NewPipe is an open-source streaming client for Android that lets you watch/download from YT without ads. Recently they also added support for PeerTube, Bandcamp and more. I can now stream my favourite albums from Bandcamp without dealing with a browser.

I use this to listen to music without wasting bandwidth on video streams and battery on keeping the screen on.
@unfa Yep, NewPipe is very nice. I got hooked to the "swipe up down" gestures in the left half of the display for brightness and in the right half for volume (or the other way around).
Using it for some months now through F-Droid I did see the YouTube part break a few times. The documentation notes that one should probably add their own repository to F-Droid to get faster updates than through regular F-Droid.
So if you are confronted with broken YT support - maybe try their repo.
