## How it works

When the video is detected as restricted, the bypass will retrieve the video and all other information from YouTube's unrestricted ``/youtubei/v1/player`` endpoint. As a fallback (for some non-embeddable videos) an open source <a href="https://github.com/zerodytrash/Simple-YouTube-Age-Restriction-Bypass/tree/main/account-proxy">Account Proxy Server</a> is used. This allows you to watch age-restricted videos without verification and the need to be signed in.

All videos will be unlocked automatically.

## Installation
1. Install a userscript manager of your choice:<br>

&bull; [Tampermonkey](https://www.tampermonkey.net)<br>
&bull; [Violentmonkey](https://violentmonkey.github.io/get-it)<br>

## Usage
No further actions are necessary. All age restricted videos are automatically unlocked.

## Mobile Device Compatibility
This script also works with the mobile YouTube website (m.youtube.com). But currently only [Kiwi Browser for Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kiwibrowser.browser) and [Firefox Nightly for Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mozilla.fenix) supports extensions. In Kiwi Browser you can simply visit the Chrome Web Store to install [Tampermonkey](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tampermonkey/dhdgffkkebhmkfjojejmpbldmpobfkfo) and install the script.
Using [NewPipe](https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe) for Android is probably easier. But currently (2021-07-30) age-restricted videos do not seem to work in NewPipe. An update will hopefully be released soon.

## Development
We use [Rollup](https://rollupjs.org) with [Babel](https://github.com/babel/babel) to transpile into a single userscript file and maintain support for older browsers.
