A little while back Mozilla put out a post ushering addon developers to prep their addons but I haven't heard anything else since, I don't wanna update to early and loose everything I already got

No, they only announced plans to work together with devs to make the transition to mobile easier. It wasn't a "all addons will work on Firefox android" announcement. Hopefully most popular addons transition

on mobile i use brave because its the only app on ios that will background play youtube com videos without a fuss while also removing video player ads (among the rest).

if firefox allowed a plugin, or just supported this feature outright, i would have 0 reason not to use firefox on all of my devices.

i wish theyd stop sleeping on users like me.

e: hate me all you want for it, im still right.

ive never heard of it, i looked at it a little and it seems to be more of a self host thing, which is a potential nightmare for a casual users sanity and security. feel free to clarify if im mistaken.

brave blocks ads IN and out of the (mobile web) yt video player, and plays video in the background(lockscreen) with no setup at all out of the box.

to my knowledge there is not a single other first party app on the ios app store that does this.
