@muzzlehatch_ @RowanJColeman You can disable all cookies in most browsers (e.g Safari settings > Privacy > Block all cookies) but it’ll break most sites with logins. That’s why our focus is mostly on blocking third-party cookies (and scripts), as that catches a lot of the most problematic stuff —Laura

@Mezitos It’s not against our principles, but is difficult to do while keeping your browsing information safe. (We use Apple’s Safari content blocking functionality so we can’t access what you’re browsing!) But if Apple gives us a privacy-respecting way to do it in the future… we might!

@volanin @LauraKalbag Thanks, that’s really helpful. I suspect when it’s hit and miss that it’s a caching issue. Either way, I should be able to reproduce this and get it fixed. I’ll keep you updated — Laura

@betterblocker @LauraKalbag Trying to play while logged into only one account (no matter which: normal or gsuite) would give me the same hit or miss results. But trying to play while logged into both accounts at the same time would always give me an error.

@betterblocker Something broke after this last update. I can only watch YouTube videos directly on the YouTube website, embedded videos in other sites stopped working. I'm using Safari 12.1.2 on macOS Sierra 10.12.6. Disabling Blocker fixes the problem. Example Link: kotaku.com/here-s-a-whole…
