What do people use to watch Youtube with?

I used to use Firefox with LibRedirect and would rotate through Invidious instances, but I've had less luck with that.

If I turn on VPN, YT prompts to log in to watch videos...

FreeTube has been working for me with Mullvad VPN set to Swedish servers. Also https://inv.nadeko.net/ if I need to share links with anyone.

    Good to know. I was using FreeTube on a Linux machine I have set up to do most of my Youtube watching, but I had to disable VPN. I got tired of trying different countries and just turned off VPN. I'll try Swedish servers...

    Yeah but in the past few months ive consistently found Swedish Mullvad servers to work (occasionally blocked but if you refresh the page it's unblocked) whereas the Swiss servers, which I used to use, have been fully blocked for quite a while. I'm sure it'll change in due time but for now that's what's been working. And I have found this for all the Swedish servers I've tried and all the Swiss servers I've tried. Only tried Mullvad servers as that's the VPN I use.
