  • Oh no, how unfortunate. Sadly, we don't have alternative YouTube clients like Invidious or Piped that can be used with LibRedirect to automatically redirect all YouTube links to these alternative front-ends. And unfortunately, you can't use LibreTube or NewPipe on Android, as well as Yattee with this guide on iOS, iPadOS and tvOS or SmartTubeNext on Android TV.

  • Use LibreWolf, it's Firefox without all the garbage like telemetry, Pocket or Sponsored Sites. It makes substantial privacy and security improvements and comes with uBlock Origin pre-installed.

  • Personally, I really enjoy LibreTube (Website, F-Droid link, GitHub). It is great for privacy as it proxies all traffic to YouTube through a Piped instance meaning you don't have to connect to YouTube servers and your identity won't be exposed to Google.

    NewPipe (Website, F-Droid link, GitHub) is another good option, but it makes direct requests to YouTube. There are also forks of NewPipe like NewPipe x SponsorBlock (IzzyOnDroid link) which just adds a SponsorBlock integration and there is BraveNewPipe which has support for more video streaming plattforms.

    Clipious (F-Droid, GitHub) is a pretty new app that uses the Invidious API to privately pull content from YouTube. I haven't tried it out though.

  • The British don't know anything about food either.

  • I was talking about middle/guard relays. The guide also refers to middle/guard nodes. I wouldn't run an exit on my home internet connection either. I use VPS providers for exit nodes.

  • Great reminder for people to run a node at home. I run 2 nodes at my house along with dozens of relays (including exit nodes) on different VPS providers. It's not that complicated, you basically just need a spare computer that can run 24/7 and an internet connection. It greatly helps the Tor network and the people in countries like Russia, China, Iran, etc. who rely on Tor in order to bypass censorship and safely browse the open internet. You can watch this video on the topic of running Tor relays at home: https://youtu.be/npg3cBJusnA

  • Why is a debate required for this? Everyone should agree on something like that.

  • Not sure what you mean but I use a Google Pixel with GrapheneOS, the most private and secure mobile operating system

  • Yeah that's the only kind of security they care about. Fuck Big Tech! And most importantly, stop using their garbage services.
