Using a browser instead of the YouTube app?

Bingo. I’m using Chrome app on WinX desktop. (and yes, I’m a total idiot who’s taken too long to switch over to FF & linux)

Amazon too, along with many other services. There’s a ClearURLs Firefox add-on to remove them automatically.

Cool. Myself, I just manually clear that tracking rubbish in the URL field, but I get that such is way easier on desktop browser.

You’re using Google, that’s about as wrong as it gets in the privacy space.

And I’m also using Gmail! :S
So just for gits & shiggles-- how badly would you say I might be hurt by my foolishness, at this rate?

Btw, Nebula-- are you able to federate back and forth with Mastodon & Lemmy as a single stream? I’d love to see that.

While I see that x10,000 with google links, I don’t recall I’ve ever seen it for YT videos.

As a google user, what… what am I doing wrong? 😕

Sorry to hear that, but I’m guessing that might be related to your specific instance. So far I’m really happy with mine, but some are evidently struggling to keep up with the influx of Rexxiters. (and bots, maybe?)

Anyway, nothing preventing you from hitting the Fediverse from a different instance, yeah?
