--snip-- I've been trying to de-googlify my life and don't frequent youtube much anymore, so I haven't checked there.
Do you know FreeTube?
https://freetubeapp.io/It's open source, you won't give any data to Google, no ads, and is (as far as I know) one of the best solution to access Youtube privately.
Whaaaahh? Can someone verify this (see above statement about not using google)? I'll give you some merit if that's true.
I have uploaded the pdf elsewhere if you want to read it:
