I’m looking for ones that ideally don’t log IP. Is there a guide somewhere that looks into each of these instances and whether or not they fulfill the privacy promise?

I’m most interested in Invidious.

    self hosting is the only way to guarantee logs arent shared.

    however it also means that your server address only pulls requests for things YOU look at, not the whole pool of people using the server. imo this is a bad trade off as it would allow the services to track my browsing easily anyway.

    personally I would recommend looking at libredirect with a large # of frontend instances selcted & a vpn/tor. these websites normally work without javascript, so assuming you have a privacy focused browser your IP is the only tracking metric they really have. spreading your requests out over different servers whilst using a proxy would make this really difficult to correlate as it would require that mutliple instance operators were malicious & collaborating.
