I actually currently run youtube out of firefox in mobile and web, and its pretty much amazing in both and doesn't feel janky.

The upside of that is that if you add the correct script to the ad blocker extension, you'll never see a youtube reel for the rest of your life, which HEAVILY improves the experience on youtube.
