YouTube now stops playing in the background if I turn off the screen. We're reaching hyper-orwellian levels of bullshit.

Bullshit

>>106303956
are you able to tell if you're getting videos directly from google or from your isp's youtube server?

>>106303823
i was wondering, thank you anon

>>106303740 (OP)
works on my brave browser

>>106303740 (OP)
I keep getting the same error if I use anything above 480p and the video keeps buffering and bugging out.

It just started doing this to me like 30 min ago, good to know I'm not the only one lol.

YOUTUBE IS RETALIATING because of our adblockers. What do now?

>>106304311
block more ads, double down.

>>106303925
>Bullshit
They already banned Firefox users from using Google (at least they have banned exclusively firefox browsers on my IP)

>>106304320
I am letting the 4chins ads on because they are obscure.

and this: https://protonvpn.com/

Problem solved :)

>>106303922
Exactly. If you're obsessed with this stupid garbage, you aren't even white.

>>106303823
Good. I hope it stays down. YouTube and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.

>>106304417
Proof?

>>106304417
yesterday in new delhi
>saar u neeed to bann the bots they have firefsocks in the usar ajent
>yes sar

>>106304425
Is this a regional thing?

>>106304669
At least for me, trying to search anything on google with a firefox browser leads to this. Chromium based browsers are completely unaffected.

>>106304740
Are you sure you're not behind a terrorist shithole vpn? I get that everywhere irrespective of browser.

you realize you can use pip to get around that (actual pip, not the youtube provided miniplayer)

>>106304774
Nope, just a residential connection. Like I said, using any Chromium browser, Brave, Chromium (Ungoogled or Vanilla flavor), Edge, it doesn't matter, doesn't result in Google forcing me into a recaptcha every single search. However, using any Firefox browser, whether it be Firefox or Librewolf, results in a recaptcha every single search. Seems clear to me what the main discriminatory factor is.

>>106304794
server side fucking faggot (yt-dlp didn't work)
anyway it's back now

>>106304830
>yt-dlp
Are you a fucking computer illiterate zoomer?

It seems to be alright now. Videos are playing for me again.

>>106304805
cgnat?

>>106304861
No, just a normal IP. It's not the only discrimination anyways, watching/downloading too many Youtube videos with a non-kosher client (Firefox, yt-dlp, NewPipe, etc) also leads to your IP getting banned for being a "bot". Google in the last year or so has significantly increased their anti-competitive practices against their competitors. Give them enough time and they will start banning all browsers that don't use exclusively their ZK digital ID as a fingerprint, you are living in the last years of the free internet.
