We released a new version of Privacy Badger that updates how we fight “link tracking” across a number of Google products. With this update Privacy Badger removes tracking from links in Google Docs, Gmail, Google Maps, and Google Images results. Privacy Badger now also removes tracking from links added after scrolling through Google Search results.

YouTube is basically the only video platform where the vast majority video creators are gathered on. PeerTube and the likes are nice, but for the most part, don’t even play in the same league, IMHO. YMMV depending on the content you like to consume, of course.
I mostly use a combination of DDG/Brave, but I have to fall back on Google Search way more often than I’d like to find some things. Especially for local (geographically speaking) stuff or non-English content…
It sucks that they dominate so much, but it’s not particularly difficult to guess why your average person still use them, no?
I wrote this while drunk as fuck, and completely forgot that YouTube exists lmfao
You mean people don’t just live in a bunker in the middle of nowhere using Thor to browse Lemmy?
