Considering Youtube's latest behavior I'm almost certain this is intentional.

They've been trying to block adblockers, disabled the ability of youtubers to chose how ads are displayed, increased premium subscription prices, etc. They are pushing hard to make money.

Money now, gonna get way worse very soon.

Wait until you have to verify your computer's entire stack through your browser. The browser will have to be signed, your OS will enforce that signature, all tied nicely in a bow with your computer's Trusted Platform Module.

Any link in the chain that looks a little off (aka. too freedom-y) will get denied as fast as you press enter on your address bar.

"But I'm going to run some privacy-focused fork!"

Nope, Billy, but that won't happen. Your bank, your school, your work, your social media: once these features are available, they'll just stop accepting traffic from unsigned browsers, and they won't hand out certificates unless you hold water for what they care about. "Sorry, you have to use a supported browser on a supported OS on a supported hardware system to use this site."

They forced HTTP3 HTTP 2 on the industry just to track people more. A whole foundational protocol just to track you. Of course they would purposely torpedo ad blockers and pretend it was an accident.

One of the little unnoticed differences in HTTP3 HTTP 2 (aka SPDY) is now there is one connection to google-analytics that's now shared across all domains and it stays open for an hour instead of 4 minutes.

Google's Doubleclick swears that they would never (how dare you suggest it) track you based on that TCP connection. Riiight. How convenient that HTTP2 is more complicated yet no faster and just happens to give Google a new session super-cookie.

edit: late comment, I got my versions off by one ^_^
