Out of the box it can play audio in the background, and now that extensions are available you can block ads as well. You don’t really need constantly updating 3rd party clients or questionable firewalls anymore if you just want usable youtube on a phone.

        I didn’t know Firefox didn’t have extensions on iOS. I would have called it Firefox android instead of mobile. I’m glad there’s still ways for iOS users to do this.

          All browsers on iOS were, until very recently, reskins of the Safari engine.

              Yeah same but Orion is legitimately running sponsor block, dark reader, and unlock origin for me. Tried it on YouTube tonight and zero ads for a few hours. I thought this was against Apple’s TOS for devs or something.
