I’ve heard of people having similar experiences on Mastodon as well. Seems like these smaller communities of early adopters tend to simply be more active and pleasant to interact with.

Have a look at this and this.

Consider Endeavour.

It’s the app the comment above me was recommending. I just wanted to make that clear and show that it was available outside the app stores as well.

Drip is also available on F-droid.

Not sure if you’re on desktop or mobile. On mobile I’m using Mull with uBlock origin in medium mode. I don’t see any videos in the article you linked and I don’t see most of the annoyances many people complain about.

This is a rather strict setup that can break some sites, but over time you can tune it to make most sites work without intervention on future visits.
