YouTube Fix
Loads avatars on YouTube in Russia
What is YouTube Fix?
YouTube Fix is a useful Firefox add-on developed to tackle the specific issue encountered by Russian users. It aims to unblock the viewing of YouTube avatars, which are inaccessible due to the blockage of 'yt3.ggpht.com'. The add-on accomplishes this by seamlessly redirecting all requests from the blocked site to 'yt4.ggpht.com', which is accessible, restoring the user's ability to view avatars on YouTube.
