- Comment on Bitchat is a new private Bluetooth messaging app that doesn’t need the internet – here’s how it works 1 week ago:
As the TechCrunch article I shared says, that warning was added only after the multiple vulnerabilities listed were found and publicised, and the original article in this post didn’t mention the vulnerabilities either.

I am not sure if it is possible, to be honest. I decided to move as I saw a lot of the YouTubers I follow do sponsored segments on nebula, so I knew I was going to find at least them in there. If I do find any kind of page or tool to find out I’ll share it here

Yes, I forgot to clarify that. I decided to pay for a nebula subscription, which is creator owned, and to try and stop using YouTube as much as I can.
I know this isn’t an option everyone can take, but for the ones who can, I think it sends a clearer message to YouTube and Google than any ad blocker, if you don’t respect me as a viewer I’ll stop using your service altogether.

Finally subscribed to Nebula a few days ago. Between a third and half the creators I follow are there. I’m planning to move away from YouTube entirely, even if I can pay for premium or block ads I want to make the statement I don’t support their service anymore.

Not only is Ghostery redundant when you use uBlock Origin (you can choose the tracking removal lists, like EasyPrivacy, for example), Ghostery has a conflict of interests as it works with the ads industry at the same time it has this tool, and it reports the ads and tracking it finds back to advertisers, who can then make them bypass that detection better.
If you insist in a separate add-on, Privacy Badger does the same blocking of trackers and it is maintained by the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a non-profit for digital privacy.
