Do these pass through the user agent to YouTube? Otherwise they'll have the same issue with Firefox being underrepresented.
I was replying to this part of the comment:
If the alternatives don't use a Firefox user-agent, it'll also have the same effect in reducing the amount of Firefox traffic in their logs.
I edited my comment a bit to clarify :)
