What’s the problem with Nord? I have never used one of their products so I’m not informed

I don’t think so, but that doesn’t stop windows from doing it

Apparently this is done to block browsers like opera to change the default browser without user consent, but I think this just makes it more complicated to change the default browser. Maybe they’ll add a pop up if an application tries to change it, allowing users to accept, but I don’t think that’s likely

There is Spotube which does that, just not on IOS

Yes

There is no free ad free Spotify on IOS to my knowledge. I recommend Brave browser for ad free YT/YTM/Soundcloud with offline playback. Or Yattee for just YouTube. Another option is the Swisscows search engine which has a integrated ad free music (probably also uses ytm)

Looks great so far. Would love to see this become something like Grayjay but as a website

Strongbox (OSS, but paid) is pretty good

Anyone know the title?

I tried to use it, but when I searched for stuff like “kdenlive reddit” it blocks the search because it may contain violence and pornography

Freetube

If you search DuckDuckGo: What’s my IP it shows it directly in the search

-Privacy friendly sites (no google, ddg/searxng and stuff) -VPN (Proton is private with a free tier, Mullvad for maximum privacy) -Fingerprint blocking in browser (Brave has it too standard, put it on aggressive)

Isn’t this illegal in the EU? They just forced MS to offer alternative search providers for their search, so this is basically the same thing?

The repo shows all the patches. It uses some patches from ungoogled chromium for privacy. It isn’t my recommendation here, I just mentioned it because Brave didn’t work for OP

Thorium is good for privacy and speed but not security, Vivaldi isn’t that private, ungoogled chromium removes everything google. Brave also has packages available for manual installation if you want to give it another try
