Youtube blocked on ABE usage.

[simpleme]

I have set up the following ABE rules that have worked for a while with no problem. Lately however, I've been viewing Youtube videos only to be shown a "Movie not loaded" message when right clicking. I've traced it down to the following ABE rule, when when removed allows the videos to play just fine:

Code: Select all

# Anonymize access made from other sites
# This rule seems to break youtube
Site *
Accept ALL from SELF++
Anonymize INCLUSION
Anonymize SUB

Originally this worked fine, but now it does not work anymore. If I comment out the lines with Anonymize, then Youtube works fine again. I'm just a little paranoid and like to not pass to many cookies/etc around if not needed, but would like to know why it doesn't work. I've used firebug, and even when Youtube is working with the above commented out, I don't see any requests to a third party (youtube.com to google.com) that uses cookies which would be stripped by the Anonymize rules.

What do you see in the Error Console (Ctrl+Shift+J) under Messages when this occurs?

I've used firebug, and even when Youtube is working with the above commented out, I don't see any requests to a third party (youtube.com to google.com) that uses cookies which would be stripped by the Anonymize rules.

The Anonymize rule tries also to strip out from URLs anything resembling an unique identifier.
It may be the unfortunate case that some mandatory parameter is getting stripped out this way.
