Since I only watch YouTube on desktop I use https://yewtu.be/ to search for content and redirector to redirect the requested video to https://www.youtube.com/embed/ or https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/. And I use uBlock and Improve Youtube, of course.

Edit: I also use FreshRSS to manage subscriptions.

Yes, embed redirect was a good solution, also using an iFrame script, but this currently works only in few videos, in the most it got the error "watch video in YouTube· It's almost a daily battle between YouTube, devs of adblockers and scripts and front-end instances, some solutions work for some days and on the next day YouTube begins to nag and block again. What we need is an real alternative of YouTube, but that need time to create something with this hugh amount of contents which nothing else has. Continue the battle against the crap, clickbaits and forced playlist pauses (well, there at least the extension still works for the moment), hoping the best.

Meanwhile Pluto TV, Bandcamp, channels from local public TV, Odysee, Rakuten TV, Internet Radio..... etc..for info, music, movies, docus.....
