Materialious is a privacy respecting frontend for YouTube built ontop of Invidious.
When I tried self hosting it I kept getting trackers blocked by ublock. From just my self hosted instance I get 0 blocked, but with the materialious frontend it would keep climbing. I killed my instance when I reached 90 blocked. It was ublock in hard mode
Materialious contains zero trackers. Believe this was a issue with ublock falsely flagging local fonts as trackers or something, someone else open a issue on the repo with a similar issue. Feel free to review the source code for any trackers.
I assumed it was remote Fonts or something, I may try it again.
Materialious doesn't use remote fonts by default, only as a backup if local font loading fails. For some reason ublock in hard mode makes local font fail loading & remote font is used.
Interesting
You shouldn’t put ublock in hard mode if you don’t know the tech behind it.
Behind ublock or behind materialious? I understand what ublock hard mode is. It blocks all 3rd party frames, scripts, and just 3rd party in general. Minor benefit over ublock medium mode but important in my setup.
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
