Hello, a lot of cookies on fediverse Loma.
Can someone explain me that, or help to STOP that, please ?

@Friend Icare #Friendica is using external media (like youtube) directly and does not "proxify" them. For YT videos there is or was an addon for redirecting it to an #Invidious instance. Since Google started blocking such instances, there are only a few working left. My favorite is https://inv.nadeko.net . So your administrator needs configure it unless not yet done.

For the other external references, I have no idea, just block 3rd-party cookies, I guess.

@Friend Icare This comes from the Youtube video embed. Please check on a page that doesn't show a video.
I wonder if we shouldn't get rid of the YT preview box as it doesn't really preview anything.

In fact, on Diaspora, I think the choice made is to display the thumbnail image of the video, which is like this:
https :// i.ytimg. com/vi/ID_VIDEO/mqdefault. jpg
And it doesn't generate a tracker blocked by uBlock.

En fait, sur Diaspora, je pense que le choix qui est fait, c'est d'afficher la vignette de l'image de la vidéo, qui est de ce type :
https :// i.ytimg. com/vi/ID_VIDEO/mqdefault. jpg
Et cela ne génère pas de tracker bloqué par uBlock.

There's an issue here about possibly fetching titles and thumbnails via the youtube api instead, to get around specific instances being blocked from embedding them, as far as I understand:
