Dunno about Google but Youtube seems to be making some things harder on purpose, like seeing the date of a video or showing search results in chronological order.
Extensions are your friend. I've had to install several just to make YouTube useable!
If I need to go find something to make a service useable thatβs my sign to not use the service.
I'd be interested to know if there's a way to fix this issue with extensions. Do you mean browser extensions? I use a browser sometimes and newpipe sometimes.
Using a browser and ublock origin, I find viewing youtube to work ok except for the occasional age gated video that I can't view without a google account. What's stopped working is search ordering and seeing timestamps. Like old comments might get labelled "2 years ago" with mouse-over no longer showing the actual date/time. It's not shown in the unrendered HTML in any obvious way either.
