I'm using this all the time myself. There is no login to YouTube required and it supports adding subscriptions and doing everything important you can do on YouTube.

And the best part is no ads whatsoever.

Am I the only one that hates third-party clients for Desktop? They all have terrible UI and UX. Firefox + UBlock + Youtube is the way to go. For the phone it's NewPipe or Grayjay.

Firefox + UBlock + Youtube is the way to go.

Unless you don't like Google tracking everything you watch on youtube, that is.

Let's be real, no matter how you're watching YouTube, if you're accessing the video directly and not cached through a third party server, Google is still tracking you.

I think the point is basically having free YouTube premium (no ads).
