all of these are scrapers, so they will work unless YouTube gets rid of its web version
Or if Google implements some kind of feature that requires your browser to vouch that it's not gonna play shenanigans with the page.
Nah, nobody would be that crazy.
Fair.
Would this new thing they’re doing to chrome stop it?
That's exactly the sort if thing they could use it for
I think they mean something like widevine a la Netflix. Granted there are bypasses for some levels, but that could be a problem imo, iiuc that's why there aren't any alternate frontends for Netflix or HBO. I think that would also potentially mean issues playing YouTube in chromium or firefox on Linux if they used L1 (not sure what the current state of widevine on Linux is, last time I had Netflix I couldn't watch on Linux and had to use my phone or Chromecast)
Or until they implement a trust model that denies access to uncertified user-agents?
