[Enhancement/Feature Request] Add confirmation page when leaving invidious to connect to youtube instead of immediately connecting to YouTube.

Is your enhancement request related to a problem? Please describe.

On at least 10 separate occasions, I have accidentally clicked/tapped "Watch on YouTube (Embed)" .

And also when I'm reading the comment section on links(text based web browser) using &nojs=1 , I have accidentally clicked/tapped on [YT] which links to the comment on youtube .

Describe the solution you'd like I do not want to accidentally ping YouTube servers. Please implement a confirmation ~~box~~ page before connecting to YouTube.

A confirmation ~~box~~ page like...

** "You are leaving Invidious to visit <insert YouTube/comment link> . Are you Sure?" **

** "Yes" Or "No" **

Click "No" returns the page back to where the user was before.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I know modern web browsers(Firefox/Chromium) allow for editing the CSS, so I could just find the element and {display: none;} in Stylus, but this won't work in text based web browsers like links.

I realize this is entirely a user error(my error), and I've tried to be careful not to click YT links, but I've failed so many times now. So I thought I'd propose this feature request. Please consider it.

Thanks!
