  Invidious is an alternative front-end to YouTube

  

AFAIK you have to select DASH as your preferred video quality (or append &quality=dash) for other resolutions to work. It's not enabled by default because the server has to proxy the video (CORS):

A selfhosted instance of this, combined with [Yattee](https://github.com/yattee/yattee) as a client on iOS and tvOS is a pretty decent way to consume YT subscriptions with minimal exposure to algorithm and ads.

  Overview of alternative open source front-ends for popular internet platforms (e.g. YouTube, Twitter, etc.)

There is a great list of many alternative frontends I found here: https://github.com/mendel5/alternative-front-ends

They work well for internet archiving too, e.g. when Twitter or Reddit are being annoying and showing popups/login redirects/etc. you can replace the URL with an alternative frontend version and archive the content without the cruft.
