https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/About-%22Why-uBlock-Origin-works-so-much-better-than-Pi%E2%80%91hole-does%3F%22 You are not correct. Ublock Origin is superior for tracking protection and also stops the network requests. DNS adblocking cannot stop first party tracking or ads.

The only option (other than mitm-ing yourself and stripping ads from the html maybe) for blocking first party ads or spoofed first party ads is ublock origin on firefox

dns filtering can only block domains, ublock does full cosmetic filtering.

Android is moving towards upstream linux, and chromeos is moving towards using wayland + the linux version of chromium

Oh also for downsides like half the instances have dogshit uptime or are slow so I just use it as an index of youtube videos then play them in mpv

Invidious/piped are basically just privacy proxies for youtube that provide a lightweight frontend for youtube as well.

These apps seem pretty similar (although new and barebones): memmy https://testflight.apple.com/join/6jaRU6rD
