also on Desktop, using SMplayer (admits YT and most other streaming platforms, pasting the URL in > Open > URL In the browser ypu can also watch YT without ads and without YT detecting the adblocker, using this script (Firefox use the Tampermonkey or Greasymonkey extensión, in Vivaldy download the script to a folder and drag it to the extensions page in developer mode)- It put tje Video in a iFrame, with this the YouTube Adblock detector run below this layer without detecting anything.
You can also use VLC or mpv. IINA is a good option for macOS.
I know, I used the VLC before as mediaplayer, it's very good, but the SMplayer is better, I think, Do the same, but with an cleaner UI and way easier to handle.Even eith plug-ins, eg to search direct ly YT videos, among others. It is is the graphic interface of the MPlayer and the mpv engine.
I prefer mpv because the SMplayer user interface is horrible IMO
Well, question of taste, anyway don't matter, they do the same. Try also this one (also FOSS), works wonderfully well and blazing fast.
