SkyTube Extra

I haven't tried SkyTube but looking at their GitHub it seems the video player it relies on is the cause of the issue and is also needing minimum 5.0: https://github.com/SkyTubeTeam/SkyTube/issues/1062

Legacy requires Android 4.0 minimum, it was branched out to Legacy due to crashes and development burden getting the main one to work properly. You can find it here.

Interesting. I can recommend Skytube extra for casting without ads. Smarttubenext seems to be another good option if you have the newest chromecast with google tv or an android tv box (which I don't)

SkyTube Extra (version 45): A simple and feature-rich YouTube player

Our goal with the Chromium provided in CalyxOS has been to provide a browser with a solid base of privacy and security enhancements vs Chromium (and by extension, vs Chrome) while still allowing most sites and WebView-based apps to function as expected out of the box. We do this by using select changes from Cromite (and prior to that, Bromite). Some of these include the under-the-hood deactivation of intrusive features and analytics, while others provide additional site settings to adjust features like WebGL and WebRTC, features which are sometimes necessary but which can aid in fingerprinting or identification when turned on. We also bring in the legacy ad blocker from Bromite/Cromite to offer some reasonable protection from the worst kinds of ads. You can find and adjust these features in Settings.

Normally, I'd recommend Bromite as a lightweight Chromium-based browser with built-in adblocking, but the project appears to be asleep right now. It might be worth checking it in a few weeks, though.

Bromite via either its site/Fdroid, GitHub or Woolyss site has a bottom bar available in accessibility settings. (The first one has been unmaintained for a while, but has auto updates available if they ever drop. The other two are up to date but must be updated manually.)

Bromite hasn't been updated since December: https://github.com/bromite/bromite/releases
