Red - YouTube client for Linux10.4.0

Users can watch YouTube, YouTube TV, and YouTube Music in one lightweight desktop window rather than separating them across browser tabs. Desktop mode displays the full YouTube site with light, dark, and system themes, plus a floating mini-player that remains above other windows.

TV mode opens YouTube Leanback full-screen and accepts keyboard, mouse, and game-controller input, fitting media centers, living-room computers, TVs, and handhelds. Music mode keeps YouTube Music in the same window and adds media-key and system-tray controls, while desktop media controls show album artwork and track information. Ctrl+T switches to TV mode while retaining the current video, and Ctrl+M switches to Music mode.

Built-in ad blocking removes video ads, banners, and sponsored feed items before pages render, blocks trackers, and leaves playback traffic untouched. SponsorBlock skips supported sponsors, intros, reminders, and other segments; Return YouTube Dislike restores available dislike counts, and an option hides YouTube Shorts. Its downloader saves videos, playlists, and channels as MP4, MKV, or WebM files up to 4K, or extracts audio to MP3, M4A, Opus, FLAC, or WAV. Downloads can include subtitles, thumbnails, metadata, and chapters, optionally remove sponsor segments, detect playlists from links, and use a queue with pause, resume, and retry controls; YouTube sign-in can be reused for age-restricted downloads, while the engine configures itself on first use and updates itself.
