For iOS/mac, I love the Vinegar extension. It’s great for stripping YouTube down to just the video, provided you use Safari instead of the YouTube app. It also regularly updates. Yes, I know there are free ways to do this (it’s $1.99), but this is more about convenience and supporting a dev.
It’s been absolutely fantastic for me, I keep recommending it to friends but they don’t like the $1.99 price and yet keep getting upset when ads play. I’ve started replacing apps with safari links on my home page and YouTube is one of them thanks to vinegar.
FYI you can get ad-free youtube in safari for free with AdGuard
