Anyone who's been using privacy-respecting frontends for some time will recognise Piped. A YouTube frontend with no ads, integrated SponsorBlock, return dislikes, and a customisable UI.

Piped also allows you to subscribe to as many channels as you want without ever logging into a Google account. You can export your subs list from YouTube and import them to Piped seamlessly.

If you've never heard of it, give it a glance at https://piped.video. For more instances, check here.

I like the ability to get an RSS/Atom feed for my subscriptions, which I just imported from NewPipe. I don't think it'll replace NewPipe for me, but it might come in handy if NewPipe fails to load a video for some reason. Even though the backend is also NewPipe, so it remains to be seen if it makes a difference.

Also great if you only have a browser available on a device and can't / don't want to sideload NewPipe.
