    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.”
