So is this for users who are physically located in the EU, users with an EU phone number, or EU citizens no matter where they are located? This is problematic for millions of people. Facebook should just offer a pricing model and let peop

On a related note, I'm surprised nobody mentioned the Clickbait Remover for YouTube addon. Highly recommended! It's on Mozilla addons (and probably Chrome, not sure): https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox&#

Oh! I had no idea it there was an Electron app for desktop. I've been using it on Android for years. I make a point to run it on wireless and mobile connections in every country I travel on. Also, I've made pull requests to https
