Youlag is a FreshRSS extension that allows you to browse your YouTube RSS feed through a modern video-centered interface. It incorporates a bunch of quality-of-life features and mobile friendly layout.

Supports both text-based and video feed content.

Why?

For those who prefer not to use a Google account to stay connected with creators, following via RSS provides a way to do so without being tied to a specific platform.

Since FreshRSS is web-based, you can access your subscriptions and playlists from any device.

Recent features:

  • Add your own Invidious instance to use it a video playback source.
  • Simulated “Picture-in-Picture” mode, allowing scrolling through the feed while keeping the video in the bottom corner of the page.

Other features:

  • Fullscreen viewing for videos and articles.
  • Familiar video layout to e.g. YouTube.
  • Dark mode.
  • Redesigned mobile menus for better one-handed navigation.

Note for existing Youlag users:

Youlag is now installed as a standard FreshRSS extension, and no longer uses “User CSS/JS” method. To upgrade, please install it as with any other FreshRSS extension.
