How website detects DNS resolver?
Hello! I recently tried NextDNS and noticed that is detects my current DNS resolved on the go. I just opened its website and it immediately showed my current resolver: ![](https://lemmy.ml/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Flemmy.world%2Fpictrs%2Fimage%2Fb6859baa-6048-4bbd-ad5a-9054df726635.jpeg) When I tried changing private DNS to Cloudflatein settings it instantly showed my new resolver. But how exactly it works? Does the browser send used DNS server to website? Or it is done somehow via JavaScript? And also: So every website can know what I am using now? Can it be used for fingerprinting?

It is not IP blacklist by Google. Seems like YouTube can now detect NewPipe extractor.


Invidious doesn’t work now lol


In LibreTube doesn’t work



Grayjay is proprietary, so I don’t think it is very good for privacy and freedom


FreeTube also doesn’t work well


I am looking for Piped instance for LibreTube, but this is better than nothing. Than you!


Why you can’t just issue Let’s Encrypt certificate via certbot?


Frontend doesn’t matter. And I am watching videos primarily via LibreTube Android app


Death of Piped?
Last two weeks every time I use Piped I am getting error "Sign in to confirm you are not a bot". It happens on every instance and videos work very rarely. It seems like Google enforces you to log in if you try watch lot of videos from one IP. I hope this will not be end of Piped and there will be solution for this problem. Upd. I got similar problem on Invidious recently
