You can bypass YouTube ads by adding a dot after the domain

Invidious (https://github.com/omarroth/invidious) is a server-side proxy for YouTube that removes all the bullshit (ads, background play restrictions, etc) while requiring no client-side support (so no need for side loading and will work on iOS).

There is a hosted instance at https://invidio.us if you want to check it out, but for continuous usage I highly recommend deploying your own as it's much faster.

If you deploy it yourself and you're pretty much the only user of your instance, don't you loose the anonymization benefit of a proxy?
