My pleasure! I just put up the post, all credit goes to all those who commented and recommended these new options! Brave is great! Never heard of new.pipe but will look into it, thank you! Yeah, that's why it's tough for me to move to an alternative because many of the creators I enjoy watching are only on YouTube...

Alternatives to YouTube?

Thank you for this publication which compiles a lot of new options to investigate... for now I think the same as you, searching and learning how to ungoogle myself, step by step.  and I've been using Brave to avoid YT ads and I've recently been using New.Pipe as an option to drop YT.  But it is true that many content creators are still on YT and that makes it difficult to stop using them.
