Youtube invites the user to use nonfree javascript, so there's no telling when their engineers will get the upper hand (it seems that they already have). The only sustainable solution is to drop youtube entirely or support a libre frontend...

And also to educate everyone you can on libre software philosophy so they know to reject the next iteration of this injustice instead of waiting for the bruises to appear.
