Using YouTube anonymously

When I try to watch a YouTube video, I get blocked. The message says that YouTube does not allow anonymous viewing. What can I do? I do not have a YouTube account.

I am using Firefox Focus and Duck Duck Go. I want to remain anonymous and untracked.

That's a strange message. Perhaps there are some videos that are age-restricted which require logging in, but most can be watched in a private window without logging in, at least on other versions of Firefox.

However, I've never used Firefox Focus so perhaps it restricts something YouTube needs to work. ??
