But nonetheless, the vast majority of YouTubers visit the site to listen to music. However, sometimes videos do not work in some parts of the world due to copyright laws. This can lead to errors that do not let you view those videos. Have you ever encountered the YouTube error which tells you that a certain video is not allowed in your country due to some copyright rules? If so, then you know how aggravating that can be. But luckily for us, there is a solution to this problem. An extension, available for both Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome that allows you view those restricted videos.
Use ProxTube to access restricted YouTube videos
The tool is called ProxTube and it is a extension, available for download for free. For Mozilla Firefox users, the add-on is available on the web store for install. Although in the Google Chrome browser, you are not allowed to install extensions from third-party websites, you can still install this extension using this method:
Download ProxTube for Chrome. Open Google Chrome and navigate to “Options -> Tools -> Extensions”. When the Extensions page opens, drag and drop the “.crx” file in the list.
This is how simple it is. Now you can enjoy any video on YouTube without any restrictions thanks to this tool developed by Malte, a 17-year-old student from Germany who was really annoyed by those copyright restrictions. Thank you for this gift, Malte. May you have a long career and build us more tools like ProxTube!
