I’m not sure it’s the “best” way, but it’s a solid alternative, and receives rapid updates when YouTube moves to break things.

I’m using this all the time myself. There is no login to YouTube required and it supports adding subscriptions and doing everything important you can do on YouTube.
And the best part is no ads whatsoever.
Switched to PipePipe because Tubular is not updated as quickly as Tubular, the dev said it’s not on the top of their list. Also PipePipe has some more features such as playing the video faster while you leaveea finger on the screen.
I prefer PipePipe as well, it’s great It gets frequently updated.
