I recently saw a "adblockers aren't allowed on youtube" gate from Firefox. I recommend using Minitube on Linux desktop now. Plus youtube-dl and NewPipe.

youtube-dl is broken now and barely updated for some byzantine reasons, no?

yt-dlp is supposed to be the new hotness, though I've yet to try it. https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/

I use yt-dlp to download all my music now - it works. Really well. Probably because it pretends to be an Android client, and those are perpetually out of date. (Think of the shitty smart TVs!)

I've been using it as a drop-in replacement for YouTube-dl and it's been great.

True. yt-dlp is symlinked to youtube-dl on my system and I forget that sometimes!
