Is there a privacy difference between using a YouTube front-end like NewPipe, LibreTube, or GrayJay vs using a browser like Brave or Firefox with ad blockers like uBlock Origin, SponsorBlock, and DeArrow?

The first part is inaccurate. uBlock Origin, Brave Shields, etc. have much more control over the website then network based filters. They can set cookies, block specific cookies, block scripts, modify the html, modify the URL and more. DNS based blockers like Pi-Hole are limited to domain-based blocking.
Thanks for the correction.
