YT Animated Like Icon #18

Closed mchangrh closed 2 weeks ago

mchangrh commented 2 years ago

currently the best way to block it is to block the like_icon schema

||www.gstatic.com/youtube/img/lottie/animated_like_icon/*.json^,redirect=noop.js

this blocks both the dark and light versions of the animations so they can't be loaded by the lottie script.

path: "https://www.gstatic.com/youtube/img/lottie/animated_like_icon/animated_like_icon_v2_light.json",
pathDarkTheme: "https://www.gstatic.com/youtube/img/lottie/animated_like_icon/animated_like_icon_v2_dark.json",

Unintended Consequences

the lotte script (likely their animation player) can also be blocked at which also disable animations for the home icon and nothing else

Update: forced redirect jsons to noop resources otherwise it would generate thousands of console errors every minute

mchangrh commented 2 years ago

Modified to just block lottie_light on youtube.com to avoid both console errors and other unintended consequences

Still appearing even with lottie purged
