      It is important to have backups for when Youtube blocks clients, but I just watch it over a VPN and Freetube or Grayjay. Not leeching any resources when avoidable, just costing big brother money.

        You’re giving all your data to your VPN company, though

            And give no personal information? Like Mullvad? That is an improvement.

              Yup. Also their VPN app on Linux is better than what KDE and GNOME have. Poorly. They hook into it very intensely, early boot blocking via a systemd service and all.
