does anyone know a good workaround for watching age-restricted videos from youtube without being forced to having a google account? i've tried

  • a few browser extensions (very old ones) who promised to solve it. didn't work.
  • downloading them through classic youtube downloading services. didn't work.
  • switching to nsfwyoutube.com/url . didn't work does anyone know of a working solution right now? thanks a lot in advance!!

I haven't had a problem with cnvmp3. It worked last time that I tried to do it.

I will have to try that one I wrote it down, every time I check they are different, and they used to work better than they do since the enshittening started in earnest in 2021. The search engines don't give you most of them anymore I think is the big problem, I used to use these mp3juices that now are tough and time consuming to get to work and or find stuff.

But I started writing down ones that work so I don't need the search engines as we can't trust them, so thanks I will try that one.
