I'm good with ReVanced, thanks.
Playing YouTube on a mobile browser is finicky at best.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.
**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
That's it.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Let everyone have their own content.
Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.
You can view our partnered communities list by following this link. To partner with our community and be included, you are free to message the moderators or comment on a pinned post.

Any of these (YouTube Music) players are better choices than using an extension on a browser.
Also better features like lyrics, better interface...
PS: extensions can access all of your browser data, you need to trust the extensions hoping that they aren't sending your data to some 3rd party
I've used most of these and quite frankly they are not good. Each of them quit working randomly or wouldn't play certain tracks and wouldn't get an update for days or weeks, at which point I'd move on to the next and get exactly the same experience. They're FOSS apps, and I'm fairly certain Google is to blame for breaking them, but even so if they are unusable for days or weeks at a time I cannot recommend them.
If you just want a YouTube app with no ads and background playback I would recommend PipePipe. It's what I've settled on after trying everything else, and it's fantastic. Google breaks it all the time, but updates very quickly bring it back online.
If you want something FOSS that's closer to the YT Music experience, I don't know what to tell you.
ReVanced is better, it's a cracked YouTube app
I just watched it when it stopped working after 8 months without issue. This is normal for it
There are simpler ways - using newpipe, grayjay, etc.
It's just a single install. But fair point. This allows you to create playlists, though.
Or just download it and play using VLC.
I mean... your music is gonna sound so funny if your internet stutters.
Look, I usually laugh at audiophiles for being snobs, but getting music from YouTube is gonna make your music sound funny without Internet issues
Get the music elsewhere if you're gonna play local files
