Aurora Store can be installed on any Android OS, even stock ones :)

Now finalize it by:

Requesting data exports of all they have on you
Deleting all data you can on your account
Deleting your actual Google account

Did that a few years ago, no regrets :)

My hate for Google grows by the day.

What do you use for movie recommendations? in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I'd recommend to use both.

uBlock does a nice job of blocking well known advertisements.

However NoScript, is more secure because it disables all JS by default.
While offering you an easy UI to (temporarily/permanently) whitelist individual components.

Keep in mind, this will cause rather heavy site breakage in the first few weeks of using it.
However that will get better once you whitelisted the bare essentials for the sites you regularly visit.

Most sites use 0 to 3 JS sources enabled in NoScript to read/work correctly.
While spy-ware/telemetry infested sites will ship with up to 15 or so JS sources.

It appears to require an account though?
Which I call a downside for privacy concious users.

I can see a lot of spyware on that site through NoScript.

If you use this site without blocking JS components then following parties will be spying on what you click, to sell it to the best bidder:

Twitter
Facebook
Google
TikTok
SnapChat

Still up for better alternatives.
But for now I've been using TheMovieDb.

https://themoviedb.org/movie

Then use the Filters section:

Select Genres you want to watch
Set User Score between 7 - 10
Set Minimum User Votes to 50
Alter the Filters more if you desire
Click Search

For power users, I recommend to use a plugin like NoScript though, to block Google/CookieLaw's hidden JS spyware on the site (they're on 2/3th of the web tho).

https://noscript.net

Beware, NoScript will break some sites,
and will require you to manually enable/whitelist JS (JavaScript) sources for sites + CDNs to fix this again.

Don't be hard on new Linux users tho. Even if they tweak their UI to something they're familiar with at the start.

Sugar, Salt, Fat, the perfect ingredients,
to cultivate obese addicts with failing kidneys.

But you're "loving it" right?
Same as I, why would that be?.. :)
