Na, I'm still using a TV from 2009.

Bit of a different solution:
If Paperless-NGX is one of the things you self-host; it has options to import emails based on your specified criteria, then you could have it delete each piece of mail it imports. You can also just have it move mail to folders on the mail server, or just tag/flag mail instead of deleting it. (for you to then manually delete at your leisure)
I use this to automatically import receipts, bills, work documents, and any other regular mail instead of dealing with it manually every week/month.
The default Samsung Calculator doesn't display a privacy policy (or any menu options really) in-app, but you can find them as a link at the bottom of the 'See Details' page under 'Data Saftey' on the play store. Annoyingly, it's just a generic set of terms that covers most of their products/services. That document says they collect and share all sorts of data, but the store page for the calculator say no data collected.
Haven't had any issues yet and it's been blocked for at least 4 years now. Everything just happily uses the DNS servers specified by DHCP.
Two piholes at home (redundancy). Those both translate all regular DNS requests to DoH using Cloudflared which rotate through 4 non-isp upstream DoH providers.
The router is set to block all port 53 traffic from leaving the network and handout the 2 pihole IPs to dhcp clients for dns. If a LAN device wants regular dns, it MUST use the lan servers or it'll get no response. (or it can use its own DoH setup and/or vpn out of the network). This enforces the ad/telemetry/malware blocking lists pihole uses without having to configure dns on everything.
Those piholes also keep lists/records in sync using Gravity-Sync. Should I change ad lists or add/remove lan dns records, I don't have to do it on both.

TIL Horses are plants. Devious, conniving plants at that.
Ah, I should have double checked the community.... Got here from /all.
No, it's not explicitly privacy friendly. It's mainly focused on a wide variety of optional UX changes, returning several paywalled features like PIP/Background playback, and removing advertising as well as providing sponsor block.
If you're looking for an ad-free client that still works right now; In the 6 years I've been using YouTube (re)vanced on android, I've only had it fail to play videos for 1 single day around 6 months ago. That was fixed within 24hrs.
Not quite the same as a full custom instance/frontend like piped; but it'll do the job while you wait for updates.
They are more secure than password authentication, though how much more secure depends on how the user manages their passwords.
If a user never reuses passwords across different services and maintains long complex passwords, preferably randomized strings; the security upgrade of Passkeys is quite marginal. Arguably marginal enough to not even bother. The farther a user gets from 'ideal' password security practices though, the more of a security upgrade Passkeys would be for them; though convincing them of that is another story...
Switching to Passkeys does take a lot of responsibility off of both the user and service provider. The user no longer needs to ensure passwords aren't reused, insufficiently complex, or already compromised; and the service provider doesn't need to worry about leaking your passkey as they only have the public key portion which can't be used to login as you.
In some ways they can be more inconvenient though. With a password, even long unique complex passwords stored in my password manager; I can open the password manager on my phone, read the password I want, and manually enter it into an unfamiliar or shared device without having to load my entire password/key vault onto that device. Passkeys make that impossible; essentially forcing you provide the whole vault to the device or give up. It is also a big step for people that aren't familiar with password managers and are used to just remembering their passwords, to then switch to a passkey manager where they can't use their memory to login anymore.
There's good sides and bad sides to everything really. Some people will prefer one way, some will want the other way. Ultimately I think we'll get pushed into using Passkeys by most companies, just so they can shed some of the responsibility of keeping your credentials secure. A stolen passkey database, unlike a password database, would not allow you to pose as users, which leads to less claims of fraudulent activity.
Yeah, 2.5+ years since the last release?
Somehow I don't think this has survived youtubes client war...
