a more permanent solution would be using an alternative front end like piped. there are a lot of public instances available
But it's difficult to trust Piped and other 3rd parties with your login credentials. Especially for people who make a living on YouTube. Even if they themselves might be trustworthy, they can't be perfectly secure, so it becomes added vulnerability.
wait what? piped doesn't use your login in any way tho? you manually import subscriptions from Google checkout and you create a piped specific login for syncing that across devices. at no point will piped ever ask for your Google account
Ah, cool then.
