Good news: many workarounds exist! Firefox with specific extensions like uBlock Origin remains a strong contender for background playback and ad-free viewing. Don't let YouTube dictate your experience. #BrowserExtensions 3/6

It's so frustrating the likes of Tesco, B&Q and now Currys showing products from "Approved Third Party Sellers" on their sites. I'm tempted to write an extension to hide these listings, unless anyone else knows of one already available? #BrowserExtensions #onlineshopping
