Just enabled DDG’s app track protection to test it out. Had Nekogram opened for a few mins, and Google already made 234 data collection attempts. I know the Big Guys are hungry for personal data, but this is absolutely ridiculous.

    Check out newpipe for phone and invidious for browsers. Very happy with those services. However I’m not sure how they compare to current YouTube because I had stopped using it from like 8 years before coming across those services… So there may be some functionality loss I’m unaware of.
