This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
NewPipe (mobile), FreeTube (desktop), SmartTube (TV). If you did not know about these, you're welcome.
Newpipe is great, with a play in background mode as well.
How does it fair against LibreTube? As that's what I'm using right now on my phone, I've had no issues with it thus far.
I'd say stick with what works for you. I will say that NewPipe does not even touch your Google account. You have to go to takeout to export your playlists and then import them into NewPipe. Since I've found all three (for all three platforms), the only way I watch YouTube now is through them. Ads are a foreign concept to me now.
