Youtube premium is pretty pointless when ublock origin exists.
Edit: sorry should have clarified. I meant in terms of blocking ads. I realize that you still can't play youtube videos and switch apps.
Does this work on mobile? I only pay for premium to get rid of ads and to allow the video to keep playing when I use other apps.
If you have android, you might wanna check out ReVanced. I cant imagine youtube without it
You can block the YouTube ads in Firefox for Android by using the free uBlock Origin add-on.
Or if you want to block even more annoying things, like sponsored segments / paid promotions or even off-topic sections (using highly customisable options) and also add additional features, like being able to play the audio while the screen is off and playing YouTube in a mini window, you can get the free Android app YouTube ReVanced.
It works on firefox
