I love how on mobile Brave browser you can add YouTube videos to your Brave playlist and then play them while your screen is locked.

Also I switched from StartPage to Brave search, but I do wish Brave search had a translator feature. Like on StartPage I just search "translate" and get an input box. I find it better than most other browsers' translators.

using Brave on an iphone for Youtube is a godsend. Almost as good as desktop experience. Youtube app, Safari and Chrome suck enough to be unusable

Can I ask what’s so good about YT on Brave? I use the iOS app but could change.

Does it block ads?

[nostromo]

Yes.

If you browse YouTube on mobile via the Brave browser it blocks all YouTube ads.

I haven't used the YouTube app in a year...

Unrelated, but the same result is achievable by using Safari and 1Blocker for the people who don’t feel like installing another browser but are tempted by the mobile, ads free YouTube experience on iOS

[ummonk]

That’s what I do. I’d like to make the switch to Brave but iCloud passwords is a must have feature for me so I’m stuck with Safari on iOS and Mac.

Haha, as a long time Apple user trying to get out, these are kind of things that makes it leaving Apple so hard!

same here, couldn’t live without it.

btw: it’s also possible to go to fullscreen mode, then go directly to the home screen so that the pop-over player is activated, then the video keeps playing while the screen is looked, with controls working from the lockscreen.

Unrelated but you can also block ads with the FF mobile browser using ublock origin. I understand playing videos with screen locked is a big plus for brave though.

Ads, offline saving and playback continues when the phone is locked. All triggered by pressing a “+” button for add to playlist

If you're on Android NewPipe is also amazing, especially the sponsorblock fork which the original devs unfortunately refuse to integrate.
