To embed or not to embed, that is the question. (700 views, 27 replies)

I've watched videos as embedded and not embedded but have noticed no difference, so is there any advantage of one over the other? Thanks.

I think it's because embedding keeps you on this site, whereas not embedding is actually leaving the site and not knowing what to expect... pop ups and so forth...& third party sites.

I could be wrong but I feel safer embedding flicks here. :)

@purpleplum For sure, I think you are going into the "unknown" world otherwise :)

@๐“œ๐“ธ๐“พ๐“ผ๐“ฎ*๐Ÿญ That one game that some sites advertise with the panting Asian woman on her knees really irritates me. I know there are folks that are n2 that, but seriously, I don't need to see it. Adblock cuts down on a lot of that crap as well...

@purpleplum Agreed, but I find UBlock Origin even better, kills them all dead! Also Ghostery is fantastic.

@๐“œ๐“ธ๐“พ๐“ผ๐“ฎ*๐Ÿญ I know that Adblock can affect some stream speeds as well. And, yes, finding good free software is through a lotta trial and a lotta error!

@purpleplum i wouldn't worry about it very much. most of those ads say you won't last five minutes playing anyway, whatever that means...

Embed just 'cause I'm lazy and don't like jumping through hoops if a link doesn't pan out. BTW, AdBlock is hot garbage anymore. nanoblock is where it's at. Haven't seen a pop-up in years here..

I don't embed, but I honestly believe the embedded option is a good way to go for most members. :)

However, I also NEVER, EVER see any pop-ups or pop unders, because I've got uBlock Origin, Opera, and 360 Total Security.

@purpleplum They are the ones that open behind the main page. They actually are known to run more hidden scripts then the pop ups. I had one a couple years ago that stuck a bitcoin miner on my PC.
