What are the best piracy tips/tricks. I host most of my own media, but I want to be able to read paywalled news articles, watch youtube w/o ads am generally into privacy, etc.
Defo go for F-droid! Dunno if it’s baked into Graphene but I use it almost exclusively on Android.
I also recommend Firefox/Fennec with the Web Archives add-on for viewing paywalled articles. You will be depending on others archiving the full version to read them, but with most larger outlets they will.
Question about browsers: Do you have a preference of Firefox, Fennec or Iceraven?
Thanks for the tip about Web Archives. I’ll put that on for sure. Was considering sideloading Bypass Paywalls Clean and they mentioned Iceraven, which I had never heard of.
Edit: BPC link goes to a *.ru TLD. Link is also on the BPC wikipedia page. They previously got booted from gitlab and github.
I recommend Mull. It is security/privacy hardened Firefox and built by using Fennec as a base. Always use Fennec over Firefox because it removes telemetry, proprietary code, and strongly protects against browser fingerprinting. Comes with support for most (if not all) desktop Firefox extensions. I highly recommend using uBlock Origin, ask anyone and they’ll tell you it is the best content blocker available.
Another good browser is Cromite. It is security hardened Chromium with built-in ad/content blocking, decent fingerprinting protection, and strong site isolation. It doesn’t have support for extensions because upstream Chromium on Android doesn’t either and it is hugely complex to port.
