Well, I don’t need recommendations for a start. I can see the appeal, but my subscription feed is good enough for me.
Also, YouTube is incredibly heavy in comparison, and I personally believe it’s better to avoid tracking in the first place than to jump through hoops to cripple or block it, so Invidious and yt-dlp are the obvious solutions for me.
It gives you an estimate. I haven’t used actual YouTube in a while, though. Just Invidious and yt-dlp.
I’d say use the website through Safari. Install AdGuard, SponsorBlock, and Vinegar, and it should be smooth sailing. Return YouTube Dislike is available as a UserScript.
Brave and DuckDuckGo also provide nice experiences with YouTube, but thry sadly do not have SponsorBlock or Return YouTube Dislike.
If you really need an app, though, give uYouPlus a try.
So I get up at 10:00 and stay in the woods until 22:00. Sounds marvellous.
Y’all are seriously still using the internet?
For those who don’t know, magnesium citrate solution is a laxative.
I believe Librewolf and Mullvad Browser change your timezone, either to UTC or to Atlantic/Reyjavik (for some reason; probably a bug on my end). Tor Browser likely does the same, but I’m not sure.
I’ll probably switch to LineageOS and harden it myself if GOS starts floundering, but that would be purely to get my money’s worth out of the hardware.
After that, I’d go for my alternative setup of dumb-ish phone + laptop + refurbished iPod.
Fairphones and TeraCubes are ethical hardware. Fairtrade, repairable, and possibly open-source (I’ll have to double-check that).
GrapheneOS is customisable, yes, but LineageOS is moreso.
Magisk is a tool used to root Android devices (essentially adding an
subinary to give the user root access). However, this makes the system inherently less secure, and undermines the whole point of GrapheneOS.
The only real downsides of GOS are that it only supports Pixels, and that it doesn’t support microG (I can see the appeal of Sandboxed Play Services, but I would personally have preferred microG).
- Privacy: GrapheneOS
- Security: GrapheneOS
- Customisability: LineageOS
- Functionality: (Subjective)
I would only recommend three groups of devices:
- Pixels
- Fairphones
- TeraCubes
31·13 days agoWill this affect Matrix? I use g24.at as my homeserver.
Sorta. It’s the same engine, but it is generally less private and less secure than actual Chromium.
DivestOS used to have some handy tables, before they shut down the website.
Huh, I didn’t know that. I wonder if any of the rest have implemented that since…

With one exception, all of my machines have 8GB or less, and I use a Firefox-based browser on desktop (Goigle deliberately slows down their services on non-Chrome browsers). Also, YouTube does have server-side tracking, and I need to be able to manage my subscriptions. I could use RSS, but I already have a reader installed for news and I don’t want it getting cluttered.
uBlock and Mullvad is a great combo, and I am known to use the main site if both Invidious and yt-dlp aren’t working; but the fact remains that Invidious is the inherently more private option.
