If you mean the block page, yes, that's just the YouTube embed. You'll see the same results on any wiki page that has a YouTube embed for the same reason; it's not tracking or anything I have control over (other than outright not having YouTube embeds). But I think if anyone has concerns over that, they're better addressed at the local-user level by disabling all unauthorized iframes.

There are lightweight YouTube embeds like https://github.com/paulirish/lite-youtube-embed. It’s lauded for faster page loads, but it likely has good privacy implications too since it basically just loads a thumbnail unless you click on it.

Maybe don’t do YouTube embed if it’s just a flickering logo. Use a GIF for that.

I’m not disabling my VPN if a website with multiple trackers asks me to.
