You think using uBlock and a VPN while signed out with a good browser isn't good enough? Agree YouTube is heavy but only if you have like 8gb of ram with lots of videos open

Why can't you share screenshots? It's just general bad op-sec, obviously your phone model alone can't be used against you, but it can be used to connect the dots with other information. People send screenshots all the time, and you can still share a screenshot of something while having privacy.

Some people share screenshots without knowing they are also giving other data included, like there phone model or something close to it. Even if metadata is stripped

Wouldn't you have to do it constantly?

Is there a reason why you are not using the regular youtube? Just curious since I currently use YouTube website signed out on iOS. Invidious does not have recommendations aswell.

X is unusable without an account, It always nags you to make one no matter what.

Love that you mentioned Libredirect! I don't like how maps redirects to OpenStreetMap though, why not just redirect to Duck Maps, which uses Apple Maps.

I just watch YouTube signed out in Safari. It is very easy to build your algorithm from there. I don't mind the ads since I don't watch YouTube mainly on my phone and I occasionally clear cookies.

You can also install Orion Browser, made by Kagi creators of a privacy focused paid search engine, which supports Firefox extensions like uBLock but I don't think it is open source right now but It will be soon.

Opsec requires sacrifices. Friends ruin opsec.

Never install an app like Instagram on your phone, It will know your device even if you uninstall the app or use a different IP.

How old are you? Nobody uses email for regular chat

I agree with you. Social media has been normalized and you are not fit in society if you don't have any at all.
