I use FreeTube as a frontend for YouTube that also allows users to pick a different backend if they want. It's really great, I'd highly recommend it. You don't need to create an account and it allows you to create different groups of channels and saved videos. It's my understanding that it keeps your data locally but don't trust, verify.
+1 on Freetube. Well designed, no adds and tracking, perfect for desktop and I'd be curious to know about an alternative for mobile now that YouTube goes after ad-blockers

Libretube on Android is great
