If you like Invidious, NewPipe but want something for desktop or browser in general - check out Piped - https://github.com/TeamPiped/Piped
So basically it is a way to use YouTube with a proxy server in between. Quoting directly from LibreTube (an Android app based on Piped) -
> With NewPipe, the extraction is done locally on your phone, and all the requests sent towards YouTube/Google are done directly from the network you're connected to, which doesn't use a middleman server in between. Therefore, Google can still access information such as the user's IP address. Aside from that, subscriptions can only be stored locally.
> LibreTube takes this one step further and proxies all requests via Piped (which uses the NewPipeExtractor). This prevents Google servers from accessing your IP address or any other personal data.
> Apart from that, Piped allows syncing your subscriptions between LibreTube and Piped, which can be used on desktop too.
