Similar in feature set on Desktop, but we'll also be optionally adding support for Materialious account system in future what will provide things like settings, watch history, watch progress & subscription syncing between devices.

This is mostly all already implemented with end-to-end encryption in Materialious as a web server.

Materialious can be deployed in a lot of ways.

It can be used purely as a Invidious frontend.

You can use it as a web server with its own YouTube engine and account system.

Or you can use it as a Desktop & Mobile app with or without Invidious.

Or you can even go into the advanced settings and choose when you want to use Invidious APIs or Materialious

Invidious is currently broken due to Google changing things trying to stop 3rd party clients. But eventually Invidious will catch up and Google will give up for a bit.

Materialious doesn't use remote fonts by default, only as a backup if local font loading fails. For some reason ublock in hard mode makes local font fail loading & remote font is used.

Materialious contains zero trackers. Believe this was a issue with ublock falsely flagging local fonts as trackers or something, someone else open a issue on the repo with a similar issue. Feel free to review the source code for any trackers.

Isn't just a theme, is a completely different application built on top of Invidious' API. What works completely differently to Invidious' current UI. A LOT of things are handled different then how Invidious handles it on their frontend. Replacing Invidious current interface with Materialious isn't a good idea, because its quite a bit bigger & requires JS compared to Invidious' current UI.

Calling Materialious a theme would be like calling clipious a theme.

Yea, Materialious is a bit more complex then a theme as it has a lot of custom client side logic (Like sync parties, playlists, etc).

If I expanded Materialious you'd still be able to use just Invidious or Safetwitch etc.

But Materialious at its core would still be built off the API of giants. So it wouldn't be reinventing the wheel for scrapping/handling data from twitch, YouTube etc.

Haven't used Proxitok in a while, so not sure if its working currently. Seems to be in active development tho. Misspoken, doesn't appear to be working & hasn't been updated in awhile
