I've noticed a strange thing on youtube where it doesn't find any search suggestions for the name "Peter".<p>When typing the name, youtube queries this uri:<p>https://suggestqueries-clients6.youtube.com/complete/search?client=youtube&q=..<p>Normally there is a list of results returned in place of the empty array below:<p>```[
"peter",
[],
{
"j": ..,
"k": ..,
"q": ..
}
]```<p>I've tried on different vpns, different browsers, different devices, different internet connections, incognito, tor etc...<p>Is this unique for me and is just an example of how well they "fingerprint" users, or does everyone see this result?
YouTube doesn't show "search suggestions" for Peter.<p>YouTube queries this "uri" when typing in the search box:<p><a href="https://suggestqueries-clients6.youtube.com/complete/search?client=youtube&hl=en&gl=en&gs_ri=youtube&ds=yt&q=paul&xhr=t&xssi=t" rel="nofollow">https://suggestqueries-clients6.youtube.com/complete/search?...</a><p><a href="https://suggestqueries-clients6.youtube.com/complete/search?client=youtube&hl=en&gl=en&gs_ri=youtube&ds=yt&q=peter&xhr=t&xssi=t" rel="nofollow">https://suggestqueries-clients6.youtube.com/complete/search?...</a>
Interesting finding! I have double-checked it via YouTube and behind the scenes, `aria-haspopup` becomes `"false"`; even the `spellcheck` becomes `false`!
