It's perfect in that there's no way for them to differentiate from normal browser traffic. This is adversarial interoperability which is exactly how we're supposed to deal with corporations and their idiotic "terms". Nobody is forced to accept their "take it or leave it" BS. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2019/10/adversarial-interopera... If it's important enough, someone somewhere will care enough to fix it when it i…
I would be very curious to know how many engineers inside google have as their sole responsibility to fight programs like YouTube-dl and so on. I am willing to bet it’s a whole division.
They can fight all they want. In the end it doesn't matter how many engineers they throw at the problem. The only way they can win is for the world to descend ever deeper into DRM tyranny. Google must literally own your computer in order to prevent you from copying YouTube videos. It has to come pwned straight off the factory so that Google can literally dictate that you the user are prohibited from running certain bad programs that are known to hurt their bottom line.
I realize we're not too far off from that dystopia but it's still a battle that deserves to be fought for the principle of it.

#93It sucks that all this talk about scraping HTML will only push Reddit to deprecate Old Reddit even faster so users are forced to use a Javascript-heavy experience, complete with random HTML IDs. What then?
Old Dot Reddit is already so deprecated I'm astounded anybody even knows about it anymore. So what the heck are you talking about? It's pretty much gone so what's your go-to now that it's been a pretty garbage site to browse for more than a year? If it’s just inertia then Jesus. And now it's in it's just automatically submitting people's comments I never clicked enter before it just sent that yikes what the heck man you're the handle on your damn Tech the f** is going on.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/redirector/ that is. I use the same add-on for nitter, teddit and invidious.
You and I are the same. :) Except that I have one more, for Wikipedia, to redirect to ?useskin=vector.

The problem with redirectors is that it first has to go to the site you want to avoid and then it gets redirected. I always wanted something that would re-write pages as they are displayed and I couldn't find anything so I wrote my own greasemonkey script that gives me all of my searxng/teddit/piped/rimgo/wikiless/quetre/libremdb/proxitok/neuters/scribe/. It also removes most utm trackers and referral codes from urls…
May I see it?
It's pretty rough, but it should work out of the box from this https://gist.github.com/bradmurray/61c824c0c3d5eb5e30b7bdfda...
