Yeah hard times for privacy focused youtube alternatives… I don’t have any issues at the moment with LibreTube on android. But it’s bases on the Piped api.
But a few months back there were less working servers. Maybe because of youtube’s new policy? Have to investigate invidious and piped github’s issue page
DuckDuckGo browser will block and list trackers and third party requests. I use it on iOS and there’s a desktop app as well. Not sure about android though.
Since SMS is already sent in the clear, I actually use Google Messages. For those who also have it, it upgrades the SMS to RCS with end-to-end encryption. Sure, it’s nowhere near as good as Signal (which OP says these people won’t use), but it’s better than plain-text SMS.
It stores your passwords in an encrypted file, then i use the random password generator, the browser extension and free phone apps to autofill everything.
(It is up to you to sync the file between devices)
The only privacy setting I can encourage on any social media site is don’t share private stuff about yourself and never link to your account from other accounts
That is part of the problem though. Proper privacy allows you to express what you want to, without self censorship. The issue is not: don’t speak about x, but rather: speak about it and feel comfortable that you can do it in a safe environment. I fully agree with the account linking though
I don’t think browsers are able to detect as much and easily as a dedicated website can. Anyway, these dedicated website detectors can also be used BEFORE visiting the site, providing more protection
