Getting rid of the Google cookie consent popup

Re:Getting rid of the Google cookie consent popup by dmortin on Friday September 18, 2020 @09:58AM (#24516826)

Lately Youtube too annoys me with some message to sign up if I'm not logged in. Unfortunately, that is not a popup, it is displayed in the video panel, stopping the video from playing.

Look at Invidious: https://github.com/iv-org/invidious.

This kind of BS (along with other UX annoyances with the official YouTube) finally convinced me to run my own instance. No more problems since then.

It is technically a popup, but the video gets paused as long as it’s open.

YouTube has been annoying me much lately (especially when all videos start playing at low quality for the few first seconds) but this really is the last straw. Unfortunately all videos on the internet are there. So all I can do about it is bark here. Woof woof.

Add this to uBlock Origin. To 'My Filters'

I've found two workarounds:

youtube-dl

and changing the URL to read youtube.com/embed/NUMBER

I do that too. For the latter, I use the redirector addon https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/redirector/

I would pay $ to get the ublock filter code to remove this.

If you are ready to pay to remove it, just pay for the YT subscription.

How would that help? It would still nag you to log in each time you cleared cookies.

Do not clear them, you can‘t eat the cake and have it.

There are plenty of reasons why someone would not want to pay for YouTube Premium beyond just money.

Maybe it isn't available in their region, maybe they do not have or want an account or agree with the company's privacy policy, and finally if they clear cookies regularly then an account still won't solve their problem as they'd have to login each time to dismiss the popup.
