Casting from the web doesn’t work (on iOS at least) but that’s all I can think of.
replyChromecast from desktop chromium works, so there's no reason they couldn't make the universal turing machine in my pocket do the same.
replyDesktop Chromium is Chrome. iOS Chrome is just Safari with a different interface.
replyApple doesn't let other browsers use their own engine on iOS (unless you are located in the EU).

replyuhh wow. How did Microsoft face antitrust lawsuits for merely bundling IE when Apple is literally forcing their browser?
i've often wondered how Apple gets away with things like this, I guess its because they never gained the marketshare that Microsoft had
replyDue to EU regulation, you can use a different browser engine in the EU (and I think Japan too), but thus far none have been developed (it's too much work to maintain two versions of the browser).
replyAirPlay should work for every native video element, or do you mean something like chromecast?
replyYouTube obfuscates the native video by removing the controls.
replyVinegar is a Safari extension that fixes that on iOS and macOS. May exist for other browsers as well.
uninstall the app. my life is much better since i uninstalled most apps and I just use the web pages these days. To take ONE benefit from not using the youtube app, and instead using a browser: I can open more than one video at once.
reply> I hate the video links try to open in the app if you're not careful!
replyUninstall (disable) the app, YouTube on Firefox mobile is fine.
NewPipe mostly works except when Google breaks it.
replyThere's nothing sinister there. Google is merely trying to break their own app in new user hostile ways and everything else breaking is collateral damage. :)
replyApps are also more difficult to intercept and modify on most devices. Companies like them because it means you can't use ad blockers or other privacy tools. It's also why they flip out so outrageously when Apple adds privacy tools at the operating system level, because tracking and abuse are most of the reason why apps are useful to them in the first place.
