Why not just use an ad-blocker?
- yurishimo 8y agoMobile. It’s hard to block ads for mobile devices without resorting to DNS blocking hacks. Most people don’t want to deal with that.
- JDiculous 8y agoNo it's not, just use Firefox and use any adblock plugin just like you would on desktop.
- visarga 8y agoCan FF also play audio in locked screen mode?
- TeMPOraL 8y agoYouTube app itself can't do that, so I assume you're already using something different? BTW. that's literally the single dumbest thing about YouTube app, and I can't fathom why it's the case.
- Phrodo_00 8y agoPretty sure it can if you have premium... let me check: Yep.

- dorchadas 8y agoIf not Firefox, try Brave. It can play with a locked screen, though you have to restart it because it automatically pauses (might be a way to turn that off). Also automatically blocks the YT ads without a plugin. Brave in incognito mode has become my default YT listening method on mobile.
- Tsubasachan 8y agoYouTube Vanced. It replaces the YT app.
- izacus 8y agoProbably because you still want the creators of content to be paid for their efforts.
