Ad blocking on your first example, YouTube, is actually one of my favorite things about Firefox Mobile.

Fuck watching half a minute of ads on YouTube before the thing I actually wanted.

Furthermore, if you're watching from within Firefox you can lock the screen without the video stopping.

Both of these features are available in YouTube on chrome if you pay for YouTube. I know paying for web services isn't something people like, but there it is.

How did I not know that? Thanks for the tip

Have you tried out NewPipe?

Newpipe is broken isn't it? Everybody should just install kiwi, it's chromium for Android WITH extensions (YouTube background audio, uBlock, etc)

um, newpipe does work for me.
