And I know NewPipe works with video, I meant I strictly use it for music (behind VPN) and nothing else for the reason above. Gotcha, I misunderstood. I still don’t want Google to link the IPs I use to the content I’m interested in. But YouTube’s servers only know that some ProtonVPN (ex.) user is connecting. They aren’t able to discriminate your music requests from those of some other user on the same VPN server - based on the IP alone at least. That’s assuming you never generate any traffic on that node while signed into your Google account of course. Is the video vs music distinction because song listens offer less bits of identifying information than videos? Don’t take this as preaching what you should or shouldn’t do, I don’t judge anyone’s threat model - just always curious about where people draw the privacy vs “comfort” line :)
