Chrome not proceeding with Web Integrity API deemed by many to be DRM (9to5google.com)

The Chrome team says they're not going to pursue Web Integrity but...

it is piloting a new Android WebView Media Integrity API that’s “narrowly scoped, and only targets WebViews embedded in apps.”

They say its because the team "heard your feedback." I'm sure that's true, and I can wildly speculate that all the current anti-trust attention was a factor too.

Leaving google isn't hard.

Leaving YouTube specifically, however... Well, it's been getting easier as content seems to be less and less frequent or quality.

I use piped/newpipe etc. and simply support creators i watch via patreon/direct donations/merch. Less money for shitty ad company more money for creatives.

Maps is the last one to replace. There are so many ads now that I'll tolerate a lower quality alternative.

There's are some OpenStreetMap-based apps that are worth checking out. Some of them are made for specific purposes, while other are for general navigation. I've tried some of them through the time with various success, though I've still haven't found a favorite to stick with for good. But I believe making the switch is definitely possible and probably worth it!

You can install all the mentioned apps through F-Droid:

  • GraphHopper Maps
  • OsmAnd+
  • Organic Maps (hike/bike)
  • Alpi Maps (hike/bike)
  • SeaMapDroid (nautical)

Additionally, use Transportr for public transport navigation almost anywhere in the world, and GMaps WV, a restricted WebView wrapper for accessing the web version of Google Maps. Intended for use when OpenStreetMap isn't enough.

I use OSMAND

I can definitely recommend maps.me it's a great app with default offline maps. It was a great tool when traveling abroad without internet

Leaving YouTube specifically,

https://grayjay.app/

I've been using it. It's actually pretty great.

Nebula is a good alternative
