I fucking hate this icon. I always get super paranoid about misclicking

So what does this button actually do?

I feel like an old man I'm not up to date on all the memes.

It connects to any Smart TV on your network.

>>61122205
This is the "cast" button -- it streams whatever you're watching to your televsion.

Solution: Log out of YouTube, or stop using YouTube.

I would assume you need to set something up on the television for that right?

Facebook is that way >>>>

>>61122187
Newpipe and SkyTube don't have this problem.

>>61122362
I don't use Facebook.

>>61122231
It's not just on YouTube.
I also want to know how to get rid of this.

>>61122187
Use firefox on android, use uBlock Origin, check social media annoyances and other crap, update, done.

Disable casting on your TV

>>61122726
I live with another person. It's not my TV.

>I'm so fucking ashamed of the stuff I watch on YT that even the presence of a button that could show it to people (which, by the way, asks which device you want to play on, so you can't even do it accidentally) makes me uncomfortable
Come on, the fuck are you watching?

>>61122786
not him but

porn

>>61122904
Where do you watch porn that has remote play? Youtube?
This is getting weirder and weirder.

>>61122786
I'm not telling you faggot.

>>61122187
But it pops up a list of cast-compatible devices, so it's least two clicks/taps to actually start casting the video. And a lot of TVs don't even support turning on or changing input automatically when something is being cast (or at least that setting is off).

>>61122247
It's for Chromecasts and similar devices, as well as smart TVs that support the same standard.

Just disable it.

Copy paste this in your browser URL and change it to disabled:
chrome://flags/#load-media-router-component-extension

Same with people who want it enabled on chromium, just copy paste that link and choose "enabled".

Thanks!

>>61123149
No problem.

>>61122187
Just press 'F' instead ya idiot

>>61122187
So what sissy videos are you watching on Youtube that is making you so paranoid that your parents might find out.

>>61122741
It'll ask you which device you want to cast to before it throws anything up, so as long as you aren't EXTRA fidgety, you shouldn't worry.

>>61122921
Pornhub has remote play, last I checked (last night).

>>61125394
I didn't know that, I use XHamster.

I once accidentally clicked this on pornhub and it started streaming German Goo Girls to the 80 inch TV in my parents basement, I could hear the moans all the way in my bedroom

Good thing I was house sitting and they were on vacation

That shit doesnt just magically stream to whatever it can find, you have to fucking select it.

put all of your non-computing devices on another vlan

>>61128262
it does if there is only 1 chrome cast enabled device on the network, turd burglar
