I wonder if someone will make a browser extension that swaps out the video tag on youtube.com and replaces it with an Invidious (or other YT frontend) instance stream for the same video. You'd get an ad-free experience on YouTube without users needing to learn a new site. The added benefit is that the extension could load balance between different front ends and remove/add ones without the user changing anything.

There are multiple Firefox’s extensions redirecting Youtube to alternative frontends, including with embedded videos. Some are even balancing automatically.

  Specifically, here's an extension that does just that and more (FF and Chromium): https://libredirect.github.io/ https://libredirect.github.io/
