Good luck to your brother. I didn't get it :/

I want llama 2 to kill it

It's true, but it's also not an excuse. They broke the law because they were unlawfully collecting this data without explicit consent. They should absolutely be getting fucked for privacy violations.

I recommend the NewPipe-Sponserblock instead of default Newpipe

So does Neostore and Droid-ify. Those are worth looking into.

Not sure about neostore, but droid-ify takes like a half a second to fetch repo updates, and fdroid takes me like 10 seconds.

I have a lot of complaints about this too, but namely lack of seamless updates is baffling to me.

Luckily I found Droid-ify and solves both those problems. Also has the common repos frequently added, like IzzyOnDroid, easily pre-available to enabled in the settings.

This definitely replaced the archaeic fdroid client for me, they desperately need an overhaul as it's a terrible first impression.

Good, upgrading every 2 years is completely unnecessary now and generates a huge amount of ewaste.

Got a big job interview. It's down to me and one person and I feel like I have the edge. I (hopefully) find out the results tomorrow! I desperately need the money lol.

Has all the telemetry, analytics, and pocket crap removed, and some proprietary blob or something lol. I know if they ever add more spying stuff the future that it'll automatically be patched out in the fork I use. Besides that, it's the exact same experience. Even Firefox Sync works which I use.

On top of that, it's available on f-droid so it doesn't rely on Google Play at all, which is very important if you're trying to minimize Google stuff on your phone.

I'm on grapheneos and set my private dns to dns.adguard.com like the other guy suggested (also set it on my router too!)

I use Fennec (Firefox stable fork) from fdroid and it has the uBlock Origin extension, and I go hardcore and enable every single filter except the language filters lol. DarkReader extension also is super nice and is set to my auto enable on my system color setting.

Also I use noScript and go to the settings and enable "temporary allow top level domain scripts" and it allows a good amount of sites to work without having to manually allow extra stuff. There's still a lot that break, but much less breakage then blocking all js by default. I would skip noscript altogether if you don't want to manually enable js files and keep tweaking until the site works. It's really overkill for everyday browsing.

Using Mull browser (also on fdroid) too if you don't mind some breakage, it's Fennec but with arkenfox.js, so basically all the maximum privacy and anti-fingerprint resistance settings enabled. I don't really need that level of privacy, and Fennec + uBlock Origin is private enough to me to defeat all the trackers and it "just works" without ever tweaking anything on any website.

Bonus tip: try out Droid-ify app instead of fdroid. The fdroid app is super archaic and Droid-ify is an actual modern version with seamless updates for fdroid apps.

Bro you are dense. I can say water is wet when I'm asked a completely different question, doesn't change the fact that doesn't have anything to do with the question asked. I didn't bring up if free speech is applied to private spaces, that's an entirely different comment that nobody said, we already know the answer, hence why it wasn't asked. I asked why you specifically, don't think that should apply, which is why I asked that. You didn't read correctly, and was asked three times now and are still avoiding the question for some reason, you either do or don't support it and you are avoiding stating either which is the whole fucking point of this thread, and now it's a waste of time because you don't want to share your opinion for the sake of downvotes?
