If you have uBlock Origin installed you can enable URL tracking protection filter list or write your own filters `$removeparam=<tracker param>`.

There are now third party launchers for proton, such as: https://github.com/Open-Wine-Components/umu-launcher

As well as "game libraries": Lutris, Bottles, Heroic

Personally I use this alias to launch an exe via proton:

  alias proton='SteamGameId="${SteamGameId-1000}" PROTON_USE_WINESYNC=1 STEAM_COMPAT_CLIENT_INSTALL_PATH="$PWD" STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH=$HOME/proton /usr/share/steam/compatibilitytools.d/proton-cachyos/proton waitforexitandrun'
  # cd /gamepath
  # proton Game.exe

Not OP but also wrote a similar thing for mpv.

I implemented downloading of youtube thumbnails for one of these scripts.

Here's how I use youtube, usually without opening web frontend at all:

Install mpv and yt-dlp.

Use play-with addon to open youtube or other video links directly in mpv.

Periodically convert youtube subscriptions into OPML using an userscript.

Import OPML into freetube or other RSS reader to check for new videos.

There's also DNS tunneling (dnstt) which is slow but probably harder to block

Little known but you can "subscribe" to YouTube channels without Google account by using RSS https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=${channe...

Good job! However, according to the wiring seems like it wouldn't be able to register something like ctrl+shift+z which is used as redo hotkey almost everywhere.

There's also play-with extension which doesn't require native client. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/play-with/
