Libretube is the most private one, if you use it through the Piped proxy. However many public Piped instances are actively being blocked by Google at the moment and the workarounds that worked for me make LibreTube the same as using NewPipe, so I switched to the latter since I also use a VPN and I'm not too concerned about Google seeing my IP and I also use it only for music on mobile and watch stuff from desktop, from another VPN server, just to spread out my activity.
I wonder if there is a Piped instance that still works
Definitely, they can't block everyone's IP, but the ones you can find easily are the most used and get blocked (for now). A local instance will surely work, but then again, if you are the only user it's not different from using NewPipe.
oh okay
