I think the best thing to do is selfhosting your own instance :/ piped is doing a great job with their script to install with docker ! Yes I know this takes away the privacy feature allowing google to get your public IP and other annoying metadata… However all the rest works as expected !
It has some quirks right now though… But they are very close in solving the issue (already done with LibreTube ).
No sponsors, no ads, customizable and watch YouTube videos without a premium account?
Edit1: Lighter UI
Edit2: There’s a way to use a VPN and split tunneling but didn’t dug that far right now. So it’s still possible to have the privacy feature if that’s against your threat model/privacy concerns.

If it takes away the privacy, why do it at all?

And lighter UI. Pretty important for when you’re on a system with limited ram, like the steam deck.
its just the ip, you can use a vpn
Or use nadeko’s onion service
