Title says it all. I'll go first:

I don't really have any on my computer (all I use that for is Vim, Firefox, and Git), but on my phone: Orbot (basically Tor as a VPN on your phone).

Surprised no one's mentioned NewPipe yet

Links: NewPipe, GitHub, F-Droid. The vibe I'm getting is that it's a more lightweight, Google-less frontend for services like YouTube and Bandcamp, correct me if I'm wrong though, never used it -- but I've seen it a few times.

Thank you for adding links, I didn't think to. You pretty much have it spot-on, but also: no ads!

[–] jlow@beehaw.org 4 points 10 months ago

Yes! There's also LibreTube also available on F-Droid
