I don’t have a google account
Yes. I use a FireFox extension called ViolentMonkey that allows you to install scripts.
There is a script called Simple YouTube Age Restriction Bypass: https://github.com/zerodytrash/Simple-YouTube-Age-Restriction-Bypass?tab=readme-ov-file
Install the script in Violent Monkey and you should be all set to watch age restricted videos in Firefox without signing in.
I haven’t used yt-dlp in a hot minute, but it used to have a simple bypass for age-restricted videos that didn’t need browser cookies. Anyone know if that still works?
yt-dlp is still alive, well and actively developed. It can now target abunch of different platforms.
Sure, but what about the age-restriction bypass, specifically?
Far as I know, in my own usage, you can’t bypass the age restriction currently. Maybe I’m using it wrong?
You cannot. And you also now often get blocked when using a VPN, and have to use a flag to use cookies to get past it.
What do you mean by using a flag? I’d like to level up my VPN game
You need an account. There is no bypass or workaround at this moment.
Isnt this possible with Grayjay, or do you still need an account?
I know of this userscrpit, worked fine for me the last time i came across something age restricted

No. Make a dummy account
Don’t they require a phone number now?
