A comment on Invidious: An alternative front-end to YouTube.

Invidious has been my primary way of using YouTube for over 2 years now (combined with an RSS reader to use as "subscriptions").

The official website is near-unusable in Safari and I dread clicking anywhere out of fear of causing a page reload/navigation and waiting for megabytes of JS to try to (poorly) reimplement existing browser behaviors.

Invidious is blazing-fast in comparison. The lack of ads, BS and dark patterns is also a nice bonus but the primary advantage for me is speed.

Not OP but I use https://www.inoreader.com as a YT feed.

News Explorer - it's Mac and iOS only and uses iCloud to sync.
