YouTube. By default works neither in Tor nor in Icecat.

youtube works with tor browser bundle :) ... but if your IP is correct
you are in UK, so you could run into your goverment censorship with
tor.

YouTube is getting harder to access, but I never watch online, anyway.
There is this little item called youtube-dl, which allows me to download
their videos, so that I can watch at my leisure, without viewing their
ads, or waiting for buffers, and I can watch it as many times as I want.
Also, if you know what you are doing, there is no problem with running
"torify youtube-dl" when trying to grab a video. And geographical
restrictions also vanish (with a little work).
LOL ... that nice tool is the reason for konqueror popping up to blame me
"your free disk space is under 5% ...". The ads I never see, my first line
of defense is uBlock Origin + uMatrix. Have you ever gotten the age
restricion removed?
You can do almost anything with youtube-dl, if you know how to arrange it on
command-line. See either youtube-dl --help, or the manpages.
I keep a list of commands for quick reference, but mostly I have whittled it
down to a few that work with little trouble.

If other people trust unknown entities somewhere
"out there" having
access to my browsing history, or whatever else of my data they get in
their clutches, then they must be better adapted to this digital age than
I.
I may eventually return to a totally pre-computer life. There are still
some places in the world without all this time-wasting crap, where people
read actual books made of paper, or play music with actual instruments
made of wood.
