FreeTube is an Android application that allows users to watch YouTube content without any pre-rolls, mid-rolls, post-rolls, or other video ads. There is a built-in ad-skipper, that allows you to enjoy music and clips with no interruption.
Ads
This is an unofficial YouTube alternative, that allows you to watch various content without video ads. Keep in mind, that the utility is actually ad-supported, so you can still see multiple banners on any page, including one below the player.
In general, mentioned banners do not interfere with user experience. And you can actually enjoy the videos without midrolls or other interruptions.
No Login

Search
The search in FreeTube allows you to divide the results by such categories as Channels, Playlists, Videos, and All. Furthermore, you can create your local playlists and access them in the Library section.
