You can use a different frontend for YouTube. You’ve got Freetube for pc, Yattee for MacOS and iOS and piped on any platform. These solutions also protect your privacy and block ads.

If only they actually worked. Never understand how they get recommended constantly and yet repeatedly I try to use them and they don't work.

I’m using Freetube on Windows, it works like a charm. Feel free to dm me if you need help.

Is that one a desktop app? I primarily use pop_OS and would prefer a web solution. I've tried piped, invidious, peertube, and libretube iirc

My problem with these is that the quality is always bad. Usually 720p max and only H.264 instead of VP9. YouTube quality is already bad enough as it is and nerfing it even more feels awful.
