    FreeTube + integrated SponsorBlock

    It blocks normal ads, plus Sponsored segments and some other segments if you wish to. Its configurable. This addon is also available for Firefox. I do not use Firefox to watch YouTube anymore.

      I hadn’t heard of FreeTube, thanks for the recommendation.

        It lets you have a local configuration that keep tracks of what videos you watched and allows for custom playlists. Without a Google account. I don’t know if a smartphone app is available, as I only use it on my PC.
