@GentriFriedRice There are multiply dectections and like mentioned in another comment there was multiply reports from Edge and Firefox users that they experienced the same issue.



@programmer_belch Not sure since I’m not so good at javascript, but I know abt several reports and articles that Edge users has the same issue as Firefox users.


@SaltyIceteaMaker Same, I think it’s bc of uBO or other modifications from or which I made to LibreWolf, but other people made reports on Reddit and other Social Media platforms that they expierenced that and the code obviously shows that YT is doing that stuff.


@Asudox Firefox and Edge are two of the biggest competitors to Chrome, Edge is like a degoogled version of Chromium but with a bunch of Microsoft Trash instead, they don’t even have Google Safebrowsing or Google as default search engine like Firefox does.


**#YouTube is making the watching experience worse on [#Fi
**[\#YouTube](https://infosec.exchange/tags/YouTube) is making the watching experience worse on [#Firefox](https://infosec.exchange/tags/Firefox) and Microsoft Edge.** I didn't believe it the first time I heard abt it, since it sounded more like a conspiracy theory than a actual thing, but it's true. Google does add 5s timeout specifically to Firefox and Edge users when they try to watch a video on YT. If you want to know more about it, Mental Outlaw make a very good video abt it (Link: [https://youtu.be/v4gXhmzQztE](https://youtu.be/v4gXhmzQztE) ). I think Google did this, to get people moving to Chrome since the majority will think this is a browser issue, nobody would expect YouTube to purposely doing this. In the attached Screenshot you can see that YouTube checks the user agent of browsers to see if it's Edge, Firefox or not. You can bypass this by changing your User agent to chrome. **Edit:** Due a lot of people saying a lot of different things abt it, I want to say that I'm not 100% sure abt how exactly this works, there is a inbuild delay by Google, but who is actually affected, there are a lot of different opinions abt it. I wasn't able to verify this myself in LibreWolf, but this could be the case due my intensive hardening I did and this is just a result of what I found in the code and what Mental Outlaw and others shared across social media, if you got different or additional infos abt this feel free to comment and I suggest everyone ti also check the comment section.

Good news! Brave for Android now let’s u use your favorite uBlock Origin Blocklists!
Good news! Brave for Android now let's u use your favorite uBlock Origin Blocklists! Under Settings \> Brave Shields & privacy Can you now add custom filterlists and edit Brave's default selection of the already avaible filterlists. Some of you now that this was possible before too (via brave://adblock) but at this time it had no UI and wasn't a official feature, now you can easily add, remove and customize fiterlists via the the settings.

@free Yep, thats why people invest a lot of time which have much more technical understanding than you have to create products to improve the privacy problem on Windows, Privacy isn’t a privilege which only a specific group of human is allowed to have, Privacy is a human right and should be accessable for everyone. If you miss the understanding for that, I would recommend informing yourself better then spreading false information.

@staustellsimon @privacy Yea. It’s my typewise, I though about making it
more “standard”, but I decided to keep the personal touch.


@staustellsimon @privacy Oh. Thank you for pointing this out to me.


@ben @privacy Okay, I will investigate this, thanks for pointing it put to me!



@sexy_peach Thank you very much! Just now wondering, handle WA this differently? Since Ig we all know this message which appears when the “keys” ig, changed


@sexy_peach So when I understood it right (just skimmed the text), the encryption keys changes per message?


@Rose True, but there are still differences, for example Signal encrypts everything, while WA only encrypts chats and calls, so the implementation is a bit different, which maybe could be also in Signal with PFS.


So, I’m interested how the implementation of “Perfect Forward Secrecy” in Signal looks like, like do
So, I'm interested how the implementation of "Perfect Forward Secrecy" in Signal looks like, like does every messages has a different encryption key? or does it change over time like [#whatsapp](https://infosec.exchange/tags/whatsapp) does? I tried to find any official documention of this, sadly did not find anything. Thats why I'm asking, does anyone of you know smth about this and maybe can provide a link to a official source?

@NightAuthor Skip Redirect can do this, but it often cause also some kind of breakage, Brave has it inbuild so no need there and not sure if Firefox has in it’s config some protection for this

Bounce Tracking I heard of this methode of Tracking before, but never knew that this was it's name, anyway. As I searched for it, I found this article from Brave which gives a very easy to understand explanation of Bounce Tracking, I recommend reading it.
