@epicsam123 epicsam123 commented Feb 6, 2025

I use Invidious mainly for preventing Google tracking. As a user, I thought it would be nice to include the option to hide YT links in the UI as I sometimes accidentally click on them (primarily the comment links when on mobile). I also included some missing "noreferrers".

Translations were provided by perplexity.ai

There are other external links that I didn't modify. Should we consider those as well?

You only need to provide translations for en-US.

Other translations are done through weblate (ex: https://github.com/iv-org/invidious/pull/4989/files ).

Although not mutually exclusive, this PR does overlap and change the same sections of code as #4826, which adds a confirmation page before visiting YouTube links.

I'm not sure if I personally agree with adding more code to remove the links from the frontend—which can increase the maintenance burden—when a confirmation page will serve the same purpose for safeguarding against tracking.

@SamantazFox @unixfox what do you think?

@syeopite I'm in favor of the confirmation page proposed in that other pull request. I agress that we already have enough config options like that.

Will close this in favor of #4826, thanks!
