Unrelated, but has anyone else had issues with embedded YouTube videos playing just by swiping your finger over them while scrolling the page on iOS? I’m sorely tempted to block YouTube at the network level, it’s so annoying.

I've done this. One of the best decisions of my november 2021. I do not miss it one bit.


I can't fathom why Google decided to do this, it's profoundly irritating!

Looks like Vinegar fixes this (even in apps other than Safari). $2 very well spent.
