Anyone know it there is a privacy-friendly YT Shorts frontend? (lemmy.ml)

I doubt there is as its quite specific but I want an Android app that works similarly to the shorts tab in the official YT app but without all the trackers, ads, algorithms, etc.

Kinda like NewPipe, but with a nicer way of browsing shorts. There is YT Vanced but I don't know if that removes YouTube/Google's trackers or not.

If anyone can help that would be awesome!

Maybe just use the browser and any instance of https://redirect.invidious.io/ , should be the same as a app.

Best thing I can think of is a YouTube PWA with trackers blocked on WebApps (F-Droid)
