How are we displaying YouTube videos?
Do we need to change anything so that nothing breaks?
If not, should we change things anyway for privacy reasons ("This privacy enhanced fork adds a toggleable setting that only loads external content after the user gave explicit consent by clicking the video"), or so that we can play videos from archive.org?
I think a model where there is a privacy toggle is preferable, it adds an element of consent for the user, which is nice.
