@jimmydoreisalefty, Andi is my favorite search engine, both on Desktop and Android, there I have it as a searchbar (PWA) on my homescreen and in Vivaldi by default. It doesn't have many search results, but these are instead the ones I look for, in the most reliable sources. Privat, anonimous, reader mode, no ads, no SEO crap.

@jimmydoreisalefty @3FingersOfMilk, Vivaldi Android has inbuild a own YT client.
Alternatively you can use Andisearch, which permits to watch YT and others, sandboxed in the search results.

@drekly, I don't use any third party client for social networks, less a proprietary paid one. It's like using a privacy browser, using Google as search engine. There are enough Spyware in the mobile which make trouble to eliminate, no need to install more.

But each one that makes him happy

@drekly, no ok, blocking trackers is legit selfdefense, but also the abuse of ads, blocking these also is needed. Only it isn't a problem when a web shows an banner image or two, this can be tolerated, but not the abuse of ads currently and annoying popups, it is legit to block this crap.

@Evkob @Gargari, this is not so clear, Mozilla has made a pact with the devil some years ago and is sponsored by Google, it even employs several Google devs who develop FF, the risk of depending on outside investors. Chromium is certainly from Google, but it is, just like Gecko, FOSS and therefore every browser developer is free to gut it, throwing out any Google API, which they are doing in Vivaldi (leaving some to the user's choice in settings), no homecalls to Google.

@drekly, simple ads are not a problem, if they are based on the content of the page and not based on user logs. Ads as is only can be somewhat annoying if there a lot in the page or they appears in the middle of a concert in YT, but no are a risk for the user privacy, no more than a commercial poster in the street or an ad in TV. As with all, bad the abuse. Years ago you saw 1-2 banners in a page, but novadays you must seek the webcontent between advertisings, banners, cookieadvices and popups

@drekly @Plswrk, nobody needs to work for free, but creating incommings by spying the user to sell his data to third party isn't an acceptable way to gain money. There are a lot of methodes to gain money in the network, but with surveillance advertising spyware is the worse and with big risks for the user, which can't control where his personal data ends up.

@ZippyZiggurat @drekly, it's called create incommings by surveillance advertising, I call it Spyware as is.
They sell your data to third parties, which apart of a violation of your privacy rights, is a big security risk, nobody can control how your data is traty and protected, several cases of dataleaks with even bank and medical data prove this. There are other methodes to create incommings which don't invade privacy.

Not this way

@normalmighty @RagingRobot, well, you can use front-ends like CloudTube, Invidious instances, Piped or an Desktop client like FreeTube.
You can also watch YouTube sandboxed searching the video with Andisearch and viewing it in the search results.
