i don't understand why people don't just use revanced and ublock?

[-] timestatic@feddit.org 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I don't like having a google account that has google tracking any video I watch. Also... the recommendations are more addicting and with Tubular (NewPipe fork) and Freetube I just imported my subs and follow them a bit. Never had to deal with the shitty youtube website once. Also, ReVanced still uses the proprietary YouTube apk and I prefer free software on my phone

You're worried about Google watching what videos you watch, presumably while signed into your Google account on an android phone?

Unless you're running Graphene that level of abstraction isn't much in their way.

With no Google account, on Cyanogenmod?

On LineageOS build with no Google Service, download using Tubular/NewPipe/Seal/etc. Play on VLC. Makes for a better privacy experience.

Lots of trouble to build, but worth it. The lack of spam and other spooky things is telling.

Thanks for giving further info, there are lots of people that want more privacy but are uninformed on the depths of what's required.

I'm looking at moving to Graphene on my P7P but I don't have the time to spend migrating my data and losing access to my digital only debit cards among other things.

My server among many other services is running immich for photos, Syncthing + Keepass for passwords but there are many more services I'll need to spin-up to feel at ease leaving the Google ecosystem.

Even Tailscale I want to migrate to Headscale / Netbird. I'll eventually get everything where I want it but there are only so many hours in the day, and so much coffee and ritalin I can consume before it's two sleeps to Christmas.

It's baffling even with something simple like a DNS ad blocker - the volume of communication from my partners Windows laptop, her iPhone and my Android phone being blocked with no loss of functionality. I don't want to look at wireshark.

Never got revanced to work on my phone (in spite of reading all the documentation and online advice, doing literally everything that was supposed to make it work short of jail breaking or changing to Graphene) and as for ublock, I use it but I prefer YouTube on a dedicated client to a browser tab since I usually have far too many of the latter open at a time..

Besides, unlike revanced, NewPipe worked perfectly out of the box and it seems like PipePipe still does, so..

My main problem is that freetube perfectly remembers video position, without fail.
YouTube always fails

[-] dingus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Weird. I don't have that problem.

[-] baguettefish@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 month ago

I’ve had the same problem, in my case it was that my adblocker was blocking the domains used to track video position, which are mildly tracking-ish in nature.

*.video-stats.l.google.com *.s.youtube.com

[-] Mandy@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 month ago

unfortunately, this rule had little to no impact on youtubes ability to remember video positions

[-] baguettefish@discuss.tchncs.de 0 points 1 month ago

that’s unfortunate. have you also tried removing the *. prefix?

[-] umbrella@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago

even if you do, youd need an account
