Haven’t tried reproducing, but it’s possible they just “don’t support” this. Facebook also “doesn’t support” these sorts of links (at least to Telegram, Snapchat, others) on Instagram: https://techcrunch.com/2016/03&#x2

Working on a private journaling app for iOS that opens ~instantly and feels like a private blog or Twitter page. Content is saved to your iCloud Drive and is totally private. It’s still a bit buggy and the UI needs a bit of polish, but I’ve

I’m sure that GitHub certainly has analytics; they just don’t use third-party analytics. This means that either they’ve built their own tool or are self hosting someone else’s. I imagine that GitHub has some amount of internal tooling here

I'm an American that's currently in Europe, and I recently downloaded a mobile ad-blocker for the purpose of blocking cookie popups. I was already blocking most tracking at the DNS level, so this was mostly for cosmetic purposes.

I imagine the hard part of securing <iframe /> tags isn't the sandbox, but instead maintaining user privacy. GitHub caches and proxies all of the images they render. One of the benefits of this is that a 3rd party can't
