Fennec F-Droid

removes ff telemetry,
allows about:config changes,
you can enable dev mode for your own extension collection,
and it's completely open source

Do you have the SponsorBlock add-on installed? Most videos have user-submitted sections that it lets your skip. Also, a highlighted part.

They recently told me they're moving from Vercel to Cloudflare (Pages?), which is great because the former kept making me wait for a while.

I have a relatively large collection of songs I downloaded from YouTube, one-by-one, on my Android phone. I would like to download a lot more of the songs I like, with correct metadata and without having to manually edit the album cover art, artist, and more, on my Windows PC.

(Notes: I'd be ok with running another tool that allows altering many files, like Musicbrainz Picard. Looking at https://rentry.co/FMHYAudio/#audio-ripping, it seems I might've answered my own question, but I'm unsure. Do you know of better methods?)
