I like invidious.snopyta.org because its parent website seems to be a privacy focused organization, but is it actually good for privacy, and are there any other Invidious instances with good privacy track records?

Other than Cloudflare instances (while we’re at it, AWS/Azure/Google Cloud hosted instances are also no-go’s), a major concern of mine is the instance maintainers themselves using it to collect data to sell.
Yes, I did not mean just CF. Other instances should also be certainly avoided, but CF is taken lightly compared to Big Tech.
Best way to view videos, honestly, is mpv + youtube-dl.
Check format ID code using
youtube-dl -F <VIDEO_URL>
, and play usingmpv --ytdl-format=<FORMAT_ID> <VIDEO_URL>
. You can even Torify this if you like, or just download using youtube-dl like I do.
