The most recent and I think hardest changes have been transitioning away from the google services because they are really good at what they do but the downside are the privacy concerns so in the end I don’t feel so bad about it. I just have to get adjusted to these new ones and I think it will be okay.
It took while to move out from the bitwarden and I’m glad it is finally done.
My current strategy is to keep the password file all the time encrypted and spread it to several devices. The most recent backup goes to cloud and from where I update it to the other machines and other backup methods. I don’t find it burden but actually fun because I know I have full control over them. Also, I wanted to move away from the browser extensions to be less fingerprintable and just use fewer extensions overall.
My long term goal which I will probably add here is that I focus more on the self hosting and services that are actually safe from leaks.
My another goal is to build linux phone from scratch and I have been researching this topic for while now. This is something I would like to build by myself. I would like to include physical killswitches too.
If you have any feed back or questions let me know
I recommend LibRedirect to make it easier for you to use the frontends. I think it blocks any network requests from the target site which is pretty cool.
Embedded redirection, when navigating within third-party websites
The former is what is the primary use case for LibRedirect, but embeds are a separate case. The term “target site” is ambiguous and could mean two options:
The main site, AKA, YouTube
Some random third-party site that uses YouTube embedded videos (or other embeds supported by LibRedirect)
The latter is not covered by default, it is opt-in, so for example, on Privacy Guides, if someone embeds a YouTube video in a topic, it will not redirect to an Invidious instance unless you have configured it to also redirect embeds as well.
