@efb4f5ff-1298-471a-8973-3d47447115dc But, I am using the latest version, shouldn't that already be fixed on it?

nope this fix will be included in the next release.

This is not a bug, FreeTube doesn't support Invidious instances that require basic authentication, so it breaking when you do something unsupported isn't surprising.

You are however in luck if you have patience because support was added in this pull request and will be part of the next release: #5569
