The website won't operate properly without non-free code running in the browser. If you don't trust YouTube to run programs on your computer, that's a bad option. Using VLC to view the video from its URL, or downloading the video with ‘youtube-dl’, avoid executing any of the non-free code. -- \ “Oh, I realize it's a penny here and a penny there, but look at | `\ me: I've worked myself up from nothing to a state of extreme | _o__) poverty.” —Groucho Marx | Ben Finney _______________________________________________ Free-software-melb mailing list Free-software-melb@lists.softwarefreedom.com.au http://lists.softwarefreedom.com.au/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/free-software-melb Free Software Melbourne home page: http://www.freesoftware.asn.au/melb/
