My current work-around is https://deturl.com/ https://deturl.com/ and then click 'clean viewer'. Changing a video URL from www.youtube.com to www.pwnyoutube.com

My current work-around is https://deturl.com/ https://deturl.com/ and then click 'clean viewer'. Changing a video URL from www.youtube.com to www.pwnyoutube.com redirects there. Example https://www.pwnyoutube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ https://www.pwnyoutube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ

Simply staying logged out of YouTube is still working for me (with Firefox and uBlock Origin)

Does YouTube show ads in the embedded player? Wouldn't it be easy to make an extension where you can click a button in YouTube when an ad pops up, and it moves the video into an embedded player on a localhost domain? (Or even the extension's local chrome-extension:// domain) I guess YouTube could always block that domain from embedding videos, but if the extension allowed the user to set a custom domain from /etc/hosts, I'm not sure Google could stop it unless they forbid embedding on hosts that resolve to loopback address.

  A lot of videos on Youtube aren't embeddable.

or just create a new bookmark with: javascript:void(location.href='https://deturl.com/play.php?v='+location.href.split('=')[1] https://deturl.com/play.php?v='+location.href.split('=')[1]) when you're on a yt video click it and it will redirect using the id

I use an extension to redirect youtube URLs to an invidious instance (https://yewtu.be/ https://yewtu.be/), it works okay. I'm using this one: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/redirector/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/redirector/ I've set it up to only redirect https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=\ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=\* so I can still use the regular YouTube UI for browsing videos. This invidious instance feels surprisingly snappy, perhaps even faster than the 'native' YouTube player.
