      Firebox mobile + unlock origin extension + YouTube.com.

      You get everything that YouTube premium can offer. Including screen off play.

        On mobile you can use ReVanced.

          Don’t you still have to patch it and repack it every update?

      What I find the most hilarious is that on a rooted Android phone there is an app that hooks into the YouTube app and eliminates adds in it. Even when my PC with Firefox and UBlock get temporarily blocked in the battle between Google and ad blockers my phone using the standard app still doesn’t have adds.

      I don’t know something about it is very satisfying to me.

        Do you mind sharing the name of the app please?

        Although I always use NewPipe / Tubular and Revanced as a backup solution.

          It’s an LSposed/XPosed based app called YouTube Adaway. It also enables background playback.

        Just use Grayjay.

        Or if not that amazing app, the Revanced app.

        ReVanced works without rooting the phone
