Do not hide URL and force user to accept third party cookies

[MaximilianKohler]

I posted a list of URLs that people can click on to view the content: https://xenforo.com/community/threa...ople-tried-petitioning-search-engines.224903/

Xenforo automatically turned the Twitter links into "unfurled URLs" or whatever you call it, and now you can't even see or click the link without accepting 3rd party cookies:


This is terrible design.

1. I had no choice in the matter. I don't think it's a good format for bullet points so I wouldn't have chosen to unfurl the URLs.
2. I don't want to accept 3rd party cookies.
3. The original link should be visible and able to be copied and clicked.

I would suggest an optional "click to expand content" that can be used to manually unfurl the URL if someone wants.

Those are not unfurled URLs, they are media embeds.

Why was this closed?

I came across this in another thread and I opened up the thread in another browser since I do not want to accept 3rd party cookies.



This is what the other browser shows:


Merely the URLs... This is such bad design. I shouldn't have to accept 3rd party cookies to see and click on URLs.
