Might I suggest Invidious as an alternative, you can host your own that way only 1 device on your network needs to contact YouTube directly or you can use one that is public.
I sadly am on a iPad and iPhone, but I do use the app Unwatched that blocks youtube ads. I have tried setting up invidous but I some how always seem to mess it up The Google knows what I have watched on Youtube and that is it. I use pihole to block a lot of the tracking and I have my own email setup so that every time I need to hand out an email it is a new one. I was with hosthero but they have no wild card emails and I could not add A records, or it was very hard don’t remember or care, I am now with easyDNS and wish I started with them as they have everything I was looking for without CPannel!
