Is this the reason why I have to "confirm it's you" every time I sign into a Google service now? I appreciate the fact that Firefox's protection is so good that Google doesn't recognize my PC anymore, but it's extremely annoying to have to pull out my phone every time I want to watch YouTube.

This might be what finally convinces me to ditch Google for good. Good job, Firefox devs.

This sounds wild. What is your setup? You are using Youtube directly and unmitigated?

At the moment yes cause I'm too lazy/ADHD to switch to NewPipe.

It’s okay to say lazy. Not everything is ADHD. You’re just lazy.

FWIW I've been using the lazy excuse all my life until I got the ADHD diagnosis a year ago in my 30s.
