    In my personal experience this is blatantly untrue, because now I can’t even log into my Google/YouTube account on Librewolf anymore. I get a prompt saying “this browser may be insecure” and requesting that I use Chrome instead. This is exactly what the Web Environment Integrity API was intended for — maybe they did decide to shelve it for general use, but Google is still absolutely trying to push this bullshit for their own services.

    I never had this issue for the past 2 years I’ve used Librewolf until, coincidentally, Google “decided” to “sunset” its browser DRM.

      ??? No problems with Vivaldi (Chromium) nor with Midori (Gecko), Vivaldi with the own ad/tracker blocker + iFrame script installed as extension, Midory with uBO + Greasymonkey with the iFrame script. in both YT 100% clean of ads and nags.

      Anyway i use more and more alternatives to YT, front-ends and desktop clients, which offer me videos in better quality, faster and without garbage and tracking.

      Front-ends

      Desktop

      If necessary, there are also other solutions.

        I have Librewolf with uBO and CanvasBlocker whitelisted for very specific websites. It required me both disabling uBO and allowing *.google.com in CanvasBlocker’s whitelist for my browser to suddenly be “secure” again.

        In other words… “we won’t let you sign in unless you enable your trackers on your browser.”

          No such problems here in Midori, with uBO and Tampermonkey with the script, no tracking, no ads. Nothing whitelisted in YT, i even use 2 extensins more to block clickbaits in YT (Most Videos have clickbaits, where the thumbnails of the videos have nothing to do with the content) and one to avoid that YT paused the videos or playlists after a certain time (YouTube NonStop)-
