Do any of these YouTube extensions retrieve videos in a way which is unassociated with my IP? I’d really rather not get my google account banned, or my searches rate limited. These aren’t happening now, but I believe they will in the future to the point where I actively avoid using any tooling from my home connection, and vps’ seem to be blocked by YouTube already.

If you have a dynamic IP at home, run it in your homelab and access it through Tailscale everywhere. I highly doubt YouTube will block the whole IP block for home users.

That doesn’t solve the issue of my google search traffic and fingerprint from coming from the same source as yt-dlp.

VPNs are not blocked by YouTube.

Neither is viewing YouTube using Tor Browser.
