I wanted multithreaded ffmpeg running in a browser tab. What I got, several steps

later, was a site with zero third-party scripts — no analytics vendor, no font CDN,

no embedded video, no chat widget. Not because I took a principled stand on privacy.

Because the platform stopped allowing them, and by then it was too late to argue.

Here's the chain, because each link is obvious in isolation and the destination is not.
