Reply to comment by Froid in How to anonymously watch Youtube videos (X-post /f/privacy) by sudo
I suppose it also has the effect that you won't see any ads, but the main reason for doing this is so that you won't be fingerprinted by running any of youtube's javascript code. The only effective way to thwart browser fingerprinting is by using tor browser with the security settings on high, and this means youtube won't work normally. But this method gets around that, while preserving your anonymity.
