Doesn’t work well on Wayland unfortunately. Don’t know if this one does but worth a shot.

I have used FreeTube on wayland now for a long time without any issues. Electron still uses x11 as the default on wayland so you need to enable the wayland mode manually. You can easily do that by setting the ELECTRON_OZONE_PLATFORM_HINT=auto environment variable.
Thanks, that fixed the resolution issue! I also had to give it access to the dbus system socket and wayland for it to work. Wasn't sure how to do that but the flatseal app made it easy.
I use Freetube on Wayland with 0 issues.
Same here.
They fixed a few bugs already I think. But it still looks like crap (lower resolution?) on my tablet and I have to force the onscreen keyboard on manually (normally comes on by itself).

Oddly enough the video itself looks fine when playing, but not the browser interface.
