NewPipe is one of the best recommendations.
There is also LibreTube, and YouTube ReVanced
LibreTube depends on a Piped instance, and YouTube ReVanced will need a specific youtube-version and MicroG for Vanced.
For revanced you can download the recommended version of youtube off apkmirror, and microg can be installed without issue.
Not true. Untick MicroG component when installing and select root install. It runs on stock Google setup same as standard YT app.
Statistically speaking most people here are running on an unrooted Android device.
Thus, giving a slightly more advanced answer going over the Root Install method is mostly useless.
Either way, I've been doing this for 8 years, I know what I am talking about.
Really lmao? It was requiring root because google won't give your app with different package name the account details. Which android version and is original youtube pre installed/still there?
What?
Is your original youtube app still installed in your phone or not?
I have an uprooted Fold 3 with both stock YT and ReVanced installed with no issues other than I sometimes open the wrong one via app redirects.
Interesting. But that would mean google play services is giving all apps to access accounts, which is probably bad. And that was the exact reason why microg building for non root existed.
