How the fuck do I get rid of this spyware every time I go to copy a youtube link?
I added this to my Ublock filter and it doesn't even block it all

next time you copy the link stop at the &
>How the fuck do I get rid of this spyware every time I go to copy a youtube link?
Use your fucking mouse and only select the first part of the URL, retard.
ok but i don't think it should have spyware by default there has to be some way to get rid of it
where are you finding such links in the first place? I never get those parameters when I click video links on youtube. Are you clicking through from another search engine or something?
search for something in youtube, then copy the link of the video straight off the search results page
it will add this shit onto it (or maybe it won't if you have some kind of tracker blockers, idk.)
if you're searching on youtube then google is already tracking your every movement
obsessing further is pointless, resistance is futile
RESISTANCE IS NOT FUTILE, WE'RE GONNA WIN THIS THING, HUMANKIND IS TOO GOOD, WE'RE NOT A BUNCH OF UNDER-ACHIEVERS! WE'RE GONNA STAND UP, AND WE'RE GONNA BE HUMAN BEINGS! WE'RE GOING TO GET FIRED UP ABOUT THE REAL THINGS, THE THINGS THAT MATTER! CREATIVITY, AND THE DYNAMIC HUMAN SPIRIT THAT REFUSES TO SUBMIT!
That's funny you post this, because some Walmarts are coming back to cities, but with actual police stations inside the Walmart to curb "theft"
Sometimes browser search engines will add trash like that (e.g. if you directly search for X on youtube from the browser search bar, it might add "&browsernaggertype=532423414424"
maybe there is a browser extension or a userscript for that somewhere
jamie, pull that up
always use invidious instance
YouTube is the spyware, &pp links are one of the things it does
They know what you search, because they serve you the search results, and they know what you watch because they serve you the video. Unless you're searching and watching on two different devices, removing the thing is pointless because they already have you pegged. If you are sending video links from one device to another, or to other people, then obviously do remove the spyware.
legitimate url shortener might get rid of them idk
>using a third party service to remove a parameter from a url

israelitegle is making short url longer, wtf?
have you tried just $removeparam=pp ? i think ublock cant handle redirects that well for some reason i forgot if youre getting redirected from youtu.be
write a simple browser extension that runs on YouTube.com domain and removes the link from the share button or redirects automatically to regular URL
If you're on Chrome then check chrome store. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/clearurls/
I'm the OP and I use this actually and I don't think it blocks the one I mentioned.
Maybe somebody already filed bug reports of it
