Freetube is an open-source Youtube client. Go check it out.
On Android you can use NewPipe and on the desktop there's Freetube, like u/zeko9381 already suggested, or what I like to do usually (I'm on Linux): I copy the URL of the video and run mpv to watch it with https://mpv.io/, which is imho the best video player out there. You just need youtube-dl installed, and it'll automatically use it to fetch the video from YouTube, also ignoring the age restriction.

Another great tool is ytfzf, which is pretty much a bash script that uses fzf (fuzzyfinder) to navigate searchresults and parses the links to MPV/Youtube-dl. You can also create a local file with url's of channels you want to "subscribe" to. By using the -s flag it will look up the latest video's of those channels. This also helps me getting less distracted by recommended video's.
