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.

I would like Freetube 100x more if it had a web UI instead of a non-browser interface. A web UI with a companion extension to automatically redirect YT video links to it could be so seamless.

If it's hosting a server on the local network that would also provide a perfect solution to not having any way for view history or settings to automatically sync between different devices.

I tried it there but my browser works better is my first impression, I'm using thorium with Ublock, YouTube enhanced and some other addons.

Did honestly just give this a test but I kept getting videos just freezing up for no reason.

All they need now is an iOS/iPadOS app.

I just wish it supported tabs, I'd switch immediately if it did

Yt in browser (ff+UBO) plays less than a minute, then stops. Freetube works. I hate google.

I use ff+uBO, and all works, never saw an ad. I am also using a VPN that blocks/filter ads, that might help.
