I switched to Arch Linux as my operating system a few years ago, and here I use the FreeTube app from the AUR. It’s a third party frontend for YouTube, similar to Nitter for Twitter (X).
And for work (Windows) I watch YouTube via Invidious instances, e.g. yewtu.be also a third party frontend for YouTube

if I remember correctly, it scrapes the Youtube page directly by default, unless you explicitly enable Invidious proxy. only then it would be comparable to a third front-end.(since that’s when it actually uses one).
