FYI, Vinegar is well worth a couple of bucks. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/vinegar-tube-cleaner/id1591303229 https://apps.apple.com/us/app/vinegar-tube-cleaner/id1591303... Install it, and delete the janky "native" app. Now Youtube is a webpage that does everything it does on a regular browser. PiP? Audio with the screen locked or in the background? Yes and yes.

I've been using vinegar forever(Orion browser supports PiP without extension by the way) But it's bizarre to me how bad the PiP experience on iOS is. When you press play on your bluetooth headset it will pause the video you're playing instead play whatever was on your Music app. If you lock your screen, it will stop playing the youtube video and then you have press play again on the lock screen to resume. Contrast that to either third party youtube clients on Android or (Re)vanced, and it's not even close. And it seems every app has its own PiP issues. Every iOS I'm secretly hoping that Apple will address this issue, but it never happens ...

  The first problem you describe (wanting to play both music and a video?) is just weird, and I’m glad the default pehavior doesn’t do that. Your second problem is jank intentionally introduced by YouTube.

Does it still block ads? I happily used Vinegar before, but it lost that functionality when YouTube’s crusade against ad blockers began (I don’t recall if it just let the ads through, or if it triggered the “Ad Blocker Detected” pop-up). With that, YouTube single-handedly forced me to move browsers on all my devices – from Safari to Orion, where I get to use uBlock Origin. uBlock seems to have stayed a step ahead of YT since.

  I don't see ads on YouTube, but I use both Vinegar and Wipr.

  I've had some issues with it but it seems to be back working as of the last two or three weeks.

  Set your vpn to India and buy YouTube premium there for like 1 dollar a month. Cheaper than adblockers and works everywhere

    In what universe is 1 less than 0? I haven't paid one red cent for uBlock Origin.

      Universes where your time isn't worthless? A low cost, fire-and-forget solution might easily out-value free.

        I’m confident that installing uBlock Origin will be faster and easier than subscribing to YouTube Premium.

        Until YouTube blocks you. I'm really not arguing for any particular course of action but these options have real and potential time costs that need to be weighed against financial and mental load.
