dvd VS iceraven-browser

For me, the less-complicated client called "DVD" is more reliable for downloading than the client called "Newpipe"; the later stops working intermittently. YMMV.

(Neither are as reliable as using own custom command line programs on desktop, or mobile via Termux. If Google makes a change I can fix/workaround immediately. No waiting for app developers.)

For me, Newpipe works well as a Soundlcoud client.

From the Kotlin source for "dvd":

Video downloader app powered by yt-dlp (formerly youtube-dl).

Features

Download video/audio from 1000+ sites supported by yt-dlp.

Run custom yt-dlp commands.

Update yt-dlp version from settings.

Share link via other apps.

Check out an app called DVD. It uses yt-dlp (which it downloads and updates for you).

On android I use this app works great

For Android I use DVD

Try DVD on F-droid or you can find it on GitHub

DVD is the one I use.

Iceraven for Android. Vivaldi for Windows.

For Android, I use Iceraven, a Firefox fork built with Firefox stable's code that adds more options, features, customizations, and extensions than Firefox for Android has. So I won't have to switch from that even when the Chromium based browsers potentially all adopt Mv3 fully and drop Mv2, because I've already got a browser on that platform which hopefully will be immune that I'm already using not because of what may happen in the future, but because it's my favorite browser.

Iceraven has an extension available called "Video Background Play Fix" that does what you describe.

It should be noted that Iceraven is not compiled from source, ie. it only compiles the UI/app layer, and not the engine or other components.

Full disclosure: I maintain Mull and Fennec F-Droid.

it's already possible via this Firefox fork https://github.com/fork-maintainers/iceraven-browser/release...

Kiwi Browser and Ungoogled Chromium for Android support chrome extensions on mobile. Firefox supports some extensions. Firefox Nightly (warning, unstable) supports even more. Firefox forks like Iceraven, Fennec, and Mull also support extensions. All of these guys support uBlock Origin.

Thanks, is this it? Just want to make sure I'm getting the correct one and not forked. https://github.com/fork-maintainers/iceraven-browser

Maybe I should also mention Kiwi Browser (Chromium-based) and Iceraven (Firefox-based) specifically for mobile.

Iceraven for Android has a large library of extensions that are really easy to add:
