Linux will never be close to the usage numbers of Windows sadly

Reminder that Orion is not open source, but it is made by a reputable company Kagi. They will make it open source soon though.

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

It doesn’t know your device model but it knows you’re using an iPhone, but yes it can use the width of the viewport size to narrow down just like a screenshot but It does not matter as much if you have a more common sized iPhone rather than having a iPhone 16 Pro Max which is completely unique. Most likely there are other alternative browsers that spoof the viewport size for iOS, like letter boxing in Firefox.

I just talked about screenshots as they are shared all the time and some people might not want other people to know what type of phone they are currently using, just general privacy.

For iOS devices, the model is not included in the metadata of a screenshot

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

It’s bad op-sec and general privacy. What if you don’t want anybody knowing you use a old burner phone? Some people even hide there timezone even though millions of people have the same one, RFP hides your timezone aswell. People don’t share there birthday even though they aren’t the only person with it even without the year. It’s about connecting the dots with multiple pieces of information, and this is one of them.

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.

What’s the point of using Return YouTube Dislike if it’s not accurate?

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.
