basically Newpipe but only source available, not really free software or open source, so they are restricting your freedoms.

Just keep using Newpipe instead.

Telemetry, even if well intentioned, might end in the wrong hands (by a company acquisition, a data breach or a government request). And the data collected is probably enough to make cross referencing with other sources and identify you.

Why all the hate?

Have you read the article? They install their VPN before the user decides to use that service, when they could simply install it when the user decides to subscribe to their VPN.

I’m going to be downvoted for this but it’s recommended on privacy guides because they generally lack strict criteria with browsers. Both Firefox and Brave make automatic connections that shouldn’t be allowed.

I mean, as long as you visit libgen with https your ISP shouldn’t be able to tell if you’re uploading books. But yeah, if Tor doesn’t slow down the upload too much, it’s a good protection measure.

For checking on metadata, I recommend you to use Calibre. It allows you to view and remove undesired metadata and you might also use Calibre to automatically add the correct metadata to the PDFs so they are searchable in libgen’s database.
