It seems like the main benefit of such frontends is the lack of trackers and fingerprinting, but what if the browser, like Firefox, already did that with UBlock Origin and fingerprinting protection?

uBlock on Firefox stopped working to block YouTube ads for me. I could probably keep messing with filters but FreeTube is easier. Also I was unfamiliar with SponsorBlock and it’s built in automatically to FreeTube, which has been great. The downside is it seems to be limited to 1080p content and I have a 4K monitor.
Stopped working on Chrome
It quit for me on Firefox on Windows 10 at some point. I’ve never been a chrome user. Maybe it’s fixed now, but I haven’t gone back since switching to FreeTube.
