Youtube Plays Even On Content Warning Pages

Post by therube »

Just to note...

Currently on Youtube, with JavaScript allowed, even if you are not signed in, a "Content Warning, This video may be inappropriate for some users" page still "plays" (you'll hear the audio at least).

Appears to be an issue on Youtube's end, nothing to do with "NoScript".
(Though if you use NoScript & do not have youtube.com allowed, or even if you do & have Flash Embeddings blocked, then nothing "plays".)

Wow, talk about useless "filtering". They're simply moving the player off-screen with CSS and adding an extra "display:none" for good measure.
(I didn't try to watch the whole thing, but the first few seconds seemed to work fine.)
*Always* check the changelogs BEFORE updating that important software!
