I am running my of YouTube front-end.

Link: https://github.com/rumca-js/Django-link-archive

Demo: https://renegat0x0.ddns.net/apps/catalog

Allows me to add channels, download individual videos, bookmark videos, etc. Uses iframe to display the video.

I have no problems with viewing videos:

- I use ff with adblock

- videos are embedded using no-referrer-when-downgrade policy

I have literally no ads.

There are some drawbacks:

- YouTube may change their policies, change embedding strategies

- To have control over videos, you still have to manually download them
