Youtube isn’t an open source website, right? While Chromium is an open source browser. Google doesn’t really make money directly off browsers anyway more so over their services, they can afford to do open source projects like Android and Chrome os.

Even the scrapping in theory could be restricted. I might be wrong there.

I don’t think it would be illegal unless it’s a Chromebook they lended to you directly to work at the company. If you went to a store and bought it your self it’s perfectly legal to throw ubuntu on that Chromebook.

Here’s where things start to get harder though…

Whether they will fire you… eh idk if I would take that risk. But if anything just ask the people working there for their opinion on it.

It’s optimal to them. You just don’t understand Youtube’s perspective of it yet. And then it’s unoptimal for them when you watch with the adblocker.

That’s a way to look at, but i’l personally still be using Peertube. instead of 3rd party YouTube apps.

in the short term they work, but YouTube can cut those 3rd party apps access at any time for any reason. Use Peertube for the better long term.

Yeah be like me and just use Peertube, I don’t even notice this stuff untill people complain about it haha.
