How anonymous is Newpipe?
I only use Newpipe with a Anonymous VPN. (Mullvad/Proton)
Is google still able to make a big profile about me?
Does Newpipe clear cookies so that if you restart you have a completely new session?
Is there something like fingerprinting in Newpipe? For example the Language or Settings in Newpipe?

The most anonymous way to watch YouTube is using Tor and Invidious.

I think that Newpipe is way better then directly YouTube, but google will still almost completely track you even when using a VPN.

I know I am not connected, because the APP shows me that there was an errror.

Thanks for the idea to reinstall. I will try.

Hi, I am currently using the latest Version of Graphenos which is available on the 4. October 2023 on a google Pixel 6a.
I am Using the ProtonVPN Free subscription. I installed the VPN Client using f-droid. It's also up to date.

I recognized that even tough I have in the Graphenos VPN Settings always on and always activated on which blocks any Internet connection without the VPN.
I tried out all VPN Protocols but always after a few seconds or a minute the VPN Connection wasn't connected anymore. But at the same time in the Settings in Graphenos it tells me that the VPN is connected, which is not true.
Now the "Block Every Internet Connection without VPN" feature doesn't works anymore and I can connect to the Internet without the VPN.
I tested it on 2 different Wifis.
