I also pay for YouTube Premium, but I still use ReVanced on my smartphone just to disable auto-translation. It’s absolute madness that users can’t configure this in the official app.

Many of these tools could be seen as better than the American alternatives in certain respects (e.g., being more privacy-focused). If any country could be boldly compared to the Soviet Union in terms of protectionism, it’s more likely the United States these days.

Not sure I understand — passwords are generally hashed in databases. Even if leaked, an attacker would still need to brute-force the hash to retrieve the actual password, wouldn’t they?

That was the subject of Google Hash Code 2021: https://www.kaggle.com/competitions/hashcode-2021-oqr-extens...
