MODERATORS
??? 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.
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)-
I log in without issue on Brave and per fingerprint tests on multiple sites I'm randomized.
What version of Firefox is it based on?
Not that I'd ever normally do so (privacy guy) but I just logged into it without issue from both Brave and Fennec on my phone and and both Brave and Firefox on the desktop.
One of the reasons I'm usually not a fan of browser spinoffs is theyre known for doing weird shit, clearly it sees something security wise it doesn't like with LibreWolf. If it was a blanket thing they were doing I would have got that too.
