Updating your filter lists in uBlock Origin should fix it. Nevertheless, there are better solution for watching YouTube videos without Google's crappy ads and trackers. There are private frontends like Piped and Invidious, you can use LibRedirect to automatically redirect all YouTube links to your desired frontend. You can also use a native client like FreeTube on Desktop, LibreTube or Tubular/NewPipe on Android, Yattee with this guide on iOS, iPadOS and tvOS, SmartTube on Android TV or this app if you have an LG TV running webOS.

There's Yattee for iOS, just use this guide to set it up.

But Nitter doesn't work anymore, does it?

Ok then by your own logic you are only allowed to use Linux From Scratch and you also have to compile your browser yourself. You realize that what you are saying doesn't make any sense at all, right?

God damn, please remove these pesky ?utm_ parameters from your links. They make your links unnecessarily long and your comment becomes pretty annoying to read. You don't even have to do it yourself, just click on "Copy Link Without Site Tracking" in Firefox. Make it a habit to always use this option. If you don't want to deal with it at all, install the ClearURLs addon or enable the "AdGuard URL Tracking Protection" list in uBlock Origin.

Unfortunately AOSP (controlled by Google, keep that in mind) doesn't provide an API for RCS messaging. That means, you can't use a third-party app. Google doesn't allow you to use a third party app because they want to force you to use their proprietary garbage.

No, iMessage is a completely separate protocol and has nothing to do with SMS. It uses WiFi/Cellular data, unlike SMS. It doesn't involve your mobile carrier at all, it all goes through Apple's servers. They just put iMessage (which is basically like WhatsApp or Signal) and SMS into the same app and made everything confusing and annoying to use.

Use Fossify SMS, QKSMS or QUIK SMS (updated fork of QKSMS)

If you're tired of all this Google bullshit, switch to a better Android ROM like GrapheneOS or DivestOS, these don't include any of Google's proprietary spyware and improve your privacy/security.

That's why I mentioned DivestOS, it's built on top of Lineage but has much better security (including the ability to re-lock the bootloader). It supports many devices, including some older devices.

Unfortunately it currently only works with Google Pixel devices, but it does support the Pixel Fold, as all the foldable-related code is included in AOSP (which GrapheneOS is built from)
