Exactly true in the newpipe comparison. Same with YT-dlp variants.

I'm an always on VPN sort of guy, but most are not. So yes the fingerprint tradeoff is one I accept within my ability to deal with inconvenience. Mostly upside at this point with no ads, just sponsors that slip through sponsor block.

My fingerprint it's perfect, but I know it's working as I can see other peoples feeds are more adaptive and directed then whatever I get. I know I have a hole when I see something spammy too.
