When going to youtube, I'm seeing a full page cookie consent and I can't proceed to the video without interacting with it. I didn't see that before. I browse in private mode and clear cookies, looks like they want to show that page for every video in that case. Is there a plugin or tool that works around a page like this?

  What is that? The landing page shows videos but I'm not seeing youtube branding anywhere; is that a separate site? Could you elaborate? Self answering: looks like it's an alternative front end to youtube, more details at https://github.com/iv-org/invidious https://github.com/iv-org/invidious .

  Does this work even with YT's new full page nagware? That page only mentions pop-ups.

    Yes, it was updated within a few days to auto click through the full page cookie/GDPR nag. Version history: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/412178-youtube-dismiss-sign-in/versions https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/412178-youtube-dismiss-sig...

      Thanks, but I'm not sure I wanted to auto-click anything. That kind of seems to defeat the purpose of me not consenting.

        I can understand that. Out of interest I disabled the script and tried the Customize option. Clicking Confirm then tries to redirect me via https://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/ads/preferences/cu/optout https://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/ads/preferences/cu/optou...?... which is on both my uBlock and Pihole blocklists. I'll carry on auto-consenting for cookie storage, and auto-deleting them when I close the tab.
