Consider these open-source front-ends:

No ads, no tracking, very customizable. You can import subscriptions, but signing in isn't supported except in FreeTube Mobile. Also these apps sometimes don't work for a few days whenever YT changes its back-end.

Newpipe and Grayjay are great options!

Thank you! I have ad block for PC but am forced to use mobile for awhile and was dreading the incessant ads on mobile.

I guess it's not too great of a coincidence though; YouTube is always making the platform worse, so these recommendations are flying around pretty often.

If you’re on iOS, check out Orion browser—it can install firefox extensions, including ublock. I’m pretty sure there are ways to get this done on Android, too, but I’m not familiar with them. I haven’t seen an ad on youtube in years, on desktop or mobile.
