youtu.be seems to have is parameter in url when using mobile app #524

Description

@peltsippi

Just fyi. I utilised your good blocklist in my more manual static web page based approach and immediately spotted that youtube mobile app uses is -parameter and pc browser uses si -parameter. So the data.min.json spots the latter but not the former.

Suggested edit:
Now:
"youtube": { "urlPattern": "^https?:\\/\\/(?:[a-z0-9-]+\\.)*?(youtube\\.com|youtu\\.be)", "completeProvider": false, "rules": [ "feature", "gclid", "kw" , "si", "pp" ], "referralMarketing": [], "rawRules": [], "exceptions": [ "^https?:\\/\\/(?:[a-z0-9-]+\\.)*?youtube\\.com\\/signin\\?.*?" ], "redirections": [ "^https?:\\/\\/(?:[a-z0-9-]+\\.)*?youtube\\.com\\/redirect?.*?q=([^&]*)" ], "forceRedirection": false },

Suggested modification
"youtube": { "urlPattern": "^https?:\\/\\/(?:[a-z0-9-]+\\.)*?(youtube\\.com|youtu\\.be)", "completeProvider": false, "rules": [ "feature", "gclid", "kw" , "si", "is", "pp" ], "referralMarketing": [], "rawRules": [], "exceptions": [ "^https?:\\/\\/(?:[a-z0-9-]+\\.)*?youtube\\.com\\/signin\\?.*?" ], "redirections": [ "^https?:\\/\\/(?:[a-z0-9-]+\\.)*?youtube\\.com\\/redirect?.*?q=([^&]*)" ], "forceRedirection": false },

If you want to protect against links sent from smartphone apps this should be added too at some point.

Ps. thanks for really good blocklist! It made my day.
