I use a userscript that will like a video (even if not subscribed) if I watch at least 80% of it. As for commenting, it really depends on the topic. Like, if someone needs help on a tutorial, yes. General videos like PewDiePie, no.

As for subscribing, a channel’s content must be interesting and not feel corporate. It always feels good when you find a new youtuber you like!

Question: with this introducing another party into these requests, wouldn’t this be exposing you to another company? If i recall correctly, Firefox connects to cloudflare by default.

So you’re mad because people don’t want to download another app and create another account, and generalizing a whole generation because they don’t want to use signal? You’re just bitter.

As an ad blocker/tracker blocker, AdGuard works really well.

They also have a “browsing security filter” which may be of concern to some people. This filter, similar to smart screen and Google Safe Browsing, will check to make sure websites aren’t in a list.

However, if you have it on, they have a section you can opt in (I think it is opt in) to send extra data to help with the security filter.

That telemetry may seem like too much for some people, but I think it’s the only thing in AdGuard products that collects data, and even then, it’s not for making the filter better and helping its development, not for selling data.

edit two weeks later: Fixed what I meant to say, thankfully people knew what I meant and upvoted.

AdGuard was founded in 2009; are you mixing them and AdMuncher up? (1999)

(wikipedia page only seems to be in russian for some reason; edge, chrome and safari should translate by default, Firefox, I think you have to install “Firefox Translations”)
