Be anonymous while watching (cat falling) videos, searching the web, and listening to music on Poke - the free privacy front-end!
Welcome to Poke (formerly PokeTube), the privacy-friendly YouTube front-end built with the invidious API! Imagine paying for YouTube Premium just to download videos - couldn't be us (literally).
Poke uses OpenH264, which is free software! No non-free components included :3 View the source code of OpenH264 here. Because who wants to deal with non-free stuff? Not us!~

Copyleft 2021-202x Poke Project, mostly ashley0143 - poke does not support the "source first" or "open source" movement :3 - we support the free software movement (fsf.org)
TL;DR: we dont collect or share your personal info, that's it lol.
We use the GNU Coding Standard Thingy, see this link.
Parts of Poke are hosted on Glitch.com since 2020.
this software does not support "OSI" - they are terrible people - pls support the FSF/GNU (fsf.org or gnu.org) instead :3
