In my recent attempts to bring up Youtube videos (music or otherwise), I’m now receiving (i.e., within the last quarter of December, 2020 to the present!) the ensuing unexpected, and never-before-seen popup message… and, which– virtually!– ends my use of Youtube!… The Tor Browser program not only gives you easy access to these anonymous connections, it also keeps a close watch over cookies, scripts, ads and anything else that might be trying to track you.I’m using the latest version of Tor and of Firefox, and your suggested, Uncheck â€œEnable picture-in-picture video controlsâ€, is nowhere to be found!… though, it once was visible to me (months ago!)!… in addition, when I deployed the “dropper tool” via uBlock Origin, the icon of this unwanted Tor-FF addition could not receive the “cross-hair hatch”! And, of course, removing the video with the “dropper” isn’t an option!īut… then… that’s when I was able to receive Youtube videos!… since the end of December I have been receiving the following (which, incidentally, coincided with the disappearance of the cited caption under Options > General!… which leads me to believe, that I’ve been targeted by someone at Tor/ YT!)!… Where it differs from a VPN is that it’s decentralised and manned by volunteers - you’re not trusting one VPN company with your connection and data. In a similar way to a VPN, Tor doesn’t connect you to websites directly, but via a series of other servers and encrypted connections. The Tor Browser has always been based on Firefox, but is now right up to date with the modern look and code.įor the completely uninitiated, the Tor Browser is the key software program put out by the Tor Project, which manages a network of nodes that essentially provide anonymity on the web. More specifically, the Tor Browser has been updated to include the features pushed out in Firefox Quantum, which include a refreshed interface called Photon UI, and a speedier page rendering engine.

There are now more reasons than ever to make Tor your daily browser of choice. Chrome wasn’t the only browser to get a visual overhaul this week, because the privacy-focused Tor Browser was also given a new lick of paint, as well as a host of under-the-hood upgrades, and refinements to make it easier to use for newcomers.
