Need a quality YouTube option on Steam Deck? Let me introduce you to FreeTube. Let me show you how to install and configure this for gaming mode - and as a bonus, I wrote a web page to convert your YouTube subscriptions into the proper format for importing into Freetube! You don't have to start over to enjoy your carefully curated subs - of which I'm hoping we are one of!

This is probably easier with a mouse and keyboard attached and you'll need a Chromium based browser (Chrome, Brave, et al) to use the subscription converter. Everything is free and easy - and I will guide you every step of the way.

Note: This is a re-upload. There is no new content here.
