YouTube warns it might make your viewing experience worse if you don't turn off your ad-blocker
(www.businessinsider.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Can't possibly make it worse than shoving ads from hate groups. On my computer, I use Firefox with adblock, but on my phone and tablet I had been using the YouTube app until a few days ago. Google decided to show me a PragerU ad on mobile, so I decided to switch to Firefox mobile to watch YouTube. And the app either moved or removed the 'don't show this ad' selection.
If you're using android you might want to check out YouTube ReVanced.
Look in to switching to a privacy respecting email. It's not for everyone, but i am very happy with the Proton suite of apps.
I'd advise against Proton - they're not good at actually respecting privacy and require a premium subscription to access your email over SMTP (making it much harder to switch away and locking you into their client).
Email isn't private. They don't scan your email for ads which is about all you can ask for
??
They strip all the tracking from the emails. I'll unsubscribe from ads, or turn off compromised addresses, but them not scanning my emails is a plus.
How is it not private?
Email as a protocol is not private. It wasn't designed to be.
Define private
Please expound on your thoughts. I happen to be a paid subscriber, cause I want to support them and I appriciate the extra features I get. So the issues with the free accounts arent a problem for me, but my friends who use the free account don't seem to have any complaints.
I think what you have in mind is YouTube Vanced. ReVanced doesn't use the MicroG Suite.
I've been using microg for ages both for voiced before it got shutdown by Google and for revanced
Nothing has happened to my account
Same I no longer use the YouTube app in my telphone
Newpipe is pretty good, you can get it through the f droid store
Check out Sponsor Block extension, if you aren't using it. It's really cool
Yeah recently starting using this and it's excellent, no more manually trying to skip over yet another nordvpn sponsor monologue
Fennec is Firefox for Android and it even supports uBlock, Dark Reader and others.
