Tried it for a week or two, but since I reinstalled Firefox I really don’t understand why I was judging/hating so much in the past years. Yes, Chrome/ium used to be waaaay faster, but Mozilla just has their shit together most of the time. The Debian of browsers so to speak.

Firefox is GOAT, but I do have Brave installed on my phone specifically for playing YouTube. The Brave browser automatically blocks YouTube ads, allows me to play videos in windowed mode, and allows me to play videos with the screen off.

You might want to look into NewPipe then. Lets you do all those things with YT, plus you can also download the videos or their audio only

You could check out uYouPlus then, it doesn’t require jailbreaking or anything but instead works through “sideloading”. I’ve used it for years and it’s honestlygreat:

github.com/qnblackcat/uYouPlus

GitHub - qnblackcat/uYouPlus: uYou+ is a modified version of uYou (made by @MiRO92) with additional features and mainly made for non jailbroken users!

Or they could keep using Brave? I use Brave on my phone and Firefox on my phone for the same reasons mentioned, but in general Brave is a great browser on phones. I’m amazed it isn’t hugely popular if only for the YouTube features.

Of course they can, I never said they couldn’t. I just personally prefer YouTube’s app UI and UX over the website on mobile.
