Uninstall Facebook, install AeroInsta and YouTube Revanced, and use DuckDuckGo

Is there a app like AeroInsta but just for Facebook Marketplace? Where I live, it's the only way people sell used things

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How often do you use it? I'd just use a browser if possible

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Unfortunately I need it daily for work ;/

I'd love an alternative, but... You know. Gotta pay the bills and share my life with the zuck

That's why I don't delete my account. It's thankfully rare anymore but I have to use it for ad reports occasionally

I absolutely despise FB marketplace around here, it's full of scams and stolen goods

In my area it's good, the only problem is that it's the only way to found used things here

does aeroinsta and revanced make any privacy improvements?
I'd say to use newpipe for youtube as it is better for privacy(uses youtube scraping instead of official api so youtube gets minimal telemetry back from you) and insta lite as it is focused on cheap phones so it probably has less trackers for smoothness
also they aren't as visually pleasing so you won't be addicted to doomscrolling (instsagram lite on purpose shows you only posts from last 3 days on your feed)

AeroInsta outright blocks the trackers. I've never seen a search related content on Instagram because of it.

Revanced, alongside paused history and opt out of ad personalisation, keeps entire history to yourself.

Even YouTube on web can only recommend videos based on my subscription and nothing else.
