The YouTube mobile website is intentionally crippled. For example, the video refuses to play in a video popout, even though the same browser feature works for me on other mobile websites and on desktop YouTube. Personally I just avoid browsing it on mobile as a result, but I could see someone being convinced to install the app.

On iOS, installing vinegar sorts this. You get video pop outs and no ads to boot. It’s much better that the app and seems to give longer battery life (hardware acceleration?)
