This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
What is freetube? (Sorry for the stupid question)
One of many different "third party frontends" for YouTube which, amongst other things, cut out ads and avoid performance throttling.
Personally I use one called NewPipe, and previously one called LibreTube. There are others too.
