YouTube-dl has a JavaScript interpreter written in 870 lines of Python
Embedding V8 can work quite well: https://github.com/sqreen/PyMiniRacer
You probably have to emulate some of the DOM, but you can interact directly with whatever obfuscated/packed scripts in a more lightweight and secure way than driving an entire browser.

connecting languages
First learn what forms computer code can be in. Source code combine js and python or to combine c and C++ object code with a linker or at runtime if you want to shell out and run from the prompt

Web Browser Engineering
If you want battle-hardened, I figure you can't do better than V8. Here's a Python wrapper that I've poked at a bit (it's not quite 100% feature-complete but it seems to essentially work): https://github.com/sqreen/PyMiniRacer

Mobile Ad Blocker Will No Longer Stop YouTube's Ads
Don't use Youtube without going through a proxy like Invidious [1] or Newpipe
Don't use {site} Search without going through a proxy like SearxNG [2]
Don't use TwiXXer without going through a proxy like Nitter - this has gotten more difficult lately but it still works as long as you feed the daemon some registered accounts. Video does not work at the moment but that seems to be fixable.
Don't use Reddit without going through a proxy like libreddit [4]
Start noticing the pattern? Maybe it is time to start producing promotional posters:
The only thing to come between you and ADS could be a proxy / ADS. I'ts just not worth the risk
ADS / New rules for a sane net / Sane net protects you, your partner and your community
A proxy here and a filter there, ADS nowhere
The more you tighten your grip, ${site}, the more viewers will slip through your fingers

X blocks Taylor Swift searches after fake AI videos go viral
I assume this is why Nitter got slammed and is on the verge of breaking.

Nitter Is Dead

Something peculiar in my 2yo's bedroom led me to a revelation about our universe
Most of the time you can just replace twitter.com with nitter.net or nitter.it but when these instances are down or blocked you can use other instances listed here: https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/wiki/Instances
But as the other commenter said Libredirect is the way to go: https://libredirect.github.io/

YouTube is loading slower for users with ad blockers yet again
Use a Youtube proxy like Invidious [1], problem solved and you get to subscribe to channels without telling the Beast about your interests. Add Sponsorblock (which supports Invidious) to get rid of any in-stream advertising which remains and you'll be transported back to those hallowed times of yore when men were men, women were women and advertising was something you found in newspapers. Youtube will try to make this harder just like Xitter is trying to make it harder to use proxies like Nitter [2].

Nitter.net Has Disappeared
njal.la restored nitter.net, and replied with their reasons: https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/issues/1150#issuecomment-18...
tbh I can totally understand why they acted this way.
