What's YouTube's end goal? Today they blocked the ability to use the website if you don't allow cookies.

Interesting. Multiple reports though confirming this. Try blocking ALL cookies, not just third party ones. (firefox: go to site, hit super+i, turn off cookies)

I think some cables got sliced somewhere, actually.

>>508667843
>adblocker
this isn't even to deal with adblockers. this is just if you want to navigate the site, without letting youtube store any persistent data on your browser. it's how i've browsed for years now.

I think it’s to prevent tools like yt-dl from working. I know there’s some decentralized alternatives, and then there’s odysee and some crypto ones.

i'd like to think that, and it shouldn't be taken on its own, but it's a critical research resource tool when searching for information or skiptracing etc, especially now that you can search transcripts.

I haven’t used it in a while, but mine isn’t (tbf it’s been over half a year since I updated the container, but it still says it’s latest)

I am running the service tunneled through gluetun, but I used to be able to download whatever. Probably have to look into it more tomorrow

>>508667864
Simply don't have account, that's all you need. I use Brave and see no ads. But since yesterday they forced the playlist for some reason, so it goes to the next video though it doesn't play it automatically.

tldr; the playlist is being forced since yesterday everything else still works like before, no ads, no problems

>Simply don't have account, that's all you need
well, i'm not talking about ads. I'm not logged in, either. (for subscriptions, I just use an RSS reader)

What i'm talking about is this new fucking trend with websites where they refuse to load the very first visit after they try and fail to set a cookie. Now yt decides it won't let me search for anything or even see a channel's video listings if I don't allow a single cookie.

again, i'm talking FIRST party cookies, not THIRD.

Private browsing+VPN= treated like a nigger.
Some sites flat out won't even let you browse them.

why are you blocking cookies instead of just using permanent private mode ?

are you telling me you use cookies on some sites and block them on others ? that's embarassing

>>508671973
>why are you blocking cookies instead of just using permanent private mode ?

because i have other shit to do not on private mode, and because the history stack is actually useful. what else am i going to do with all this RAM than have 87 tabs open for 14 months?

>are you telling me you use cookies on some sites and block them on others ? that's embarassing
why is it embarrassing to be cognizant of which companies are doing the shadiest of shit and which are harmless? imagine if everyone turned off cookies tomorrow, and used local software like a browser extension or userscripts (cough 4chanx) to manage site prefs, and rss readers to manage subscriptions. youtube would have a panic attack at the amount of sheckles lost, and that's before adding ad blockers to the equation.

the only reason to allow cookies is to login or to set preferences. literally everything else is a scam and i don't know why browsers don't come with a "cookies whitelist" by default... no wait, i do. because modern browser makers are corrupt.

if it tells you anything, i compile firefox from source after making modifications

>>508672544

>>508672663

i actually keep my brave browser perma set to block all cookies. why are you so one-track minded?

>turn off suggestions from google
yes
>and history
no? it's my own personal record, why would i turn it off? sites can't read your browser history stack. i'm the kind of user who actually reads the privacy policies and goes through all settings on anything and sets it to exactly what they should be. nothing more, nothing less, and always for my benefit and privacy above all

>and use suggestions from bookmarks dummy
bookmark every site i go to instead of relying on history? pavel, are you a drunk? of course i use local bookmarks.

Based Brave Chad
I also use Brave. I have tried many browsers over the years but when I switched to Brave my internet experience changed in ways I couldn't have imagined. This browser actually gets the job done. Unlike other browsers, Brave also offers the sense of community, belonging and above all, pride. We did something that not many people can do - we downloaded a browser from internet for free and now we are in the elite club. I recommended this browser to all my friends and family and offered to download it for them if they don't know how to

actually, mor, i'm not going to even respond to you anymore. czechs are right to think they're better than you. go back to selling radiators

>>508673445
>OK, why would I block all YT cookies for example
becaue you don't need it. Alphabet/Google/Youtube wants to use your disk to store information and trackers about you and what you watch so it can feed you bullshit recommendations in the algorithm.

The only reason would be if you want to upload a video (i.e. login), or comment (i.e. login). You can manage preferences (like dark mode or autoplay or anything) using a tampermonkey userscript or an private, local extension like Youtube Enhancer, or just use the defaults.

>>508673478

> Playing constant cat and mouse game
So I stopped using YT in the browser and wrote a wrapper for yt-dlp and barely visit the site at all.
Here's a good set of commandline options if you're new to yt-dlp:
> yt-dlp --quiet --progress -f 'bv[height<=360]+ba]' -o "%(channel)s_%(title)s_[%(id)s].%(ext)s" <URL or video ID>
If you want better resolution, replace 360 with 480 720 or 1080.
If you're targeting another video platform, replace the -f with a -F and no argument to get the available formats, and replace the -f argument with one that looks suitable.

First, you're paranoid
Second, do you really think that blocking cookies will prevent glowniggers from tracking you. I block cookies because I don't want them to sell my data to (((vendors))), not that I care because I've almost never seen an ad but it's just my "fuck you" to them

>>508674535
>So I stopped using YT in the browser and wrote a wrapper for yt-dlp and barely visit the site at all.
ooh, i approve of this.

i MOSTLY stopped using it in the browser, except to browse and search.

I use an RSS reader (Feedbro is cool) to subscribe and watch videos via embed including their description, and use yt-dlp when needed for downloading obviously.

>>508674554

i agree, so why are you bloviating?

except if i really wanted to, i do know how to hide from glowniggers... well, the ones you can hide from. no stopping the nsa from shlurping up your TLS packets at their fiber tap-houses and saving them for one day in the future, for traffic correlation, for planting evidence, or for using their encryption algo backdoors.

they're still setting some "necessary" cookies by default. Whether the banner is visible or not (ublock just hides the banner).

go to Settings > privacy and security > site and shield settings > "View permissions and data stored across sites". you should be able to see cookies still set by domain.

my brave has a grand total of ZERO bytes stored.

B) a whole-ass country, access to the med, double the population, and you produce the same amount of value.

>>508667739 (OP)

AND A FINAL REASON TO BLOCK COOKIES:

Cookies are how Youtube detects and manages the __fact__ that you use an adblocker. They can't do anything to a read-only client. They're not gonna store some flag on some server somehwere that they have to maintain. No, they'd much rather YOU store the information on YOUR computer, so your own PC rats you out.

Letting youtube access any other cookies (which might have a CORS exception built into the browser because Google strong-armed them) potentially lets them cross reference your google ads or gstatic or google fonts cookies to nail your gmail account if you unfortunately still have one.

>>508679358

It would have been a good idea, but just like i want to block cookies for youtube, i'd want to block cookies for random instances of Invidious running on some random server in wherever.
Invidious instances are also demanding cookies because of bots.

>>508681705

>>508680364
I came back to give you an RSS hint.
There are RSS feeds hidden in the page source of a youtube channel's home page. When you subscribe to those straight from youtube, the rss feed includes an <embedded> youtube player.

I noticed invidious has a big "RSS" button, and i tried it, and the feed looks the same, and includes a slightly smaller description paragraph, but the problem is the invidious RSS feed doesn't appear to embed the video. So that's probably why you use
>mkv --ytdl to play videos

I just pull the rss url from the channel itself
