Can only be implemented using javascript though, if you have JS disabled you will never get the popup. |

We can do what we do for the delete playlist/account actions, though: an intermediary HTML page with two buttons. |

Yes! Thank you @SamantazFox That's actually what I had in mind while I was writing the issue. Something like this - https://steamcommunity.com/linkfilter/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fexample.com I shouldn't have used the word confirmation "box". I meant confirmation "page" . |

Is your enhancement request related to a problem? Please describe.
On at least 10 separate occasions, I have accidentally clicked/tapped "Watch on YouTube (Embed)" .
And also when I'm reading the comment section on links(text based web browser) using
&nojs=1, I have accidentally clicked/tapped on [YT] which links to the comment on youtube .Describe the solution you'd like
I do not want to accidentally ping YouTube servers. Please implement a confirmation
boxpage before connecting to YouTube.A confirmation
boxpage like...** "You are leaving Invidious to visit <insert YouTube/comment link> . Are you Sure?" **
** "Yes" Or "No" **
Click "No" returns the page back to where the user was before.
Describe alternatives you've considered
I know modern web browsers(Firefox/Chromium) allow for editing the CSS, so I could just find the element and
{display: none;}in Stylus, but this won't work in text based web browsers like links.I realize this is entirely a user error(my error), and I've tried to be careful not to click YT links, but I've failed so many times now.
So I thought I'd propose this feature request. Please consider it.
Thanks!
