Can someone please view the video for me, as I can’t be arsed to watch it. Who won, who lost?
You have to find an extension, that blocks specific javascript functionalities, like accessing the history.
This could achieve it (not tested yet):

BUT: If a site totally relies on it, it could prevent you from accessing some if not all of their content.
Same could be achieved by blocking js per site (via browser settings or an extension). Here it would come down to the same scenario if they don’t provide any non-js fallback.
Also APIs: Those things are just interfaces to interact with programs or (web) services. Say you wrote yourself a nice little program and want to open it up so that other programs would be able to interact with it: You would write an interface for it - to be more specific, an application programming interface (hence API). That’s what is enabling Apps like Sync to readout the lemmy servers or write to it, when you submit a post.
Some of those APIs are open, some restricted (like X or this other site we don’t talk about.).
I dont see the line “3rd party cookie blocking”
Must be a lost sibling of my silly tiger.
Edit: I like how he poses like “Have you ever seen such a nice one?”
That wasn’t a yes/no question
You don’t “use” the domain for reverse proxy but a server. Where the server is located at matters. While you can get a domain and a server from the same hoster both still are different things.
Think of a telephone number (domain) and a phone (server).
possible objection: No, this was a one time event!
My defense:
NO. Just NO! Stir it! Putting oil to the water will prevent the sauce to actually stick to the pasta.
Stir it up, little darling, stir it up.
Thanks!
