Now that invidious is basically dead, how do you watch YouTube? (lemmy.ml)

As of late, invidious has become pretty much unusable for me. All the instances either don't work or are very slow, and as nobody knows Crystal more and more bugs keep cropping up (e.g. right now search is broken on all instances).

Are there any alternatives? I know of FreeTube but its client is Electron which is a no-go for me. I also know of youtube-dl, but I'm more interested in a website I can use to watch YouTube while proxied.

I can actually use the instance https://invidious.snopyta.org including the search engine. I also would like to find an alternative.

The "freetube" software (kinda like NewPipe, but for computer) is maybe gonna turn interesting in the future (at the current moment it's still based on invidious I think)

Also, what I would like to get is not only something to watch YouTube. I would like to get an aggregator, so I could watch several platforms at the same time (like Peertube, YouTube and SoundCloud). That would be just awesome.
