Makes sense for a corpo like Google, ditch it and use Odysee or use another client like FreeTube or Piped. Piped doesn’t like my connecting via Tor but’s that’s alright I guess.
Watching YouTube via tor is kinds dick move lol
True, contribute! I usually just use MullvadVPN+Mullvad Browser for that. I always recommend running a Tor node if you use Tor at all, but eh.
