... And damm it feels good! Before starting this step, I had to migrate to a better browser that respects privacy (Brave, because🖕Firefox, I mean Mozilla at this point doesn’t even want you to be safe on the web anymore!) And a better “Google-style” ecosystem (Proton is the best they have an email service, a calendar, a password manager and the holy drive).

The last step was YouTube. How to do without a Google account? Well, thanks to Piped + Yattee, the best combo I had a hard time finding. For those who do not know, Yattee is a great app that is an interface for Piped on Apple devices, besides, do you consider Apple to be respectful of privacy?

In short, today I am the happiest of men.

I don't hate you, I hate Brave. They use privacy as a marketing term and nothing else. Their CEO has said some questionable anti-science things in the past, and it's hilarious that they have their ad crypto BS enabled by default. On top of all of that, it's chromium based, and is still at least slightly tied to Google in that way. It could very well be affected whenever Google decides to release Manifest V2.
