Can somebody help me figure out how to cast YouTube from Firefox onto my Nvidia Shield? I usually just use the YouTube app on the Shield but I get ads that way. I was hoping there was a way to cast from Firefox to prevent ads. Is this possible?

I use SmartTubeNext on my shield and it works well.

I'm guessing you would have to "sideload" that app?

I haven't tested it myself so not sure how well it works, but Grayjay highlights it as a feature
