Current Events > Youtube keeps forcing me out of desktop mode on my phone.

(+) Yeah! (+)

I like to put it in desktop mode so I can listen to rhe videos in a background tab while browsing other sites, or playing my games.

Lately it has been a hassle. It keeps setting me back to the mobile version, seemingly randomly. Sometimes it will happen more than once during a video or maybe I can get through two or three before it happens. I end up having to close the tab and open a new one to finish the video as it won't let me go back to the desktop version.

Anyone else gettibg this problem lately? Using Firefox. No new addons, just UBlock which has been on there for a long time.

Give Newpipe a try. :)
