Hello, while I use frontends where possible in place of the original websites/apps I do find it interesting that some of them, mostly referring to the Youtube ones still allow you to login normally? I understand this is to bypass blocks and that in theory the frontend still tries to limit what it sends back to Google but in practice how does this work without killing the privacy aspect?

which frontend allows that?
as I know piped and invidious have their own account system, and by following their attempts to regain access to youtube content I would think that if they allowed login with a google account, that would place the account in danger of getting blocked for good
