Option Default homepage = Search do not work properly #33

Hello. I set the option Default homepage = Search in the yewtu.be preferences. But when I open the https://yewtu.be/ , I am automatically redirected to https://yewtu.be/feed/popular . This bug appeared near 2-3 weeks ago. Previously, for several years this option worked correctly. Thank you.

I can't reproduce the issue. It works fine on my end.

I have done some research and can refine the description of the bug. The bug occurs in the browser Firefox when using the online bookmark manager Raindrop.io . When using regular bookmarks in the Firefox , the bug does not occur. In the browser Chrome, when using both regular bookmarks and the Raindrop.io , the bug also does not occur.

Versions of Firefox and Chrome browsers are the latest.

I also noticed that in Firefox a hyperlink https://yewtu.be on any website redirects to https://yewtu.be/feed/popular . I will also add that not only the "Default homepage" option is reset, but all settings are reset. Maybe the server resets cookie ​​to default values ​​under some conditions?

I want to repeat that the bug appeared near 2-3 weeks ago. Previously, for several years this bug did not exist.

What could be the problem?

Thanks.

Thank you for the detailed explanation.

Can you reproduce the same issue on other invidious instances?

Are you sure it's not something that raindrop.io changed? Does it also clear the cookies on other website that you bookmarked?

I don't see other websites resetting preferences stored in cookies. Not when using normal bookmarks, nor when using Raindrop.io.

I checked some other instances of Invidious and found that the same bug occurs on https://yewtu.be/ , https://tube.cthd.icu/ , https://vid.puffyan.us/ . On https://invidio.xamh.de/ , https://invidious.snopyta.org/ the bug does not exist.

It seems to me that the problem is not in Raindrop.io, but in the web server settings. The preferences reset occurs not only when using Raindrop.io, but even when using the URL https://yewtu.be/ on any website (← for example, this URL is automatically redirected to https://yewtu.be/feed/popular ).

Sorry for the late reply. I unfortunately have no idea how to solve this issue.
