… And damm it feels good! Before starting this step, I had to migrate to a better browser that respects privacy (Brave, because🖕Firefox, I mean Mozilla at this point doesn’t even want you to be safe on the web anymore!) And a better “Google-style” ecosystem (Proton is the best they have an email service, a calendar, a password manager and the holy drive).
The last step was YouTube. How to do without a Google account? Well, thanks to Piped + Yattee, the best combo I had a hard time finding. For those who do not know, Yattee is a great app that is an interface for Piped on Apple devices, besides, do you consider Apple to be respectful of privacy?
In short, today I am the happiest of men.
Brave runs on the Chromium engine, which is a Google product. Soon, Google plans to drop Manifest V2 and roll out Manifest V3, which might stir up a lot of trouble. Each browser will have to deal with Manifest V2 on its own.
On the flip side, Firefox rocks its own engine, making it Google’s decision-free zone.
If you’re not feeling the Mozilla vibe, you can hop on a Firefox fork like LibreWolf. These forks cut ties with Mozilla, giving you more control over browser settings and beefing up privacy.
