I looked into it after being prompted to install youtube extension on Seren’s info page for its content listings, but I don’t think I qualify for an API key so I haven’t been able to configure it

CubitOom@infosec.pub 8 months agoOn my phone, I’ve been using newpipe for a few years with little complaints. I can import my Google account subscriptions to it but I can’t comment or rate.
On my home theater PC I have been watching YouTube via Kodi with a Google API for over 6 years. It works excellent and there is no ads. Although Google may at any time revoke access to the API or charge me a fee to use it. It is kinda technical to set up and requires Kodi which is a rather large package with a lot of python dependencies. So if you only want to watch YouTube and don’t want to set up a Google API or read a doc then it might not be for you.
Others comments here mentioned freetube which looks really promising and I might try it on my laptop.

Get the freetube electron app. It worked for me right our the box no configuration required probably because it uses an Invidious Instance.

On Android, you can also check out LibreTube. On iOS use Yattee with this guide. Piped and Invidious are ad-free, privacy-respecting web frontends for YouTube. For Android TV there’s SmartTubeNext.
