Youlag is a FreshRSS extension that allows you to browse your YouTube and article RSS feeds through a modernized design that incorporates quality-of-life features.
It is designed for a distraction-free experience, for people who want to be intentional about their viewing habits.
Why?
Subscribe to creators via RSS without a Google account, stay free of algorithms, and access your subscriptions from any device. Youlag can also be used just for article reading.
Highlights v4.3.0
- Video entries supports direct links and can now e.g. be opened in new tabs.
- The floating miniplayer restores position and autoplays on its own when you navigate, so no more manually hitting play.
- Mobile: Swipe left side of the screen to open/close the sidebar.
- Hide description intro if it contain links; reduce chance of seeing sponsored content.
Other features
- Block incoming YouTube shorts

This looks great but unfortunately, it stops keyboard controls from working.
Youlag adds its own keyboard control, so it might be interfering with FreshRSS’ default ones. I personally never utilized any of FreshRSS’ keyboard shortcuts and might have overlooked that aspect.
If you don’t mind opening an issue in the repo with the relevant context, I might be able to look into it in the future.
