Description

Notable things that I've done:

Ordered the headings in a more logical structure for readers
removed some sentences that were redundant
removed browser extension disclaimer because the link didn't provide the adequate info anymore and couldn't find a good replacement

Screenshots

I think its better to go to https://github.com/efb4f5ff-1298-471a-8973-3d47447115dc/FreeTube/blob/marketing/README.md

Additional context

Need your help/opinion on:

Did i miss some features that we should definitely list?
Should we update our pictures to show more of our features?
i've made the nighly builds header smaller because it is a subset of the official downloads but the header is now the same size as plain text. Should i revert this change?
Do we want to add badges/widgets in the same way https://github.com/privacyguides/privacyguides.org did above their about header?
Do we want to include the following statement in the extension section?

In order for the extension to work properly, you must be using an installable, non-portable version of FreeTube. This is because non-portable builds do not setup the required protocol needed for your operating system to redirect the URLs over to FreeTube.
The following builds are supported:
.exe
.dmg
.deb
.rpm
Flatpak

Sorry requested your review to help me with the things listed in Additional context section

Why nobody reading the Additional context section :(

Did i miss some features that we should definitely list?

Having a Pikachu as developer /s

Should we update our pictures to show more of our features?

No, at most link to a page on docs and update docs website to display images (otherwise this README might become very long)

i've made the nighly builds header smaller because it is a subset of the official downloads but the header is now the same size as plain text. Should i revert this change?

Fine for me ._.

Do we want to add badges/widgets in the same way https://github.com/privacyguides/privacyguides.org did above their about header?

Change welcome but separate PR preferred

Do we want to include the following statement in the extension section?
In order for the extension to work properly, you must be using an installable, non-portable version of FreeTube.

Is it repeatedly asked? If so include it

Not sure about including the screenshot one. It'd definitely a nice to have but it's pretty easy to take a screenshot outside of thevapp (on windows, you just have to do Win + Shift + S and you can select an area to screenshot). Iirc the screenshot only takes a screenshot of the video so maybe that should be included in the line if you still want to keep it?
Tldr: screenshot is cool but it's not really a selling point of freetube

I also think you should include that part in the extension section that says not all builds are supported

README.md

 ## Features

 * Use YouTube without Google tracking you using cookies and JavaScript
 * Two extractor APIs to choose from (Built in or Invidious)
 * Subscribe to channels without an account
-* Local subscriptions, history, and saved videos
+* Connect to an externally setup tor proxy


Maybe remove "tor" as the proxy doesn't have to be a tor proxy

Suggestion Connect to an externally setup (tor) proxy

Maybe Connect to an externally setup proxy such as Tor

sound good to me
