Describe the feature you want

This is a script that allows the user to bypass YouTube's age restriction, could be implemented into NewPipe?

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe it

Age restriction imposes people to make and use a Google account and to submit a personal document if they live in the EU. As reported in TeamNewPipe/NewPipe#5006 and TeamNewPipe/NewPipe#5518 many YouTube age restricted videos don't work on NewPipe.

The "account-proxy" server they include seems to be rather interesting! I wonder if Aurora Store's token dispenser could be used in a similar way.

For example, you can bypass it like so: https://youtube-proxy.zerody.one/getPlayer?videoId=r4JWI4UDOrc&clientName=WEB&clientVersion=2.20210728.00.00&isEmbed=false

The relevant code is used in their extension is here: https://github.com/zerodytrash/Simple-YouTube-Age-Restriction-Bypass/blob/4cde705cf4315a26587e75f09682501492e20043/src/components/proxy.js#L10-L19

Can you look at what yt-dlp does? It uses some kind of "android agegate player API". I was able to download videos with it that NewPipe was unable to play due to age restriction.

Note: This seems to affect all videos now (see https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/issues/8102 for more information).
