Piped is excellent. Even live streams and 4K videos are working.
I am self-hosting my own instance. The setup was a bit more involved than for other alternative frontends, but definitely worth it.

hopefully soon we can implement anti-adblocking scripts as well
Piped js no longer working since YT started blocking Ad-blockers.
that's weird, it's working fine for me. maybe you could try hopping to a smaller instance and see if that helps? maybe it's also a regional thing im unaware of.

My first impression is that it's incredibly slow to do anything
About the only thing I miss from alternative frontends to YouTube is the ability to actually interact with my Google account. Being able to comment, subscribe, handle my playlists. I know that Invidious can handle at least the latter two parts (and for a while I self-hosted it on my own home server), but not being able to reply to comments makes the experience much more gated than YouTube proper...
