Is your enhancement request related to a problem? Please describe.
While discussing on the techlore matrix server I discovered that some people are blocking third party requests. By default invidious request through google servers for the video data so this is an issue for them.

Describe the solution you'd like
Automatically detect if the user is blocking the requests and switch to proxying the requests through invidious servers.
This will probably only work with javascript, so with videojs.

Additional context
The person that I discussed with blocked the requests with ublock origin.
