First thing that comes to mind is user agent spoofer. Anyway I say let them, it's their company with userbase content and it's based in US. They can do whatever they want with it because terms of service. I can just look at my sexy John Oliver poster on the wall for 30 min and replace their service.

If we all go ahead and spoof our user agents to Chrome, Google will say 'No one uses Firefox'. Use better solutions like Invidious and Piped in combination wit LibRedirect instead.

@netchami @middlemanSI

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Piped is not blocked on my school/work wifi and looks better than invidious.

LibRedirect is Awesome!

I'm glad you like Piped and LibRedirect.

Btw, check out this guide to bypass any website block. It utilizes Cloudflare to create a proxy, it works really well, I love this solution.
