  • With one exception, all of my machines have 8GB or less, and I use a Firefox-based browser on desktop (Goigle deliberately slows down their services on non-Chrome browsers). Also, YouTube does have server-side tracking, and I need to be able to manage my subscriptions. I could use RSS, but I already have a reader installed for news and I don’t want it getting cluttered.

    uBlock and Mullvad is a great combo, and I am known to use the main site if both Invidious and yt-dlp aren’t working; but the fact remains that Invidious is the inherently more private option.




  • Well, I don’t need recommendations for a start. I can see the appeal, but my subscription feed is good enough for me.

    Also, YouTube is incredibly heavy in comparison, and I personally believe it’s better to avoid tracking in the first place than to jump through hoops to cripple or block it, so Invidious and yt-dlp are the obvious solutions for me.

    I’d say use the website through Safari. Install AdGuard, SponsorBlock, and Vinegar, and it should be smooth sailing. Return YouTube Dislike is available as a UserScript.

    Brave and DuckDuckGo also provide nice experiences with YouTube, but thry sadly do not have SponsorBlock or Return YouTube Dislike.

    If you really need an app, though, give uYouPlus a try.









  • Oh, I see. My apologies. I couldn’t quite understand what you were saying back there.

    Yes, there are a few packages missing. Notably, Micro, Mullvad Browser, and Librewolf are not in the repo or ports tree. I am also having trouble building mle from source, and of course things like Steam will probably never be available.

    However, there are plenty of packages that can be substitutes for a lot of Linux software.
