Can't use "showinfo=0" in YouTube embed

I know this might be a possible repost of this, but since that post didn't get any replies, I'm giving it another shot. I'm trying to embed a YouTube video where I want to hide the title and the share buttons at the top. The YouTube IFrame Player API docs lists showinfo as a valid parameter that could be set to either 0 or 1, where 0 hides the title and 1 shows it.

So one would think that <iframe width="640" height="480" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/v8_fEQOOMp0?showinfo=0"></iframe> would be possible. However, when I try this, it isn't working. The title still shows: JSFiddle

Other parameters like controls=0 and autoplay=1 are working fine. And what's interesting, the title is hidden when I try the JSFiddle above in Safari. So I'm just wondering. Does this have to do with the browser version? That some browsers ignores that parameter while others don't? I'm using Chrome 63.0.3239.132. Or is this a change that YouTube have decided on without updating the docs? Have I missed something?
