Yes. I use a FireFox extension called ViolentMonkey that allows you to install scripts.
There is a script called Simple YouTube Age Restriction Bypass: https://github.com/zerodytrash/Simple-YouTube-Age-Restriction-Bypass?tab=readme-ov-file
Install the script in Violent Monkey and you should be all set to watch age restricted videos in Firefox without signing in.
Thanks
I haven't used yt-dlp in a hot minute, but it used to have a simple bypass for age-restricted videos that didn't need browser cookies. Anyone know if that still works?
yt-dlp is still alive, well and actively developed. It can now target abunch of different platforms.
Sure, but what about the age-restriction bypass, specifically?
I know of this userscrpit, worked fine for me the last time i came across something age restricted
thanks
Isnt this possible with Grayjay, or do you still need an account?
It's possible. You have to tick a setting.
You need an account. There is no bypass or workaround at this moment.
you seem confident, but it seems this is not true
My bad. I was wrong.
np, I learned this today too. we are truly very lucky to have these alternative services and the guys behind them
Long ago i was building a front-end for YouTube. Back then it was just a parameter to the video in the embedded iframe. So my front-end was playing all videos without any account or being logged in.
Since the plugin works, I guess it just toggles that parameter too. Not sure why Google doesnt require an actual login but they dont (or didnt).
I use BravePipe on android. No account needed. Also can include Bitchute and Rumble if you desire.
