I’m not sure it’s the “best” way, but it’s a solid alternative, and receives rapid updates when YouTube moves to break things.

I’m using this all the time myself. There is no login to YouTube required and it supports adding subscriptions and doing everything important you can do on YouTube.
And the best part is no ads whatsoever.
Yaaa.
And I use Enhancer for YouTube™ on desktop Firefox on my Bazzite PC.
And Tubular on my Android phone.
For people who are okay with using YT’s official frontend, I couldn’t recommend Enhancer for Youtube™ more.
