    LPT, strip the “?si=” part off the end of your youtube links. They are UUID tracking links meant to determine connections between users and are a massive cross-platform privacy violation.

      That YouTube tracking parameter is probably the one I encounter the most and it’s frustrating that the Firefox “Copy Link Without Site Tracking” doesn’t strip it out. I’m assuming it’s intentionally allowed by Mozilla because of some agreement with Google.

        Mozilla and Google do have a bit of a mutually beneficial relationship going on, not one I really like, but Mozilla wouldn’t exist right now if it didn’t have it…

      You can also replace the tracking parameter with #t=xxmyys to go to a specific timestamp in the video.
