This is generally sad.

People hate a service, but they depend on it so much they create whole codebases to cope with it.

Depending on things we hate is a tragedy.

How about just admitting the things you hate? Then you can just drop it and live a happier life.

Unless you are of course somehow required/forced to use X, then I'm all for projects like these.

Somewhat related: more than half of my Firefox extensions are to fix YouTube (no shorts, no autoplay in playlists, more videos on the home page, no AI dubs or title translation (plus sponsorblock)). I don't hate it but I hate its progressive enshittification.

Though that's quite different from X; while the issues with YouTube are mostly plain old enshittification, the issues I have with X are more political (thus, I do hate it).

Which ones do you use?

>>Dansvi+Zc
I use the following:

* No autoplay on playlists: https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/no-playlist-auto...

* No translations and AI dubs: https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/youtube-no-trans...

* No YouTube shorts: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/hide-youtube-...

* More videos on the home page / smaller thumbnails: https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/youtube-tweaks/ (to be fair, it could probably replace the "No YT shorts" one)

Not sure how safe those are, but since they only require access to data for youtube domains I assume if there was a leak it would not be too bad.
