It can be a bit buggy at times, but when it comes to just playing music with the screen locked, it’s perfect.

But you don’t need an extension for that? Just standard firefox can already do that.
This might be about the auto pause that happens during playlist. However OP did not say so I might be wrong.
What I do is I just jump into Termux and yt-dlp that shit. Then I can listen to it however I want, and I have it for ever, if I want.
edit: (Also I’m just not a huge fan of addons, but if you are and this works for you, that’s cool)
I also use it to listen to podcasts/ lore videos without having my screen on when I’m falling asleep. It’s also nice for driving. If you make a playlist and have an ad blocker, it WILL continue on to the next song.
I’m actually thinking of forking Firefox and making a lite version mostly geared towards playing YouTube content without ads and without restrictions.
There are simpler ways - using newpipe, grayjay, etc.
It’s just a single install. But fair point. This allows you to create playlists, though.
It’s not gonna mean much of shit soon, anyone in the know is ditching Firefox for alternatives.
Firefox has changed their terms of service and is now starting to sell user data.
They reverted those changes last week.
Yeah, your data is the trade away. I’m trying to fork it rn and bake in the extensions.
