Fucking #youtube has started auto translating the titles of videos, and these #translations are appearing in search results. This is really F**KING annoying.
It is also defaulting to hyper annoying computer generated audio dubs of video that are not in the browsers language.

youtube is a pestilence. Please don't use it.

OK, There's also an addon for FF.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/youtube-no-translation/ and it works.

But still, please STOP uploading to #Youtube, or at least also upload somewhere else also!

Using a browser extension to remove or modify the Accept-Language header for the site* helps, however, you may make your browser fingerprint even more unique.

*I don't necessarily want to remove language prefs for the entire internet.

(It goes without saying that, the browser is not logged into any google service and does not keep their cookies)

This one works for the task:
