I mean, give it a try. Easiest way is to just open a new mpv window and drag from the url bar into it. There's also a lua script that allows mpv to still make use of sponsorblock, but I haven't ever tried it. Youtube-DL is part of a standard mpv install unless you disabled it.

You can also just mpv 'youtubeurl' from terminal.

I also recently discovered mpv --no-video [url]. Useful for when I just want to listen to a podcast or something. Sadly, I can't get it to work with Spotify
