I don’t have a google account
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?
Far as I know, in my own usage, you can’t bypass the age restriction currently. Maybe I’m using it wrong?
It could be that Youtube also broke how it used to work, and it doesn’t work anymore. I was just hoping maybe it did, for OP’s sake.
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
I know of this userscrpit, worked fine for me the last time i came across something age restricted

“by default” so there’s an option to disable?

Isnt this possible with Grayjay, or do you still need an account?
It’s possible. You have to tick a setting.
No. Make a dummy account
Don’t they require a phone number now?
Bunch of services out there offering Free SMS Numbers for 2FA. You might also try searching “Burner SMS”, but anyways, there are options.
Do you have a link?
For one I trust? Never actually used one, sorry. I’ve used faxburner, for faxing, without issue, but it doesn’t look like they offer SMS.
I use BravePipe on android. No account needed. Also can include Bitchute and Rumble if you desire.
