You don't have to use Google services. They are fully optional, and not installed by default. AOSP/GrapheneOS without Google services is very usable, there are only very few things you can't do without proprietary services. You still have the option to create a separate user profile (which are also improved by GrapheneOS btw) to install Google Play services, and keep it isolated from the rest of your apps and data.

How would you pirate macOS? It's free (as in beer)

Yes

It's great. It's essentially Firefox, but without the unnecessary bullshit like Sponsored sites or Pocket integration, and it has some quite significant privacy and security improvements. Also comes with uBlock Origin pre-installed.

You don't need to compile it. There's a librewolf-bin package which provides a precompiled binary, or you can use the Flatpak.

Added it to the list.

Linux Mint XFCE

LibreWolf is much better for privacy, it's specifically optimized for that. It also ships much less bloat by default.

Have you tried Strawberry?

It also works over NetBird or Tailscale btw, which makes it really awesome

Unfortunately it's not FOSS, just source-available

Tubular is a fork of NewPipe that includes SponsorBlock and some other cool features. LibreTube is a more modern alternative, which uses Piped on the backend, giving you some additional privacy, It also has SponsorBlock support built in.
