No. They all have to connect via an API that ultimately Google controls and monitors. Unfortunately decentralized or not, they all tap into the same well.
But in any case, the extensions can’t be spotted by YT, so that’s why they have the best chance of co existing (or not easily).
Doesn't sound like you understood the question
I understood fine. How are you getting these videos to begin with? You think Google won’t notice? And when you have them, where are you storing them?
