One of the primary features is that all requests are routed through Tor, except for the video file at googlevideo.com. This is analogous to what HookTube does, except that you do not have to trust a third-party to respect your privacy. The assumption here is that Google won't put the effort in to incorporate the video file requests into their survelliance systems, as it's not worth pursuing the incredibly small number of users who care about privacy. Using Tor is optional; when not routing through Tor, video pages load *faster* than they do with Youtube's Polymer (for me atleast). +youtube-local is a browser-based client written in Python for watching Youtube anonymously and without the lag of Polymer (the javascript Youtube uses).
