Basically landing on a YOUTUBE page, even if you don't launch a video, can steal your FR password and passwords to any other application you have open. Read more about it on the following Free Republic thread: Google is at it again, new YouTube security threat

Use Rumble when possible.

If I understand this statement, then opening YouTube, while other webpages are open, will enable YT to then steal the login info? Conversely, opening YT by itself means they can't?
