Gotta wait till augmented reality becomes a common thing like smartphones so you can use an adblocker software to hide ads to your eyes in public, haha.

Not even gonna name the source where you got that from? :P

Do you know any minimal Invidious UI you can run from a Podman/Docker container? Like just the frontend, so that I can use Firefox instead of that. I think having that as a base and adding the freetube features would be great.

Use your favorite search engine and you'll probably find something. Or self host a Piped instance. It's very similar to Invidious but imo even better.

I use a Synology NAS which I can access from everywhere as long as I have internet connection.

Yes. Your DNS queries will be sent to a group of DNS servers instead of just one and they all can respond. This helps lowering the latency and improves the reliability since not just one DNS server can respond to your DNS queries. The installation page of NextDNS uses the anycast IP addressess.

Huh? Discord is very much alive and popular.

Yes, that was also my post, haha.

A hard coded IP would mean it's unencrypted DNS which can be force-redirected to your router with NAT rules.

If it's just the newsletters that bug you then just use a filter that automatically deletes them.
I do this on my email account I use for websites I don't trust too much and will probably sell the email address for advertising purposes. Sometimes they then subscribe me to their newsletter and the unsubscribe button in the newsletter is often fake. So I use filters that delete them immediately.

This makes me so damn angry! This would even make all forks of Firefox unusable.

There are many reasons. One of the reasons is this sneaky one.

Then there's more than enough telemetry Mozilla makes use of in Firefox you need to disable in about:config where most users don't even look. Lookup the following options:

  • browser.tabs.crashReporting.sendReport
  • datareporting.policy.dataSubmissionEnabled
  • datareporting.healthreport.uploadEnabled
  • toolkit.coverage.endpoint.base
  • toolkit.coverage.opt-out
  • toolkit.telemetry.coverage.opt-out

Everytime you start Firefox it sends your location to Mozilla. Lookup these options:

  • Region.current
  • Region.home
  • browser.region.update.enabled
  • browser.region.network.url

These are just a few things Mozilla does and pretty much nobody talks about because they are considered trustworthy. But let's be real here: Trust is good, control is better. That's why I made some research about Mozilla and found out about the above things.
