Spotify does this too if I recall.

Firefox has a plugin called ClearURLs that cleans URLs across the entire web, not just YouTube. Might be available on Chrome too.

@Flaky @kropot Spotify also uses it for the lyrics preview, like if you select the lyrics and share them. As far as I'm aware there's not another way to do this (but you can just get the lyrics from like genius or some place)
@Flaky @kropot Spotify is especially creepy. In the Android app at least it knows when you take a screenshot of the app. I have no idea why but I'm sure it can't be good.
@kdj8 @Flaky @kropot either its crawling your screenshots folder (ew), or its using the android 14 screenshot detection api (also ew)
