This is a fork of FreeTube based on 0.20.0 version ,maintained to be working on Win7/8/8.1
Keep in mind that I am not a professional developer and I maintain this fork mainly for my personal use. The goal of this fork is to keep FreeTube running and being usable on Win 7/8/8.1 systems, for as long as possible. Considering that Youtube keeps creating new problems for 3rd-party clients it won't be easy to keep this fork working outside of the main application branch.
Since version 0.20.0 FreeTube has dropped support for Windows < 10, by dropping older electron version. This fork uses legacy electron version 22.3.25, the last version of electron working on older Windows systems. The same electron version which was used for FreeTube versions < 0.20.0.
However it is important to notice that using outdated electron comes with some security risks. Therefore you are using this program on your own risk.
FreeTube is an open source desktop YouTube player built with privacy in mind. Use YouTube without advertisements and prevent Google from tracking you with their cookies and JavaScript. Available for Windows, Mac & Linux thanks to Electron.
