It allows to remove all youtube annonyances (autoplay, comments, suggestions, ads, in video ads, and more) and tweak a number of things.&lt;p&gt;Only a couple downside for me, the playlist support is a bit shaky and once in while a video will fail to load or start and requires closing and reopening the window.&lt;p&gt;[1]: &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;freetubeapp.io&amp;#x2F;&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;freetubeapp.io&amp;#x2F;&lt;/a&gt;</text><parent_chain><item><author>jchw</author><text>My essential Firefox fix is Librewolf.&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;librewolf.net&amp;#x2F;&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;librewolf.net&amp;#x2F;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;Unlike many Firefox forks, it tracks modern Firefox.
