Yes but I am looking for an option for my TV. Not to interested in sending everything from my iPad to my TV, I may break because the ads on youtube are so annoying.
I have a pi 5 that I am considering using as an option but I I do like the idea of having a remote control.
I got a very cheap second hand HP G4 mini PC with a Bluetooth remote control.
It sits under my TV, and I use it for all my downloading needs (away from any computer that gets used for email or banking, etc), playing videos, and emulated games with an old Xbox controller.
Works faster than anything built into the TV, and the remote is better because it has a proper little keyboard on it :-)
TBH the experience is so positive I don’t understand why anyone would want to use the smart features of a modern TV when they could be doing this instead.
Magic Youtube is a Chrome addon I use to block youtube adds (in addition to other features). Available anywhere you use chrome, but I think there’s also a firefox version.

I have the osmc remote which I believe you should be able to make work on a pi 5 and kodi . Probably other choices too, pishop.ca has many options.
If you have an android TV, you can get smarttube

While Firefox is open source the company in charge of it is based in the US.
There are Firefox derivatives which are functionally equivalent for these purposes.
I use Zen browser but there are others. These still rely on Mozilla for primary browser engine development but is independent and community-driven.
