@dragonsidedd @tusker Obviously it’s important for people not to depend (too much) on YouTube, but it’s also risky to assume that another platform is “good” just because it’s not YouTube.

Also, while uBlock is very good, I don’t think it blocks (by default) GoogleTagManager or Google Fonts or JS provided by Google, because many web sites will stop working properly if everything Google is blocked and average users don’t like that (They’re still blissfully using Google search after all). Once a monopolizer starts controlling things, it’s not easy to undo that. (Cloudflare is also polluting > 10% of the websites now, getting worse and worse.)

Good points, it is best to use a privacy focused browser not just an extension. Mullvad browser or Brave, they have additional anti-tracking features.

Odysee does not censor or shadow ban like YT, and has crypto integration, so it is a better alternative not just because it's not YT.

As for search, google and even duckduckgo is complete trash, if you search for anything controversial it will never show you anything but mainstream approved info.

Presearch.com or search.brave.com are better
