Frontends don't really protect anything since users get logged exploited cookied js sessioned and googled watching them too. FE's, as proxies, do help users get around blocks of youtube itself. But FE's as effectively link shorteners obsure actual destination from recognition, and get non-matched by users tools that expecting actual destination. FE's also down a lot or broken outdated api. FE's seem best on lists of proxies, not prefixed to everyones links. Onions don't do much since sites are available 3 hops shorter via exit anyway, and TLS e2e is the same as onion e2e. But do avoid all blocking except of overlay itself.
