No ads, no location tracking, respects privacy. Optional registration with username and password. A perfect ethical alternative to YouTube.

Piped is slightly bulky, especially since it requires JavaScript, but it gets the job done for watching YouTube videos without trackers or ads; according to Proton, it's more private than Invidious in that, by default, it doesn't leak your IP address to Google.
Like Invidious, however, it's suffering against YouTube's anti-bot issue: https://github.com/TeamPiped/Piped/issues/3658
Piped already integrates Sponsorblock on the website, so there is no need for you to waste your space on add-ons and vice versa.
Piped is my favorite alternative to youtube he have clean design and more options than youtube.
A good Youtube Client. Beautiful design and usable. Ad blocker detected 0 ads.
Does not play playlists continuously - only one song at a time and only manually you can play next song in playlist.
