Anyway, I'm far from perfect here, I just am especially wary about not just tracking per se but what happens because of it. So, I absolutely hate the YouTube algorithm. It's the worst. Watch ONE video out of curiosity, and the algorithm guesses it should box you into that. Their algorithm CAUSED today's flat-earth movement: https://www.newyorker.com/science/el...n-a-flat-earth
So, I watch any YouTube via mpv or sometimes on NewPipe on my phone. I don't worry that if I watch something out of curiosity about what it is that some algorithm decides that I must *want* more of it. Same concern for reading. http://nxhx.org/maximizing/
Anyway, we'll see how it goes with the Nook. I'm optimistic enough. |
You can use searx with DDG too. Did you set your DNS over tls too? Prevents DNS leaks, DNScrypt is a good idea as well. I bought the Glow Plus you mentioned, the seller seems a little strange but I am happy to try it. If you want, you can also use your router to see what requests it makes online and then stop it in the hosts file.
