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.

yes, it's true, especially useful for IOS users, but for Android I recommend YouTube Revanced. you can block ads, there is sponsorblock and many others, such as disabling the "shorts" function

Are youtube ads in Firefox on iOS blocked? They are with uBlock on Firefox Android, but iirc Firefox on iOS doesn't support extensions.

If thats the case, yeah think that guy is wrong too. I guess they would have to rely on using some kind of frontend like piped through their browser
