If privacy matters to you, you should at least be using a JavaScript blocker/whitelister such as NoScript. With this, the entire page is readable and there is no popup; no first-party cookies are added as far as I can tell (and I have Firefox configured to block all cross-site cookies, which doesn't break this page); and the YouTube video is replaced with YouTube's "Error 153" placeholder with a direct link to the video.
