It can do emails and VPN just fine, so I'm wondering what the "average user" is missing. Grubhub? Crappy mobile games? Social networks that are making their lives worse? Definitely not YouTube because NewPipe is full-stop better. I'm just surprised that "Maybe I don't need all this toxic crap" is such a niche, extreme position that draws me funny looks and scorn.

Probably not the right place for a suggestion, but since you mentioned NewPipe, I would also suggest checking out LibreTube[0], been my choice of Youtube app after their redesign.

I'm not arguing that it's better or that ant of those things are good, but there will never be mainstream support or even k owledge about them.
