This… isn’t how I thought it worked.
But one has to be careful when using Invidious since the browser gets the video feed directly from Youtube/Google unless it is proxied or a VPN/Tor is used.

It is still better than having to go to Googles ad-ridden tracker-filled website. Also, in the settings you can select an option to proxy videos.

Because its not on a powerful google server, it’s just a volunteer. Some instances allow proxying to hide your ip but i believe it is more taxing on the server
