While I work on a new ThinkPrivacy site, I changed to a single page design for now to be the solution to what I think pages like PrivacyTools got wrong when nesting too many of their pages.
I hope this is even easier for people to access.

If you are using Firefox and YouTube seems slow to load you can speed it up (up to 5x) with this tweak in about:config.
-Open new tab and enter about:config (accept if prompted for warranty risk)
-Right click on any preference and go New>String
>As preference name copy/paste:
general.useragent.override.youtube.com
As preference value copy/paste:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:41.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/41.0
For darkmode you can install Stylus addon and pick theme you like.
@nikolal Thanks, buddy.
@meatstheanswer @tari_alfaro@mastodon.technology Are you using a fresh installation? I dont have these problems. But I did had issues with a broken addon in the past. It took Firefox 20 sec to start because of that plugin.
@tari_alfaro@mastodon.technology I'll check out Privacy Browser. Have you tried Brave on mobile?

Google intentionally slows down YouTube on Firefox by 80% by using old libraries that are unsupported by Firefox because they were deprecated.

Google disproportionately hits Firefox users with Captchas.

Google intentionally serves old version of Google Shopping to Firefox users, changing user agent to Chrome (while still on Firefox) fixes it.
