Cannot watch age-restricted videos due to YouTube forcing users to watch it on their ad-infested video player #565

Script version 5.5

Describe the bug Since the RemoveAdblockthing is using copied links that we see on websites. Google is NOT ALLOWING users to watch age-restricted videos outside of YouTube and forces them to watch on their instead.

Expected behavior Excepting the video to load

Screenshots N/A

Desktop (please complete the following information):

Additional context YouTube has always being punishing their users for months and possibly years now by introducing many worse changes and this is one of them. It's also even worse that on a rare ocassion that copyright holders even force you to watch it on YouTube as well. Good luck fixing this issue.

If you use AdBlock, then just watch YT videos in Incognito Mode until Tamper fixes the issue. I have had no problems. I am not positive if Tamper works in Incognito Mode or not, but I am not seeing the extension icon.

It will just give me an anti ad-block message and force me to sign in. Not worth my time.

I just leave the browser open after I sign in. I am an American, but I am living in Spain right now, so I watch YouTube all the time. So maybe it's a better option for those who constantly use YT.
