Hello Keith,
Perhaps Invidious is what your looking for. It scrapes Youtube and
provides a non-bloated standard HTML web interface for Youtube. This
also has the effect of no ads not even video ads. Sometimes Google
blocks an instance to just move to another one. Here are some working
instances:
"invidious.snopyta.org","invidious.13ad.de","invidious.ggc-project.de","invidious.honeypot.im"
And here is a small userscript I made you can install with GreaseMonkey
to auto-replace any youtube links with an invidious link. It also works
on embeds.
// ==UserScript==
// @name Clientside_Invidious_loadbalance
// @namespace efegtrhrhtj
// @author Tom
// @description Redirects youtube links to Invidious
// @include *://www.youtube.com/*
// @include *://www.youtube-nocookie.com/*
// @version 1.0.0
// @run-at document-start
// ==/UserScript==
var currentUrl = document.location.href;
var urlArray = currentUrl.split("/");
var invidiousInstances =
["invidious.snopyta.org","invidious.13ad.de","invidious.ggc-project.de","invidious.honeypot.im"];
urlArray[2] =
invidiousInstances[Math.floor(Math.random()*invidiousInstances.length)];
var newUrl = urlArray.join("/");
document.location.href = newUrl;
