        So what you’re saying is that YouTube will become incompatible with firefox?

          Not hard to disguise the browser you’re using. I use Mullvad (Firefox fork) and it will show up as Chrome on the host side.

        For a while, it was getting blocked regularly and a new update would come out that fixed it. Repeat.

          Let’s be honest, they never took it seriously at all.

          They could push a patch for encrypted streams to chrome and even firefox, basically you need a google account to watch videos, wouldn’t be optimal but they could get away with it.

            Hulu with ads displays no ads when watching in a browser with uBlock origin. I don’t know if this is down to lazy design by Hulu or not but it’s another data point
