Off topic but I love the YouTube player interface. Instead of loading it by default (and adding invasive Google tracking to the page), you get the option to opt in. Very nice.
- birb07 2y agohosting such videos on YouTube alternatives (even federated once) would be even better. I.e Blender has a peertube instance video.blender.org
- wut42 2y agoNot really. this can be avoided entirely by embedding with youtube-nocookie.com instead of this weird dance and youtube.com. https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/171780?hl=en#zippy=%2Cmake-an-embedded-video-play-automatically%2Cturn-on-privacy-enhanced-mode https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/171780?hl=en#zippy...
- dimal 2y agoI tried navigating to youtube-nocookie.com and got an http cert error, so that doesn't seem like an option. The support page you linked to talks about "Privacy Enhanced Mode". The language there does not sound like it really protects privacy. > The Privacy Enhanced Mode of the YouTube embedded player prevents the use of views of embedded YouTube content from influencing the viewer’s browsing experience on YouTube. So they're not promising not to track users. They're saying they won't use their tracking to personalize anything.
