How to Bypass YouTube Age Restriction in Chrome and Firefox

This is a great question from one of my readers when he emailed me to know how to bypass YouTube age restriction. You all know that, YouTube is the best source of watching videos online. According to YouTube’s policy, it does not allow users to upload adult content to YouTube channel. Yet, there are some videos that are useful only to adults and for those videos YouTube places a content warning message which asks users for confirming their age. Google collects age-related information from account details from a signed-in user. But, those who watch videos without signing-in, get the “Sign in to confirm your age” message.

It is a lengthy way to sign in to YouTube who does not have any Google account. So, such users need to get rid of YouTube age restriction whenever they want to see such videos.

There are several methods for YouTube video age bypass for not sign in users. Let’s see how to watch age restricted YouTube videos.

Method #1: How to Bypass Age Restricted YouTube Videos

1. Open a YouTube video that shows content warning message.
2. Suppose the URL of the YouTube video that shows the age restriction is

   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6LZM3_wp2ps

3. To bypass age restriction from a YouTube video, remove watch? from the video URL, then replace it with /.
4. Replace = with / symbol.
5. The modified URL looks similar to this URL:

   https://www.youtube.com/v/6LZM3_wp2ps

6. Now, you can watch the video directly bypassing age restriction content warning and no sign in is required for watching the video.
7. You can use this URL too.

   https://www.youtube.com/embed/6LZM3_wp2ps

8. Alternatively, use nsfw as a prefix to the actual YouTube URL.
9. You can view the YouTube video without any content warning message when you visit this URL:

   nsfwyoutube.com/watch?v=6LZM3_wp2ps

The above method shows you how to bypass age restriction content warning using URL modification technique.

Method #2: Use Extension to Bypass YouTube Age Restriction Content Warning
