And this is the main reason I don't like Qobuz
FB/Instagram is a for-profit ad-driven platform that relies on fearmongering to keep you addicted to the platform. Keeping yourself addicted to a platform like that and destroying your mental health with it doesn't help anyone but the corporation that runs the platform.
I use Ironfox also mainly for the plugins. I have the personal stuff on my phone over Tor since I don't want to pay for a VPN, and I've noticed that Ironfox is a lot slower than Vanadium/Cromite for that setup, which both also have JIT disabled
Librewolf has all of the good parts of Brave and none of the shitty parts
If all of the web engines enshittify, you can always curl the HTML/CSS/JS and hand-parse it. Might have suboptimal performance however.
Lemmy is a lot less addictive for me than personalized algorithm-driven TikTok/Reels/Shorts type stuff and has better quality content, but there's also a lot less content. I blocked internet access for Instagram and other apps on my phone and now I ended up on YT shorts on my computer also
Except then it makes you too depressed to do anything and now people are complaining that you're burdening them with your being depressed
My instagram has a lot of gay stuff and a lot of fake stuff so sure
Yes, but I never said you won't get pwned. I said that it would limit how it could be done and what damage it could do.
For instance, if you click a link and download something shitty, it can't just steal your auth tokens on GrapheneOS because all of that is isolated to only the program that uses them. Meanwhile on Windows/Linux there are tons of Python scripts that do that. It would take extra steps on GrapheneOS for someone to use social engineering to hack someone's Discord/Bank/etc account, which could be enough to prevent it for some people.
One example is on GrapheneOS, programs can't touch system files due to no root access, and they also can't access data files for other programs.

For algorithmic discovery, I use Spotube with the Listenbrainz library backend using their discover playlists. Sometimes I listen to playlists associated with communities I'm in, which are on Spotify so I also use Spotube. For offline listening I use Qobuz, although their DRM has broken it occasionally when I needed it so I want to switch that to Spotube as well once they improve their offline functionality and fix related bugs, or set up Navidrome.
