I use Tor Browser to find videos and download to watch with yt-dlp. I used to use Freetube app which was also good.

How do you get past the Google cookie gate keeping page on yt-dlp?

I’ve not seen that issue for maybe a year. I use the Parabolic flatpak app which uses yt-dlp under the hood. Sometimes Google has the upper hand for a week or two, but then the app catches up.
