For everyone on Android, you can just patch the youtube app using ReVanced, which will remove ads, add sponsorblock, allow you to hide shorts and the “People also watched” sections. It can be pretty tricky to patch if you don’t know what you’re doing so feel free to tell me if you run into any issues.
If you don’t care about the algorithm and your feed, you can get the third-party client NewPipe, it’s FOSS but sometimes crashes while reading some videos It does not seem to crash anymore, so good thing!

I use gray Jay instead, it has become really good the last wave of updates. Wife is on revanced, I’ll change her over if gray jay adds shorts.
There is still a few paper cut issues with it, but over all I prefer gray jay over the official YouTube app.
Well, thanks for sharing! The more options the better!
I don’t think I’ve ever had NP crash. What do you mean by “some videos”?
