Another option for viewing YouTube with Free Software is Minitube which provides a GUI frontend for YouTube without the need for a browser.
I think I come into this discussion late. What is the problem with watching YouTube with a open source browser such as FireFox?
The website won't operate properly without non-free code running in the browser. If you don't trust YouTube to run programs on your computer, that's a bad option. Using VLC to view the video from its URL, or downloading the video with ‘youtube-dl’, avoid executing any of the non-free code. -- \ “Oh, I realize it's a penny here and a penny there, but look at | `\ me: I've worked myself up from nothing to a state of extreme | _o__) poverty.” —Groucho Marx | Ben Finney
