I haven't been able to watch youtube in the browser for ages. I get like one 10-20s chunk then nothing further. Do you use just the standard block lists?
Your experience is strange, I use the official Chrome (not Chromium) with uBlock Lite and everything works perfectly (except the 5s delay at the start).
Are you using a VPN? Youtube will be a jerk to those IPs. I need to set my exit node to either Poland or Albania to watch YT. (The latter incidentally is supposed to act as an ad-blocker due to local legislation banning some types of ads, but I have my own ad-blockers so I cannot confirm.)
Firefox with sponsorblock installed and ublock origin?

Works well for me on Firefox with uBlock origin without any special lists.
Personally I use my own fork of FreeTube on desktops, though, falling back to Firefox with uBlock when there are outages.

Even on the fastest computer I got, I have to wait 2 whole minutes for the website to finish loading. I think they really hate Firefox.

Freetube is pretty great, also you can import your newpipe subs. Http://Freetubeapp.io
Shameless promotion here but I think https://channelsurfer.tv is a good experience.
Brave browser.
I'm not sure about transferring subscriptions between Pipe and Brave...?
It's not that well known, but mpv supports playing youtube videos. I think you need yt-dlp installed.
Grayjay I'd say. Also works great on Android.
Freetube if it's still working? I haven't tried it in a while.
It's working again.
Chrome with sponsorblock and ublock origin lite
Reject Chromium, accept Firefox
Why settle for lite?
