Firstly, I think the point about youtube-dl executing nonfree JS may have been exaggerated. I'll refer you to [0], [1], and [2]. [0]: https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Youtube-dl [1]: https://lists.gnu.org/r/guix-devel/2019-08/msg00073.html [2]: https://lists.nongnu.org/r/gnu-linux-libre/2017-07/msg00000.html Aside from using youtube-dl, I can think of two other ways: 1. using LibreJS + ViewTube, both shipped with GNU IceCat, one can watch youtube videos without running nonfree JS, or 2. using an alternative frontend to youtube like Invidious, you can watch the above video at https://invidio.us/watch?v=WDAl7lGGtSo (the "official" Invidious instance) without running nonfree JS.
