I would have used https://farside.link/ to point to a privacy frontend instead of Youtube directly.
But current tests show that doing so almost never results in a playable video.
So for now you get to visit the nasty spyware-filled Youtube interface. I hope that you all use browser addons that help you mitigate that.

    If only it worked on current generation hardware other than pixel and, iirc, fairphone.

    I used to love LineageOS, when I used it. But I seriously doubt the credibility of someone saying it is the ONLY sustainable ROM.

    The obvious answer here is GrapheneOS, which is much better supported in-general.

      I’m currently using Graphene. Their support ends when Google stops the support for the device irc.

      I enjoyed Graphene but I had to go back to stock pixel because it was noticeably slower.

      I don’t know why and I don’t know if that is still the case.

      Everything worked flawlessly though, very impressive. If ever I buy a new phone I will be using it again. The only limitation, for me, was performance.

      However, I try to use my laptop for everything I do, just gym/job and the dreaded occasional phone call.

    sustainable is a fucking meaningless buzzword at this point and i will not watch the video or open it in an external media player, but lineageos is indeed pretty good.
