BTW, I've made a significant change to `./youtube_dl/utils.py`, as I suggested here. Youtube-dl actually works now.

... And now yt-dlp have updated their random UA string to report Chrome 132-138:

Yes, I saw that.

However, their new code snippet used in that commit didn't play well with Python 3.4.4...

Maybe I can implement it like:

def random_user_agent():
    _USER_AGENT_TPL = 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/%s Safari/537.36'
    _CHROME_VERSIONS = (
        '132.0.0.0',
        '133.0.0.0',
        '134.0.0.0',
        '135.0.0.0',
        '136.0.0.0',
        '137.0.0.0',
        '138.0.0.0',
    )
    return _USER_AGENT_TPL % random.choice(_CHROME_VERSIONS)

🤔

Done. 😽
