Search Risk – How Google Almost Killed Proton Mail (proton.me)

Google is excelling again - as the whole "uncensored" Big-Tech IT now.

The short summary is that for nearly a year, Google was hiding Proton Mail from search results for queries such as ‘secure email’ and ‘encrypted email’. This was highly suspicious because Proton Mail has long been the world’s largest encrypted email provider.

Use them at no benefit to them. Obviously, don't buy yt premium.

I use Grayjay. Get it from the grayjay website and sideload it instead of through the apk store. Updates come quicker. It gives you commercial free YouTube, pretty much all the premium features, and let's you download vids.

I already use Tubular, and I have been using NewPipe (or the fork Tubular) since the very first alpha.

Grayjay doesn't work well for me since I'm subscribed to over 1000 creators and they force rate limiting over 200, which makes it completely unusable for my usecase.

Wow. 1000? I subscribe to like 10. Lol

My grayjay hasn't worked for a couple of weeks now, "block attempt detected" warning and then the video starts over.

I had a similar issue, but I google searched and found a setting I had to redo or change and it's worked fine since then. Afraid I don't remember what I had done. It was like a month ago and late, but it's been problem free for me.
