its a toss up that theyll even do that these days though.
companies are so bold now knowing theres a strong chance theyll get away with whatever bullshit while losing minimal consumers.
ive never heard of it, i looked at it a little and it seems to be more of a self host thing, which is a potential nightmare for a casual users sanity and security. feel free to clarify if im mistaken.
brave blocks ads IN and out of the yt video player, and plays video in the background(lockscreen) with no setup at all out of the box.
to my knowledge there is not a single other first party app on the ios app store that does this.
on mobile i use brave because its the only app on ios that will background play youtube com videos without a fuss.
if firefox allowed a plugin, or just supported this feature outright, i would have 0 reason not to use firefox on all of my devices.
i wish theyd stop sleeping on users like me.
especially whenever the opposing reason is “no thanks, not for me”
there are other apps that have this feature, and im glad it does. that and no tolerance for ads are large reasons i chose the app i have, sorry sync. <3
