I switched over since I heard it was more privacy friendly than YouTube and have been using the platform for a while without issues, but this cookie banner just popped up. You can opt-out of things like “Access precise geolocation data” but a lot of other information is still shared by third parties and not opt-outable.
It seems “Reject All” is the correct choice here, but I’m not sure if it is the best choice for browser users who have to constantly log back into their accounts.
It seems like I will start using a YouTube frontend. It’s really sad that Google doesn’t have any competitors in this area.
Wait I thought you wanted to make videos. If not then there are various YouTube frontends with various levels of privacy. I use Piped/LibreTube but it’s probably the least convenient one out there. You can just use a VPN tbh.
YouTube was Google’s competitor, or rather the other way around. Then Google bought them. I can imagine they’d do that to others if they could.
i use freetube for desktop and newpipe for android and i couldnt be happier
FreeTube and LibRedirect, a match made in heaven.
