This one was so obvious, if you really need the /s to understand that I'm not being serious then you are dumb as fuck. You are the troll who responds to legitimate criticism with "shut up".

Sure, a userscript is one way of solving the issue. But native clients with built-in adblock are another, legitimate way of doing the exact same thing. I really don't understand your issue with FOSS YouTube clients like FreeTube, NewPipe and LibreTube.

What a great argument! You definitely convinced me and everyone else! Congrats!

Unfortunately it's broken all the time because it gets IP-banned by Google. Perhaps they could implement something like the Invidious smart-ipv6-rotator to prevent this.

Startpage is owned by an advertising company

They claim not to save your chats and not to use them for improving the AI model. Using GPT-3.5 Turbo through DuckDuckGo is definitely better than using your phone number to sign up for an OpenAI account, so yes, I think it makes sense to use this. But ideally, you could just run an AI model offline on your own hardware, I recently saw a Lemmy comment that explains this very well: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/comment/10348570

You can also use @[email protected]'s AI Horde as explained here: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/comment/9295041

They should really switch to Mastodon and host their own instance, just like the German public broadcast service: ard.social

That's not a VPN provider, just a protocol

It's owned by Kape Technologies, the same companies that owns other garbage VPN providers like CyberGhost and PIA

IVPN and AirVPN are also very trustworthy and pretty popular in the privacy community

You're fine, it's basically just rebranded Mullvad VPN

But at that point, you can just cut out the middle man and use Mullvad directly, I think their clients are much better and offer more features. They also don't require your email address and you can pay anonymously with crypto.
