## End-User FAQ
### Can I use MinPluto on this device?
For devices with a web browser built-in, MinPluto will run in it. However, MinPluto does not have a dedicated app for devices like Roku, Amazon Firestick, Google TV, and any other Smart TV device along with gaming consoles.
For mobile users, you can install MinPluto from your browser as an app, if the browser has that option.
### Will there be a Android/iOS app?
For now, MinPluto is planned to be only a web application that can be accessed via a web browser. There are currently no plans to build a mobile application.
### What data does MinPluto collect?
MinPluto by itself does not collect any data about you or any other user.
If you decide to opt-in to the telemtry, the Telemtry page will list what is logged and what is not logged.
However, please keep in mind that on other MinPluto instances, the instance operator can log your IP address like any other server could.
### What is a YouTube/Twitch frontend?
A frontend is it’s own UI and service that serves data from another platform such as YouTube, Twitch, X, Reddit, etc.
### Why use a different frontend and not use the real thing?
There are multiple reasons to use a frontend like MinPluto. Reasons such as like privacy, to avoid being tracked from invasive companies; speed, to avoid the bloated pages that these platforms have…frontend alternatives are commonly lightweight; and another reason is to avoid ads, all frontends don’t serve ads like these platforms do.
### Why is the player different for Twitch Streams?
In order to support playing live streams for MinPluto a technology known as HLS(HTTP Live Streaming) has to be added to a supported player, in this case VideoJS. Using your browser's built-in player will not work and this has not been tested for for MinPluto's custom player yet.
