Youlag is a FreshRSS extension that allows you to browse your YouTube and article feeds through a modernized design that incorporates quality-of-life features.
Optimized for both watching videos and reading articles.
Why?
Stay connected with creators without a Google account by using RSS. Don’t be tied to a specific platform and access your subscriptions from any device.
You can also use Youlag solely for its theme and quality of life features, ignoring any video feature.

I just have a somewhat annoying yt dlp script that runs on a schedule on my computer that downloads all my subscriptions. I tried everything else including pinchflat and it wasn’t really much of an improvement tbh.
