absolutely. you can also go back to sending hand written mail instead of using email or messaging apps too, but this is 2025 and software exists to help keep track of this.
i have been using Freetube so I am wondering if this will be worse or better.
edit: it's literally the console version of youtube but just stripped down.
I'd recommend Freetube instead as its much more feature rich and it uses invidious (which is a lightweight alternative to youtube) and has support for sponsorblock and stuff built in.
i use Waterfox. its great. its a fork of firefox that still respects privacy.
