  "textContent": "Just visited YouTube on my MX Linux distro where Pale Moon would not play any videos earlier today because YT thought I was a bot and wanted me to \"sign in\" to prove I was not a bot. But I did not get the \"sign it\" prompt.  The video began playing.\n\nSo I tried a couple more videos and Pale Moon played them all. Then I used Waterfox and the same thing happened. The videos began playing. I thought to myself I was on a roll.  Maybe the \"third time was the charm\" and I used Firefox. And the videos began playing.\n\nThe odd thing about all of this. I \"never\" changed any of the settings I made in Pale Moon, Waterfox or Firefox. My only guess is, there must have been a glitch at YT which caused havoc for me earlier this morning. Now I just have to keep my fingers crossed and hope this does not happen again.\n\n* * *",
