    Can’t watch YouTube.

    How do black and white laser printers print yellow dots if there’s no yellow toner?

      You not using newpipe/peertube etc?

      Not trying to force you to do something you don’t believe in your don’t want to use, but generally I just type the title in and video shows up. Links used to copy paste and work but havent for me.

      Only downside is if you switch in and out of PiP mode, or rewatch a unfinished video 12 minutes in YouTube will ban your IP for like 6hrs. Which is trivial with a VPN. I think switching from full video to pop out mode essentially refreshes the video load, and starting a view mid way through must be suspicious or bot like.

        NewPipe doesn’t work. It asks me to login to google.

        I do use PeerTube.
