I think switching to Firefox is the easiest of all. You are not logged in with your Google account all the time which I would think is a big deal.
My problem would be YouTube. I spend way too much time there and none other site has half of the content.
- jmngomes 8y agoPerhaps creating an account for Youtube only and/or browsing it inside a Firefox Multi-Account Container [1] would already go a long way. [1] https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/multi-account-containers/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/multi-account...
- some_account 8y agoYou can browse the entire YouTube site and play videos without any cookies even enabled. If you don't have cookies, there are no logins by default. I've been experimenting with this and almost all sites work fine without any cookies these days (as long as you don't need to log in).
- aloisamae 8y agoI like to use youtube-dl to automatically download videos from channels I want to follow (subscription feed replacement) and use hooktube to watch YouTube videos without providing Google with data. I haven't found a problem with that till now except for discovering new content (hooktube isn't that good with that, I found), so for that I have a YouTube only account that is pretty much disconnected from me in everyway (even IP address wise through VPN) made with non-real info. I hope that gives a few ideas for media consumption without sacrificing privacy :) PS: I cannot add links to youtube-dl and hooktube because I'm on my phone, I believe a quick search can provide them.
