I just downloaded Libretube a few moments ago. After selecting a random instance, I entered the main interface and my cortisol skyrocketed when I saw trending videos tailored to my country, even though I was using InviZible Pro with Tor + DNSCrypt enabled. I rushed to Brave to check for IP leaks—IT WASN’T LEAKED! I checked InviZible Pro settings and found nothing SUS. How is this possible? I’m incomprehensibly confused!
LibreTube uses Piped. The region is probably set by the instance owner, it would otherwise default to US.
I tried changing instances, some don’t work and those which work lead to same trending feed. Im genuinely concerned about my phones network security. Is there any undesired vulnearability lingering, undetected, unnoticed?
Or did the app detect my timezone to determine my region? If so, what measures can I take to cover that up?
Never seen anyone say cortisol instead of stress high iq
Turn out it is set client side, should be configurable in the settings.
Seems to be fetched from SIM, ISP, language, and UK
as a fallback, in that order.
