Tor. I know that is not a list, but all other options provide the most important metadata anyway (what you watch, when you watch, where you watch). If you use invidious, you are just giving you data to them instead, which COULD have security implications.
An interesting idea would be to have a script that is always watching unrelated videos. Poisoning the well.
