uBlock Origin – Ad Blocker
YouTube is pretty infested when it comes to advertising. Don't get us wrong, we give every creator their income from ads.
But with the big music companies, we also feel ridiculous when there are two ads before each video that we can't skip.

A VPN - watch videos from all over the world
Browser extensions like ProxFlow no longer work as smoothly as they used to. That’s why we recommend you get a real VPN right away.
Which one you take is up to you, but the really good ones usually cost money. Our recommendation is NordVPN. Pretty much any VPN can bypass a YouTube country block. You just have to find the country where your video is not blocked.
Be aware that your internet speed with a proxy in another country is not as fast as you are used to.
Bypass age restriction with YouTube Age Restrictor Bypass
In order to view age-restricted videos on YouTube, you actually need to have an account that says you're 18 years old.
However, many people simply don't want to create an account with a website owned by Google. (for good reason)
In this case, there is the "Age Restriction Bypass" for YouTube in the Chrome Web Store. This allows you to watch YouTube videos that have been blocked for those under 18s by YouTube or by the creator themselves.
