I'm using flawlessly the Simple YouTube Age Restriction Bypass ver. 2.4.6 UserScript (at Greasemonkey) by zerodytrash.
I've just tried the Age Restriction Bypass for YouTube™ ver. 2.4..6 extension (at AMO) by zerody.
I assume developer is the same person.

The extension lacks options available with the userscript.

1-

  • The UserScript includes the option;
    const ENABLE_UNLOCK_CONFIRMATION_EMBED = true;
    [Note] When set to true (default), strangely I am not asked to confirm the unlock process on YouTube age restricted videos and the video is not handled by the script;
    When set to false, embedded YouTube age restricted videos are handled by the script;
  • The extension does not include this option hence is unable, here, to handle embedded videos.

2-

The UserScript (handled here with ViolentMonkey) allows the user to include other YouTube watch urls such as https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/:
// @match https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/*

Combined (1) and (2) UserScript advantages allow for instance to have https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/7t0SqerlBA0 handled by the script, whilst this impossible with the extension...

No need to say how much the script is appreciated.
This post to suggest that the extension include the script options in order to allow an as fine-tuning.

Whatever, thanks for both even if, personally, I stick to the script).

One last word for uBlock Origin users who may need to add to their My Rules (depending on their uBO settings):

youtube.com phx.4everproxy.com * noop
youtube.com youtube-proxy.zerody.one * noop

and, such as in my case:

youtube-nocookie.com phx.4everproxy.com * noop
youtube-nocookie.com youtube-proxy.zerody.one * noop

That's about it :=)

hi, thanks for pointing that out! Yes, the userscript is definitely better if you want to extend or customize it. The extension is more intended for people who have no knowledge in this field. I will check the strange behavior with ENABLE_UNLOCK_CONFIRMATION_EMBED. Possibly there is a logic error. The integration of www.youtube-nocookie.com makes totally sense! Never thought about that.

The extension has now a settings page!
