The future looks grim if that WEI thing comes to practice. But it's my understanding that identifying the 'undesired' browser is done by fingerprinting? In that case you could just fake it by using JShelter, even fake the extensions you're using. Not sure how they're gonna fend Revanced if at all.

Stay strong everybody

What do you think about the YouTubers' answer to this: CuriousityStream?

Is it possible to add a kind of "Terms of Service" to one's GET request? My TOS would then be not to deliver content if they object ad blocking.

There used to be a trick where you can skip ads in youtube app by pretending to report it. i’ve used that to skip the 2x30s unskippable ads over the years, but that was patched patched recently.

So instead of occasionally watching ads while scrolling through comments, I’ve now opt to watch youtube in browser with UblockOrigin. And good luck to google for playing catch-22 with adblockers.

Shame that I used to have youtube in my adblock whitelist
