    Thing is M$ is showing you the cloud as the first option to make you use it and buy more space when you need it.

    Google got sued for making the google the default chrome search engine without asking the user. I think M$ is doing the same with the cloud storage but asking you with a pen about to mark their option. And the programs don’t even remember you didn’t choose the cloud the last time.

    As far as I know piped gets the video from youtube and serves it to you so that youtube only sees traffic coming from the piped instance you are using. Using adblockers would give you the same benefits as using piped except for the anonymity. As long as tor gives you a good video quality, it is a better option than the frontend because you don’t have a piped instance knowing your traffic.

    I don’t like my traffic being fingerprinted by youtube but can’t handle the slow tor connections so I ended up using a frontend for youtube. The one I use is called Invidious.
