Brave plays them in the background without ads. I don’t ever cast youtube, no philosophical reason, I just don’t feel the need to.
I use Amazon music for music, just because I’m too lazy to move services.
I refuse to contribute to Google in any way, shape, or form. But I understand your choice, and I know how hypocritical this sounds after I just said I have Amazon music. But the world is highly imperfect and so am I.

I’m not the person you asked, and I don’t care if you buy YT premium, but Firefox mobile can play background videos, the only finicky thing is it pauses when you turn your screen off, but you can press play on your lockscreen to start it again.
I use smarttube next on my television.
For music, I personally do Qobuz because they pay marginally better than Spotify (albeit still not a ton.)

If you haven’t, check out Grayjay for YT on mobile.
