minus-squareJohnnyEnzyme@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up2·8 months ago 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? @nebula224@mastodon.social Btw, Nebula-- are you able to federate back and forth with Mastodon & Lemmy as a single stream? I’d love to see that.
