If the only reason google doesn't have a monopoly on web standards is because firefox "exists", then I think Google does in fact have a monopoly on web standards. Other browsers exists besides chrome and firefox ones, some like Konqeror even work pretty well for how old they are, but I think firefox is eventually going to see the same fate as netscape slowly becoming more and more irrelevant, and unlike netscape they can't exactly sue Google for anti-trust (at least not without losing 90% of their funding)

LibreWolf is better, includes ublock and no tracking by default.

There are good chromium based browsers too, I'm not aware of Vivaldi having any major controversies or shady business decisions in recent years, it has a built in adblock thats independent of chromium's upstream.

Iif you disqualify every browser due to its upstream having issues then you should probably revert to using CURL or something convoluted like what richard stallman does. Every browser that exists today is a fork of some browser that previously was good but started to suck.

I guess I'd ask where the jellyfin shares are at?

I run my own and I'd love to share it with more people

I think ts great! Sound quality is as good or better. Ive always discovered new music more from yt than Spotify personally so it has about 10+ years of my listening habits to go on and it dies a good job finding new stuff I like

While downloading is technically locked for free {even revanced) users ther are appa like newpipe or ytdlp that you can use to rip the audio in various formats. .

For organizing large collections and playlists I think both Spotify and YouTube are not really good but yt music on the desktop/webui is great where Spotify has a better interface for their mobile app. This might be more of a me problem though because I prefer organizing my collection offline using something like ex falso and musicbrains picard.

In terms of music library size they are pretty much equal, I used soundiiz ($5 service) to export and sync my library from spotify to yt and it got most everything, playlists included.

I think overall it might take some adjusting to if you're very used to Spotify and its UI but its a very suitable replacement.

I have a google TV device and I didn't even know they had a free option FROM google, but Pluto and tubi already have ads so not really surprising google would too... I just use jellyfin and smart tube, haven't seen ads in ages.

It is on f-droid too. This isnt being "unhinged" its just calling out google for their hypocrisy and pointless "privacy” policies and citing lots of examples.
