Problem

Clicking near a username in comments often directed to the users channel

Fix

  • Intercepts clicks on elements.
  • Prevents default navigation & propagation.

Testing

  • Verified in Chrome DevTools.
  • Username links are now blocked

hi and thanks! @SohamUser

In our current structure, it should not run by default for everybody but only for the x% of users who want to enable a toggle.
Of course we could group features and allow to enable multiple at once.

We also have Appearance : Comments : Hide Avatars. (CSS display:none)
(We could automatically hide the half without a photo upload in feature group called minimalist layout)

Does Youtube give you the preview info box when you click the avatar?
(if this info is pre-loaded, we could simply remove the links to empty channels by default.) (and also show that box equally conditionally. Or remove all click reaction but move the info to the same line as the channel name. - Or make the box even smaller (less intrusive) and make the link to the full channel page appear right below the mouse pointer, so that a "double click" would still work too.
