They are the same thing (YouTube self-hosted frontend alternative) with their own features I guess?
You should test Piped, Indivious and Viewtube and make your own opinion, however Viewtube has been paused so this one is probably not going to have the SABR workaround update Piped and Invidious are working on ?
Right now they are all a bit janky and unstable because of YouTube’s new update (SABR, don’t know the details) so find one that works as self-hosted and keep tuned.
If you’re able to contribute as a dev though, give them some help to speed up the process and contribute to the best YouTube frontend alternatives projects !
also I noticed that it doesn’t really protect our privacy if we simply host it on our laptop. and most indivious instance are barely usable (freetube always gives indivious API error) so I guess the best option now is to install some fingerprint blocker and view utb in browser
hosted it and when clicking on any video it returns Error: non 200status code. Youtube API returned status code 400. It that caused by SABR? searched on google but doesn’t seem like other have this issue on indivious

Server Adaptive Bitrate Streaming, see https://github.com/LuanRT/googlevideo/blob/main/src/core/ServerAbrStream.ts. It’s a format Google developed to be used by YouTube internally, there’s no other service that uses it and thus it’s also not supported by any player libraries.
Not sure either but one of the important chances is that Dash (Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP) is being replaced with a newer system on YouTube.
There are some good innovations in the replacement but its much harder to implement.
