I’m going insane. I cannot for the life of me find a suitable way to listen to music privately. I’m on iOS, and I don’t know whether to just stick to Apple Music or give up on music in general (I tried, TRIED to go local, but all the apps are shitty). Any way to listen to music and not have your data compromised? Should I just stick to Apple Music and hope that laws change (maybe something like EU’s DMA?)
Self-host your library? I don’t know why that seems so hard, going by your phrasing.
If you absolutely must listen to music online (I empathise, I need to do so to find new music), here’s what I do: Librewolf with Ublock Origin, Cookie Manager, Dark Reader, NoScript + music.youtube.com.
No advertisements, minimal tracking (because you will explicitly disable every other script than the one(s) required to stream music). Use a VPN and fake your user-agent/browser fingerprint for more privacy (haven’t done it since I can’t figure out how to do so for Firefox).
Cheers
Do you really need NoScript when you already have Ublock Origin installed? Kinda obsolete imo.
They have different purposes. I use both since I don’t want to run proprietary software if I can help it, but if I do have to run it it better not have any ads.
Gives me more granular control over JS, UblockOrigin doesn’t let me control individual JS elements
