You Old Enough is an experimental Firefox addon to bypass YouTube age verification. Often, YouTube videos flagged as inappropriate require age verification, by logging in to your Google/YouTube account. Instead of wasting time with the login, You Old Enough lets you skip the age verification page and start watching YouTube videos.
It checks if page you have opened has YouTube’s age verification. If it does, the extension gets the video ID (every YouTube video has a unique video ID) of the video and opens it in a popup. You do not have to login to view it – simply install the extension and browse away.
After viewing the video, you can click on the list of related videos, and continue watching them without being taken to the YouTube age verification page.
Steps to skip YouTube age verification
- Install Firefox (if you don’t have it).
- Install You Old Enough Firefox extension. You will be asked to log in before installing the extension. Enter username leavemealone@bugmenot.com and password BugMeNot (or if it doesn’t work, find more here).
- Restart Firefox and enjoy.
