  I have 0 issues with Firefox on Android, except that my phone is getting old.

  I have this Samsung J6 and the latest Firefox is choppy on scroll. On this other phone instead FF doesn't run at all, too much memory required. For youtube the apps are more convenient than browsers IMHO, load faster, and set fullscreen and resolution automatically.

  Yeah, fair enough, but I hate ads enough to use FF.

  Third-party apps block ads, but those aren't listed on the playstore. Maybe it's comforting to think of the YT website as a web app itself, as a javascript blob that is downloaded and executed by the browser. Native apps do the same but better.

  I use Brave browser. No ads at all. Run in background as I do other things, even the screen off and the phone left somewhere, still playing in background.

  Try using NewPipe app from F-Droid for viewing YouTube. You can import your YouTube subscriptions if you want as well.

  The embed hack (i miss the times when that also worked for avoiding 18+ login requirements) mentioned by @MeAtExampleDotCom would be an option or you could use an invidious/piped instance but i guess the app @boot recommended is likely your best bet.

  YT is (and has been for a long time) optimized for Chrome (big surprise given it's also a Google product, i know...) making FF into a second class citizen (just forget about something like Palemoon - the amount of polyfills needed makes everything into a slide show). That alone is reason already reason enough for me to use Invidious. Actually YT's bloat site would actually make a good target for some environmental activist group as the amount of energy wasted on their pointless bling-bling-interface is probably massive...

  Looks like youtube messing around yet again with their regional viewer.
  I don't see the ads but someone said this filter fixes it:
