Limited to a selection of pre-approved extensions (Ublock Origin is included in said list); however, you can get around this by using Firefox Nightly and enabling developer settings, which allows you to add a custom list of extensions, which can include any extension for desktop Firefox, including things like SponsorBlock.

Firefox on Android allows extensions*. So Firefox + Ublock Origin + YouTube mobile site.

This! Given the premiss that you still use YouTube and not invidious or piped, there's no need to have another app on your cellphone (unless you really like it, and enjoy the app customization that revanced allows to for instance).
Mull + uBlock Origin+ SponsorBlock + script in uBlock to hide Shorts, I feel you don't need anything else :)
You can use the Chromecast with Revanced at least, but you'll need to use the TV code found in the settings of the Chromecast's YouTube app and you will still get ads
What version of the YouTube app is yours based on and if you used revanced manager, which patches did you apply? Mine recently stopped playing past 1:09 on any video, using revanced manager 1.8.0 to patch youtube APK 18.19.35 with client spoof, hide shorts, ads, sponsorblock, dislike, spoof app version, and hide video ads among other minor tweaks.
I figured revanced was just kill finally so I started using newpipe (trying to get used to the UI but if i can keep patching YT apk I'll probably keep doing that)
You need to use version 18.23.35 or newer basically the newest supported version when you get to the patch selection just tap the default option and patch it then everything should work fine.
Update your manager and it'll tell you what version of YouTube apk you should download. Or go to mobilism.me and download a precompiled version. It works fine.
I have the same problem with vids not loading but just decided to load the vids into newpipe or pipepipe to watch them. A convoluted solution to an issue we shouldn't have, but it works.
