For desktop install and use "FreeTube".

Alternatively for your android phone you can use "GrayJay"

Never. Pay. For. YouTube. Premium

NewPipe still works well for me on Android.

I assume you need to be rooted for Gray Jay?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

No, it works fine for me. It's just an apk.

I really hope not

You don't need root because this is its own app unlike the apps like revance which patch your existing YouTube app.

You don't need root for ReVanced. It can patch an APK from storage.
