Starting today, UK adults will have to prove their age to access porn online. Experts warn that a global wave of age-check laws threatens to chill speech and ultimately harm children and adults alike.

      If you’re on Android you can use yt-dlp in Termux. A little inconvenient but it works.

      Chromium based browsers have an option that lets you view the source code by putting “view-source:” before the URL to see embedded videos

      So

      https://www.website.com/pagewithvideo

      becomes

      view-source:https://www.website.com/pagewithvideo

          No worries! In a lot of sites you’ll find the embeded video or picture in a link in the source code. However, I haven’t figured tried to get this to work on YouTube in mobile browsers so that might not work

      I’d imagine you’d need a browser that has developer tools, which is far less common on mobile. A simpler solution would be to use a separate app that just takes the page URL and downloads the video for you, such as this one: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.junkfood.seal/

      Note: this isn’t free but I use 1DM+. It has it’s own browser that filters out the videos for download. It won’t work with YouTube and a bunch of other websites because Google acts like a little bitch to the developer.
