Description

PROBLEM:
I'm always frustrated when using my chrome cast with the YouTube app having ads. I'd love to have it so I can cast directly from my smartphone via the Firefox browser app which has a bunch of ad blockers.

SOLUTION:

Would love to add the casting ability many sites have to cast the video I'm watching on the big screen

ALTERNATIVES:

I can't think of any other than not using my TV.

RELEVANCE / SCOPE:

I think this would be helpful for everyone that has a chromecast and doesn't want ads.

"SIDE EFFECTS":

Maybe the screen would be a bit cluttered with another icon, but maybe in the settings?

CONTEXT:
//
Thank you!

Research direction

The issue names no file, test, or entry point; begin by mapping how this JavaScript extension handles video controls and browser integrations, then clarify Chromecast support and scope. Done would require an agreed casting flow for videos viewed through the extension, including UI placement and compatibility.
