Having run both, I can recommend checking out Piped[0].
Crossover with the famous NewPipe Android app.
IME Piped recently works a lot more reliably with high-res videos compared to Invidious. If you ever have "media not available" etc. Both generally work fine with embeds, so you can use link rewriters in other alt-frontends (nitter/teddit/searx/etc) to have proxied embeds.
Piped can also be substituted for Invidious in Privacy Redirect.
