Feature description
To NewPipe's developers
I usually use an (android) browser for just watching youtube videos, & NewPipe itself for (mostly) downloading youtube videos. We all know that youtube has been trying to use various ways (examples = Sign in to confirm your age, Sign in to confirm you're not a bot) to make users "prove" things (examples = you're not a kid, you're not a bot). Until recently, I didn't know that somebody might have made a BROWSER ADDON that helps people bypass that kind of stuff, but I found out that some people have done that.
I know that NewPipe (& similar programs) are essentially limited browsers (limited to using only a few specific sites, that is), but I didn't know if you developers know about this or not, so I'm posting a link (bottom of comment) to one such addon so that you can examine it's code & see if there's anything useful that you can use in NewPipe.
Here is a link to one such addon.
https://github.com/zerodytrash/Simple-YouTube-Age-Restriction-Bypass
Why do you want this feature?
This isn't really a "Feature request" but more of a link to (possibly) useful code to improve an existing feature, but I couldn't think of a different topic tag to use with it. If it should use a different topic tag, hopefully a developer will change that.
