I am looking for for an app that registers as a YouTube endpoint, but has no ads and tracking (or backdoors). I had one (forgot the name) which stopped working. Please advice.

Libretube is what you are looking for. It uses piped api. It’s also available on F-droid.
Newpipe or Newpipe X Sponsorblock is also a good option.
Wow, this is great. Are there any downsides of using this vs using regular NewPipe? Like updates delays etc.?
Delay is usually 1-2 days. You can have both installed in parallel.
