This wouldn't make you have to log in every time you watch YouTube. It means by signing in to google.com, youtube.com can't tell that you're signed in. If you sign in on youtube.com, you'll stay signed in on youtube.com unless you have something else deleting your cookies.

Well have had my cookies set to delete every time I close the browser for several years now but FF only now started doing this verification thing. A week ago all I had to do was enter my email and password.

If you're already deleting all your cookies every time you close, then this new change should be identical to your first login of the day when your browser has no cookies. If you're only getting 2fa requests after this change, then maybe you weren't actually deleting every cookie, and Google was still fingerprinting you somehow.

You may want to just use tab containers for youtube, so that it maintains your session, but also isolates it.

Best way to use such (para)sites.

This article is from 2022

[–] viking@infosec.pub 13 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It was updated today. 2 years ago it was just an announcement of a beta function in private browsing, the full rollout happened with 129.0.2 which was released a few days back.

Cool, thanks. How'd you find the version number? I was looking on the linked post but didn't find it. Maybe just me being tired.

[–] viking@infosec.pub 5 points 3 months ago

I don't think it was in the article, but I updated to 192.0.2 yesterday and checked the enhanced tracking protection settings, and block cross-site cookies is now in the default profile, so that was my assumption since it wasn't there previously.
