feat(eos): add alternatives

# Alternatives to Big Tech

/e/OS users report YouTube App sometimes stops playing videos after a minute, and there’s no official fix yet. Until we find a permanent solution, rely on the browser or privacy-preserving third-party apps that remove ads and tracking.

## Workarounds

1. Open `<App Lounge> Browser` and watch YouTube videos directly—no extra install required.

2. Try one of the verified F-Droid apps:

   - [NewPipe](https://f-droid.org/packages/org.schabi.newpipe/) ([newpipe.net](https://newpipe.net/))

   - [LibreTube](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.github.libretube/) ([libre-tube.github.io](https://libre-tube.github.io/))

   - [Clipious](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.github.lamarios.clipious/) ([github.com/lamarios/clipious](https://github.com/lamarios/clipious))

These alternatives fetch YouTube data without ads or trackers and can be installed via App Lounge or their official websites.

## Benefits of the workarounds

- Browser + third-party apps block ads and trackers embedded in YouTube.

- LibreTube and Clipious ship with SponsorBlock integration so they skip sponsored segments automatically.

> Tip: We’ll update this guide once a working fix for the YouTube App arrives.

- **Murena Find & Spot search** – explore the Spot metasearch engine with privacy-first quick answers for conversions, math, and units. [Discover Spot →](search/)

- **Rooting /e/OS** – learn what rooting means for the project, why adb root is hidden on official builds, and how to proceed if you opt into root access. [Handle rooting carefully →](rooting/)

- **Build status** – understand the official, community, test, unofficial, and custom channels plus their naming schemes so you know what to expect before flashing. [See build status →](build-status/)

- **Alternatives to Big Tech** – use browsers or apps like NewPipe/LibreTube/Clipious instead of the YouTube App until the native player stabilizes. [Explore alternatives →](alternatives-to-big-tech/)

## Workarounds

1. Watch YouTube videos in the Browser.

2. Use Third-Party apps to watch YouTube videos. We've verified that the following apps work well - 

- [NewPipe](https://f-droid.org/packages/org.schabi.newpipe/) ([Website](https://newpipe.net/))

- [LibreTube](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.github.libretube/) ([Website](https://libre-tube.github.io/))

- [Clipious](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.github.lamarios.clipious/) ([Website](https://github.com/lamarios/clipious))

You can download these apps from the App Lounge or from their official websites.

## Pros of using workarounds

Our Browser app and the above third-party apps block Ads and Trackers from YouTube. LibreTube and Clipious even block the in-video sponsors section using their integrated [SponsorBlock](https://sponsor.ajay.app/) extension.
