I’m not sure it’s the “best” way, but it’s a solid alternative, and receives rapid updates when YouTube moves to break things.

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.

    Sorry, I didn’t read the article. Thanks for picking me up on it.

    I just use my Brave browser which avoids ads and doesn’t require login but I see now that FreeTube offers a few customisation features and allows you to import your subscriptions.

    And there are privacy benefits too. With Freetube your watch history is stored only on your computer, not YouTube’s servers

    Really? I imagine it is free because FreeTube collect data on you.
