Out of the box it can play audio in the background, and now that extensions are available you can block ads as well. You don't really need constantly updating 3rd party clients or questionable firewalls anymore if you just want usable youtube on a phone.

yes, it's true, especially useful for IOS users, but for Android I recommend YouTube Revanced. you can block ads, there is sponsorblock and many others, such as disabling the "shorts" function

I haven't tried newpipe, is it missing any features compared to revanced? I love that I can disable the shorts player, play with my screen off, and the wide array of customization options

My main issue with new pipe is that when I scroll down to read the comments, the video disappeares. It's not fixed in place (don't know what that's called). Other than that, it's great overall!
