Firefox gives me a great ad-free YouTube experience.

If I only watched YT on the browser sure. But I mainly get it so I can go without ads on mobile and on my TV. Yes I know there are apps like Vanced but I personally find it worth it not have to always look for workarounds.

I'm referring to watching it on mobile. Firefox lets me run YouTube in the background too.

I don't watch YouTube on the TV. The experience is horrific.

Yes but then creators and YouTube don’t get paid.

I don't care about YouTube getting paid, but apparently YT Premium is lucrative for the creators (in comparison to ads). It's a very cheap way to support the people who make the content that you enjoy.

I honestly was fine before when there was only one ad, but now that YouTube ads are as long as some of the clips I watch I generally avoid it.

When people use YouTube, I'll use Firefox.
