Yes others beat me to it but they are front ends. Freetube acts very similar to the YouTube browser website on desktop but can use various back end solutions like invidious (I’ve only been using it for a few days but seems to work this way). I’ve just left it on the default settings but it accomplishes what I’d like it to do, which is strip out the ads + incorporate sponsorblock.

Newpipe I’ve been using on android to download videos and music for offline viewing and listening for awhile now, but similar idea.

Decided to start using Freetube on desktop, Newpipe on mobile. It works!
