Well I think you'll never be pleased with a platform like this, and you're probably not the target audience.

Yeah that's totally fair enough and I can totally see that.

For me personally, even when it's to my detriment, I intentionally go out of my way to use Firefox because other than Safari, it's the last major independent browser engine and I want to be at least one user of it, if it helps keep it relevant. That being said, I feel that Firefox might become more relevant and arguably already has because of crap like this.

I think there's no tenable solution unfortunately, but for me personally, as a viewer, I'd be happy to watch a single start video ad if I knew a half decent proportion went to the creator.

But with the way YouTube is to the creators, how unfair and unbalanced they are with copyright, the clear vision that they're not doing things for the people but for corporate (removal of dislike count), I have no guilt continuing to block ads and essentially give the finger to the platform.

Once all the major creators I watch move to a better platform, I'd be rid of YouTube entirely in my life and I hope that's what happens on a major scale.

I used to be a KeePass user, but moved away because I was ultimately syncing the database using OneDrive, which I felt at that point it was a cloud password manager, which I didn't like for being open to the internet and entrusting the security of the company hosting it.

And yes, I moved to self hosted Vaultwarden with Tailscale and haven't looked back.

There is ThumbKey on F-Droid that, if you get good at the layout, I imagine would be ideal for that phone.

Oh my gosh. I have been trying to figure this issue out with my docker containers for months. If this is the fix, THANK YOU.

I totally agree, but where I have a problem (and I imagine a lot of other users here) is that you can't fully opt out. You can only set "minimal" tracking but not none.

Yes, it's probably pretty demanding of the hardware but my Pi4 4GB runs:

  • Heimdall
  • Portainer
  • Vaultwarden
  • Flatnotes
  • ownCloud
  • FreshRSS
  • Paperless

To add to that, even once you have a different browser fully set as default, links within Windows itself (Search, Weather, etc.) still open with Edge

This no longer happens in the latest Insider Dev/Canary builds to an extent, but I make the point anyway to show how anti consumer Microsoft truly is.

Unrelated to this post at all, I'm a bit out of the loop on this, is there something wrong with PDFs? Just wondering what the PDF warning is about, this just being the first I've ever seen that.

Legetimately that was so frustrating for them to kill off, I thought it so novel to browse compact Reddit on an iOS 6 device.
