    No, afaik every alternative frontend that still works with age-restricted videos works by letting you sign in with a Google account (which defeats the point). I’ve tried a few.

    I just make an account for just the age-restricted videos. FreeTube still works for me for non-age restricted videos (if it doesn’t for you, try changing VPN countries a few times—also you need to restart FreeTube every time you change VPN servers, otherwise it doesn’t work from the new server, idk why).

        Nothing, just using the latest FreeTube. Are you up to date? They’ve pushed out a few releases recently to get around new YouTube trickery. Your VPN server might also be blocked; I’ve had luck with Mullvad’s Swedish servers lately.
