Simple YouTube Age Restriction Bypass

Getting started | Development | Contributors



A very simple to use userscript to bypass YouTube's age verification.

---

How it works

When a YouTube video is detected as age-restricted, this userscript will retrieve the video and all other information from YouTube's unrestricted /youtubei/v1/player endpoint. As a fallback (for some non-embeddable videos) an open source Account Proxy Server is used. This allows you to watch all types of age-restricted videos on YouTube and YouTube Music without age verification and without the need to be signed in.

All videos will be unlocked automatically!

Getting started

Installation

You have two options depending on the browser you use. You can install the script as a Userscript in all popular browsers or as a Browser Extension in some supported browsers listed below.

Browser Extension

The Age Restriction Bypass for Youtube™ extension is currently available for Firefox and Edge.

If you use another browser (e.g. Google Chrome), install the Userscript below.

Userscript

1. Install a Userscript Manager of your choice. We recommend Tampermonkey.

   • Tampermonkey for Chrome
     
   • Tampermonkey for Firefox
     
   • Tampermonkey for Opera
     
   • Tampermonkey for Edge
     
   • Userscripts for Safari (MacOS/iOS/iPadOS)

Usage

No further actions are necessary. All age restricted videos are automatically unlocked. Make sure you reload YouTube after installation.

Compatibility

Browser support

The following browsers are supported:

Chrome Userscript

Edge Extension

Firefox Extension

Safari Userscript

Opera Userscript

Brave Userscript

And many more!

Android

Simple YouTube Age Restriction Bypass works on Android with the browser version of YouTube m.youtube.com in combination with the Userscript.

Only a few browsers such as Firefox and Kiwi Browser currently support extensions. Tampermonkey can be installed there.

Bromite supports userscripts natively. The script can be installed via Settings > User Scripts.

iOS/iPadOS

Simple YouTube Age Restriction Bypass also works on iOS/iPadOS Safari with the browser version of YouTube m.youtube.com in combination with the Userscript.

You need to install the free extension Userscripts for Safari from the AppStore to install the Userscript.

Development

Prerequisites

• Git
• Node.js with NPM

Building

We use Rollup with Babel to transpile into a single userscript file and maintain support for older browsers.

1. Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/zerodytrash/Simple-YouTube-Age-Restriction-Bypass.git

2. Install Dependencies

Run this command at the root folder to install the required dependencies:

npm install

3. Run Build Script

npm run build

The userscript Simple-YouTube-Age-Restriction-Bypass.js should now be located in the dist folder.
