We should be more careful. 1 in 30,000 is a pretty good chance to not get found out, but when it comes to videos with smaller viewcounts, we should not be allowing them to be shared.

Also we should do something about the tracking links that people keep sharing here willynilly. Even if it's just a rule change. Feels like 6 months since I last posted about this without change.

    firefox doesn't kill all trackers, though it does kill a lot of them. things like google tracking what your account has interacted with obviously won't be handled by firefox's security features. when I open youtube videos in my hexbear container, I'm not logged into youtube, so my actual youtube account behaves like it's never watched them. do not set youtube to auto-open in a container, that defeats the purpose of using this imo. i have auto-open in container for hexbear, and like... shoppping sites like ebay? basically sites that wouldn't really be linked to. things like twitter and youtube where the concern comes from should not auto-open into a container, you can just manually open it into the proper container when you want to browse it properly.

    and yea, we should handle it site wide, but in absence of it being handled site wide i would recommend doing this ^^
