Any YouTube client that doesn't track me that works on Linux or in Firefox?

I'd recommend FreeTube.

It has its own backend, but it can also use Invidious. As such, you can also run NewLeaf (an Invidious-compatible YouTube scraper based on the NewPipe scraper) in the background and connect to it via FreeTube, and that should work.

I would say Freetube, it's very similar to android alternatives but in Linux, can proxy your traffic trough individious' instances.. The only downside is the 1080p limitation

Why the limitation?

I used freetube a few years ago, but i dont know if the project is still active. Was a bit buggy, but acceptable for me
