Freetube is the best way to watch YouTube

I'm not sure it's the "best" way, but it's a solid alternative, and receives rapid updates when YouTube moves to break things.

I'm using this all the time myself. There is no login to YouTube required and it supports adding subscriptions and doing everything important you can do on YouTube.
And the best part is no ads whatsoever.
Out of curiosity, what's is better about it than YouTube?
Vanilla YouTube is obvious, but I've got ublock origin , sponsor block and that thing that renames stuff to non click bait.
It all just works and I don't get adds and I keep all my sub's and still get useful suggestions.
On android i just use revanced.
So, what's the pull of downloading a 3rd party for Linux / PC?
Sounds like something I'd use, what is it called?
Sorry, I'd have said the name initially, I've just got one of those brains that doesn't always cooperate when it's needed.
Anyway, it's called "Dearrow" and it's pretty cool. Check it out!
Sweet suggestion, definitely adding this. Sick and tired of click bait titles.
