When the alternative is dealing with the absolute horseshit quantity of ads that YouTube desperately wants to shovel down my throat, I'll take Invidious any day of the week.
It may not be in perfect condition but it's still good enough to use!
Install the LibRedirect extension and fiddle a bit with the settings to automatically redirect to privacy respecting alternatives away from ad heavy sites.
NewPipe and FreeTube if you want YT subscriptions without ads
Addy.io or simplelogin for email account signups
Firefox Relay is another free email alias generator.
Proton pass is another
Duck Duck Go has a relay that lets you choose your email address
Proton acquired Simplelogin (or partnered?) so it's one and the same. There's a chance you may be able to get more aliases by using both the simplelogin and the proton accounts though...
A paid proton account can have infinite aliases
The limit for Proton itself is so generous I haven't needed to. I have an alias for almost every single online account I have, and it's all built in to the password manager. Very handy.
I have a my personal mail server send stuff to my aliases and they relay it to proton
Invidious works cross device in the browser though. Handles subscriptions just fine.
On Iphone its the only proper option.
I do run my own service, ymmv using a public one.
Install Freetube (which has sponsorblock already), then get the FreeTube redirect addon
Also setting the browser to forget all cookies.
sponsorblock, return youtube dislike
I've been using Ghostery for years now and I don't know whether or not it's still relevant.
I might start using Firefox once it has proper multi-account/profile features like Chrome.
I recently tried it but it's such a hassle to set up and switch between them.
I was able to get my profiles set up like chrome eventually. I'll have to remember what I did and post back
I did get multiple profiles, but it was still missing features that make it more accessible to work with like it does in Chrome.
It's almost there, it just lacks a bunch of definite features that would streamline it and integrate it better into the UI.
