Don't forget the "Video Background Play Fix" add on. That paired with the adblocking makes it where you can watch ad free YouTube while in another app or even with the screen off.

Here's another trick. Go to youtube and then go to your Firefox menu and check "desktop site". And then you can install it as a PWA on your Homescreen. Don't worry, when you open it up for the first time from your Homescreen, it will be back in Mobile web format.

This essentially makes it an isolated app from your browser. Not cluttering up your history and tabs.
