Not by default, but then most Firefox recommendations are not made with the default settings in mind. Given that context, yes it is actually as privacy friendly as everyone says.

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I’m open-source, check me out at GitHub.

I’m not going to watch a fucking YouTube video. I’m getting more and more triggered over videos with some influencer on YouTube…

Information like this is much better suited as text, because then I don’t have to watch some person blabbering on…

I blame people’s shorter attention spans for it, to a degree I’m also guilty of it. Can’t read a book nowadays before my focus shifts somewhere else.

I felt this too and it was scary as hell. It means my brain chemistry has changed for the worse.

After sticking with it and forcing myself to read, it became better after a few weeks.

Maybe. On the other hand, it’s much more privacy-friendly than that guy says.
