Invidious has some frontends for youtube that block all tracking and ads. They have webapps, and some devs have integrated the invidious system into desktop apps. These apps let you save your subscriptions on the invidious side too without needing to log in to google/YouTube.
But their apps get broken by YouTube every few weeks or so
Really your best bet for using YouTube without ads is still Firefox + Ublock Origin. If you’re signed into an account you will still have tracking cookies.
For downloading YouTube videos and audio yt-dlp is still the best
How do you get the best audio possible, something about it having to be 1080p for the least amount of compression?
yt-dlp will pull the highest quality video and audio that is available unless you specify otherwise.
