It’s not so much that they’re blocked, they just don’t work because ios Firefox is actually safari. It’s the same with all browsers on iphones, they’re all safari.
Apple only allows different browser engines in the European Union, but even there they came up with enough requirements that they aren’t allowed in practice:
I’m not the person you asked, and I don’t care if you buy YT premium, but Firefox mobile can play background videos, the only finicky thing is it pauses when you turn your screen off, but you can press play on your lockscreen to start it again.
I use smarttube next on my television.
For music, I personally do Qobuz because they pay marginally better than Spotify (albeit still not a ton.)
New pipe, smart tube, vanced, etc etc. there are about 15 options before I would pay even 1 extra dollar to Google. Every TV manufacturer seems to still have a working option.
If none of those work, I can honestly just do without.
It is, however, the music publishing industry. Mostly Sony Music, Universal Music, and Warner Music.
Those 3 behemoths of avarice hoard the rights to 80%+ of the popular music of the entire world, so they’re arguably just as undeserving of your money as Google is 🤷
Use smart tube apk on your tv if you have an android device doing video, or if your tv supports apk installation from usb. Nvidea shield or similar works amazing.
Man I just use ublock on Firefox, it works on all my devices including my phone, and I’ve never once had to play with it
Not iPhone unfortunately. Firefox plugins are blocked.
And there’s the worm in your Apple.

Try Brave; they’re a shit company but the iPhone version gives you back some of the YouTube perks.
Video Lite works fine for me on iPhone. It even gives me youtube audio with locked screen.
And can you play videos on your phone with the screen off?
How about when you cast to a smart TV? Does your browser based ad-block work then too?
What do you use for music? If it’s Spotify, why? YT premium costs just about as much.
Firefox, Video Background Play Fix addon, works like a charm.

If you haven’t, check out Grayjay for YT on mobile.
Or NewPipe
Chuckles, yeah buddy there was this adVanced app the I had to REinstall it. Paying is for suckers.

Because it’s not google.

I personally think the music industry is worse than Google, but they had a head start on being shitheads
You sound like someone that thinks weed turns you into a murder chicken.
Yep. However, it’s somewhat inconsistent. YT doesn’t want you to be able to but it does work, for now.
