Looks like Rumble is starting to pick up. I use Freetube on desktop and Newpipe on Android.

Great alternatives guys, thank you very much. I will go through them and see what i like.

I for myself right now use Librewolf with UBlock Origin for watching YouTube videos. Right now, this filters them out pretty good and i haven’t seen an ad in quite some time.

Use the “Enhancer for YouTube” plugin - you can filter the ads out - aside from the ones that content providers put into their content, though some of those are almost as entertaining as the actual content!

Nebula is probably the one that channels you recognize would recommend

There is peertube and odysee

When you want to watch YouTube but without the ads:

• NewPipe on phone
• Invidious on browser (under attack by Google at the moment, have to see how it goes)

And as others mentioned there are some alternatives:

• PeerTube
• Odysee
