Currently Invidious won’t help and many other frontend (say Materialious) fails either. So is there still any way to access youtube videos (no matter frontend or download videos)?
LibreDirect lists a number of frontends that may be helpful. visit https://libredirect.github.io/ for detailed information.
I’m not sure I understand the problem and why you need an alternative front end. I have no difficulty accessing https://youtube.com (without logging in) and watching YT videos with Tor Browser. When navigating to a specific video URL (e.g via link) I have to solve a captcha, but that’s the only barrier. Can you provide an example of a video you can’t access?
But most of the time, I face “sign in to confirm you are not robot”.
It is rare to visit youtube successfully without logging in.
Ah yes, you are quite right. The solution is just to select a New Tor circuit for the site (hamburger menu, instructions here). When the page refreshes you shouldn’t get the “Sign in to confirm you’re not robot” message. I use the keyboard shortcut and it’s become so automatic I had forgotten I do it! Sometimes you need to change circuit more than once, but I’ve never encountered a situation where doing so doesn’t work.
A torture to refresh relays. But it really helps. I once thought that google just want to block people who use tor.
