Yes, yes, I know. I just added some more.

Just use open source ones, they're good. F-Droid to find/browse and I'm getting them directly from Github. There are some that you won't get there sadly, like for example music player called Namida (with YouTube player without ads) which I use.

Thanks, I did have F-Droid on my previous phone, but I'd forgot all about it. Now I have it again.

Ok, I just use my internet browser for YouTube on the phone as well (have to have adblocker and sponsorblocker).

If you're on android can you not just use revanced?

IF they want to know what you do - they will. Paying extra money to enshittify your dl speed is just feeding into propaganda. IPS either honestly don't care, or you're not using a good private tracker. Now, if you live abroad and want to watch your native TV shows that disable streaming outside NOR are on private trackers - that's when you use it.

One thing is my isp responding to local authorities request for my online activities, another is to make an international request to a vpn provider that states in the TOS they do not have logs.
And another is being able to use that in court.

I live in a EU country. Privacy laws here are slightly better than those in the USA. Might be useless for Americans but vpn services are, for now, useful here in my country.

Unskippable ads not allowed? Sounds great!

Not sure it's available for Tv's directly. I'd have to root my tv potentially just to watch YT without adds. Unless you mean the iOS device, then tbf, I don't watch YT on my phone, I use the computer fo rhtat where I have ublock origin

TVs with Android you sure can.
