I think maybe whatever client you use could build this functionality.
I understand we have all the proof now, but back then, how can someone get intimidated by a call that could easily be fake.

Because of the CORS settings on Google's servers would tell your browser to not go forward with the request. There are two ways it could eventually be possible:
- By opening the video in a new page/tab that only contains the video, with the YouTube player, which defeats the purpose a bit.
- By installing an addon or an app on your device.
Fair enough, that's interesting. I assume this only applies to the non-web clients. On the web, it would not be possible. You can verify by looking at the outgoing network requests on this random video for example: https://invidious.privacyredirect.com/watch?v=qKMcKQCQxxI
You can download videos and cut off sponsored moments in the video with sponsorblock.
GrayJay is pretty good!
Alternatively, in a similar fashion. Use "hail" to auto pause any app you want so they don't run in the background unintended.
They already support manifest v3, but with less restrictions than Chrome's implementation.
Some developers will publish their apps on github, you can download it, and use a different app to get the apk file from the app you get from the play store, and compare the hash of the file. If they're identical then Google didn't meddle with it. If they're not, either Google did, or the developer releases a different version to Google Play.

You should be able to do that with a ublock origin filter.
Maybe ask on the community: !ublockorigin@lemmy.ml
