    What happens when the Google API decides it can’t identify you, or comes across an offensive video (like world news, or worse, a gay person), and then tells you to sign in?

    I don’t think Tubular (a NewPipe fork) has the option to use a proxy like Invidious, which may be a workaround…

      Ive never had an issue with the google api trying to identify me when using pipepipe or libretube. You can also use microg which allows you to sign in and spoofs it like a google account.

        I believe it’s one or the other: If you don’t have issues playing videos, then you’ve been identified to some degree…

          Well dont see how considering I dont log in with an account and Im behind a vpn and I use it on GrapheneOS. Either way its one of the best ways to use YouTube without an account and see no ads.
