Now that Google is officially throttling Youtube and other apps, remember that this company needs you on chrome so that they can track you. Youtube is throttling w/ this little guy (in the polymer script)

e.appendChild(h);h.classList.add("html5-main-video");setTimeout(function(){e.classList.add("ad-interrupting")},200); setTimeout(function(){c();a.resolve(1)},5E3);

If you can take my word for it, this is a 5 second timer on any browser that isn't Chrome. For no particular reason other than fuck you, use chrome

Consider Firefox w/ a User-Agent Changing Extension. At the bare minimum, use a password vault and 2FA on CS so you don't run the risk of large data "breaches" exposing your Computershare credentials.

Follow these steps to have the faster and safer option.

Top Right 3 Bars -> Settings -> Privacy -> Strict

And just below that, make sure you check "Always"

Scroll down a bit more, uncheck saving passwords, and click into Saved Logins... and remove the logins there.

Just a bit further down, uncheck both of these if they are checked

Lastly, HTTPS-Only Mode will help prevent weird certificates or sketchy unencrypted sites

If you've read this far, I personally use uBlock, Dark Reader, Bypass Paywalls Clean, FoxScroller, a User-agent Switcher/Manager, and MetaMask. I'm sure the community has plenty of other fun extensions, especially those that Google try to code around such as uBlock.

If you need a chrome like experience, Vivaldi for Android uses that engine and has a built-in adblocker to turn on in Settings.

For passwords, the KeePass system uses a file format that can be opened by different apps, I count 8 apps just on FDroid. There are apps for desktop OSs as well.

For youtube, try NewPipe, so far still working, has a download button built in.

For Firefox on Android, I use Fennec from Fdroid, has a lot more search engunes built in and FDroid will update it.
