We had a TV report about a photographer who actually transfered big files with via horse because the transfer over the internet was slower than a calm ride. (Germany - 2021) link for Germans

I can also recommend Libretube or Clipious for Android

Some OSes allow per app firewall, so the easiest way would be to disable network connection for that app in the android settings.

UBlock Origin is the name of the extension. My autocorrect messed it up ^^

Problem with that is, idcac accepts the cookies, ublock blocks the banner and thus you havent given consent and no cookies should be placed. Note that some websites might collect data regardless but there’s nothing much to do about it. ¯_ (ツ) _/¯

6 adblockers?! Have you looked into uBlock origins customisable block lists? You can combine at least 3 blockers with that. Additionally you could add custom block lists.

Edit: clarifications and spelling errors.

iirc, they already had to impelement, that you can choose the default search engine in Androids first setup.

The killer feature is cookie containers, aka no cross site tracking by default.

If that is your mindset, you’re definitely better without root. My phone is rooted for three years now and never had any issue. I never had an app fail with my methods to hide Magisk. I even got GPay and contactless payment working when I still had Google services installed. Without them, it is impossible unfortunately.

What? There is a module for that called SafetyNetFix. I am fully rooted and can usw any App I want.

You’re only partly right. You example services. Of course it is not possible to own services. Piracy is only applicable to products. The point of the Twitter guy is, that companies intentionally stop selling their software etc. as products to sell you the same thing as a service, so that you cannot own it.
