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

Yes for all those things. Doesnt have youtube recommended or sign in, but you can export youtube subscriptions from your account. LibreTube is also great and i like it better (when my phone doesnt cause problems)

Last time I tried Newpipe it wasn't all that great. Would be fine if you just hit up YouTube for random stuff, but didn't have any consideration for channels you subscribed to. I'm guessing it's gotten better?

I find it reliable. I just use subscriptions feed.
