Have an amazifit too, just found out about this, spent the last hour configuring everything. Looks very promising.

Also, amazifit tools is complaining a bit about not finding zepp anymore but seems that everything still works, including Tasker integration

URLCheck could be what you’re looking for.

It acts as the default browser but then pops up a window to ask you where to open the link, does it every time. I thought I would be bothered by that part but it’s so much better. You get to choose to open in Firefox private mode even in the in app browser. Links here on lemmy open through Sync (and Connect if I’m not mistaken) open in app on Firefox private mode.

You can also remove trackers from URLs, choose the default app per domain, love it

Thanks for all the info, really good to know that’s a potential consequence of using these apps, I know they sometimes make multiple requests per video in parallel but naively I never gave it a second thought as potential consequences of that.

I’m not necessarily new to this, I’m trying to degoogle little by little. Ever since I started using home assistant I started thinking more and more about self hosting. I think their add-ons are a great way for the unexperienced user to easily start learning about self hosting small things (password manager, personal notes and wiki, etc).

Got a question, I just found out about LibreTube from this post. I use NewPipe on phone and FreeTube on laptop, but LibreTube’s UI looks really good so want to give it a try. Is “YouTube will know your IP” a concern in terms of privacy or because of something else related to them know your IP is using apps that remove ads?

I’ve never been worried about YouTube knowing I use another app to access their stuff, so just curious if this is “just” about Google knowing you IP or something more.

I know this is the privacy community and don’t want to downplay the “Google knowing your IP” part but curious about this and being so explicit on the app setting as well when you turn it on

Love Darren Korb, Bastion and Hades OSTs do it for me, they’re great. Although I do feel that generally playing the game does play a lot on your interest on the sound track. I’d say my only exception is the DOOM soundtrack, never played the game but man, that album is awesome
