Invidious and YouTube piped (and LibreTube) by default load the videos server-side, as opposed to GrayJay, NewPipe or Smarttube.
It has advantages (mostly that your IP address is not shared with YouTube, and it allows users from countries where YouTube is blocked to still access it) and inconvenients (much harder to keep up when YouTube actively seeks to block them).

Invidious shares your IP with google, it does not act as a proxy

I guess this reply lost its “by default” part on the way 🤔

I’m pretty confident that you are wrong.
