I was trying to airplay a video to my tv, just like I did for hours last night, and YouTube kept demanding that I login to prove I’m not a bot. So I figured I would make a fake login on Proton. That worked fine, but then it wants to text me for verification and obviously I do not want to give them my number, but it’s rejecting every number I try from the temp number sites.
I am in Safari for iPad in a private window, using vinegar.
Ok, so how do I beat it?
Config an RSS reader for the channels you follow on youtube. Watch the videos locally after downloading them. That’s what I do.
Use SmartTube on Android TV and Fire TV. Cast from Brave browser on Apple TV or Roku.
I don’t trust Brave, honestly
Me either, but it is effective at blocking YouTube ads on iOS for free 🤷🏼♂️
There are other paid options, and other side loading options as well. But Brave is easy and it works. I only use it for youtube.com on my iPad, so I’m personally fine with allowance for that.
Fair point. I respect your arguments. What are the actual benefits of using Brave in this scenario?
