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.
… on computer.
Unofficially on Android too.
Now that’s more like it. However for android Android (phone, tablet) I already have NewPipe I’m happy with. Does FreeTube work well on Android TV? I use SmartTube and it’s good but it’s not perfect.
Grayjay seems to be more stable than NewPipe
I don’t have an Android TV so no idea. But I’d love it if that did work.
There is no shortage on frontend alternatives for PC… but somehow I have yet to find anything worth mentioning for iOS
I’m sorry but there likely never be a long-term alternative for free software such as this on that platform. Neither you nor the developer has much say on how to use it.
Freetube exists for Android also.
