On Android I use Firefox with [1] and [2] for YouTube; the former lets me turn the screen off without letting YouTube know that the screen is turned off.
On my laptop, I use youtube-dl when I want to keep a personal copy, and mpv/vlc (which automatically using youtube-dl internally) when I just want to play something once.

The problem is even if the screen is off, youtube still sends the video data to your phone. It would be nice if youtube gave us an option of "audio only" streaming so only the audio is sent. Currently the only work around is downloading the audio using youtube-dl.
