From f21c063ea3b8050541e5c8f4430378dfec85f4a5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pierre Ynard Date: Sat, 3 Apr 2021 12:02:34 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] youtube.lua: disable cookies if redirected to consent page In the past few days, YouTube has started redirecting requests for video pages to a cookie consent and preference prompt, on a whole separate page and domain; which prevents playback. We are not interested in YouTube cookies, nor in consenting to them on behalf of our users, so this just retries with cookies disabled. YouTube gets the hint and simply redirects back to the original video page.
