ThirdTube is a homebrew application for the Nintendo 3DS which replaces the original YouTube app, as the original is now unsupported.
Features
- Multiple resolutions for New 3DS, up to 360p
- This might be expanded in future versions, but the 3DS' hardware is the main limiting factor
- Old model 3DS are limited to 144p only
- Support for livestreams and premiered videos
- Searching
- Video suggestions
- Comments
- Captions
- Local watch history and channel subscription
- No ads
- This is due to the app only using YouTube's API, and is not due to ad-blockers. The creator does not plan to add their own ads at this time.
