I have ad free YouTube on the YouTube app on Android. Just takes modding the app through a simple guide. Only works on Android though, not iOS IIRC. The tool is Revanced.
Also for Android Smart TVs, check out the TV app called SmartTube Next.

ReVanced, NewPipe, SmartTube. You’re correct that their mobile browser experience sucks.
