What YouTube has that others don't is content. I can't use any alternative as a daily-driver like I can with YouTube. Can't find the music I want, obscure videos on how to replace a random part on an old Mercedes car, or reviews on solar inverters or stand up comedy bits, etc.

The alternative platforms seemingly only shine in hosting content that YouTube doesn't allow. Unfortunately, until they also host content that YouTube does allow they'll never be a normal, mainstream alternative.

So that's why I use Invidious, to at least watch the content that I do like (hosted on YouTube) in a more private way.

I try to use Peertube and Odysee instead of Youtube because I don´t believe the solution to Youtube tracking is to play cat and mouse with Google, the solution is to have an alternative platform that respects privacy and freespeech, but lots of valuable content can be found in Youtube and sometims I still have to visit so thank you for the proxy.

No, I don't care enough. My point is that the tool is designed in a way to fish more passwords and the moment you "check" your password with the tool, you have to change it anyway, so there's no point in doing so in the first place.

Also, why would anyone download hundreds of gigabytes to check whether their password is compromised, if one could also just update their password?

Have you done even a tiny bit of research?

Downloading the Pwned Passwords list

The entire set of passwords is downloadable for free below with each password being represented as either a SHA-1 or an NTLM hash to protect the original value (some passwords contain personally identifiable information) followed by a count of how many times that password had been seen in the source data breaches. The list may be integrated into other systems and used to verify whether a password has previously appeared in a data breach after which a system may warn the user or even block the password outright. For suggestions on integration practices, read the Pwned Passwords launch blog post for more information.

Please download the data via the torrent link if possible! If you can't access torrents (for example, they're blocked by a corporate firewall), use the "Cloudflare" link and they'll kindly cover the bandwidth cost.

If you don't like the ad scripts move to LBRY desktop app. Odysee has a sustainable business model but if you want control of your content and you don't want to be tracked use the desktop app and Peertube isn't sustainable because it has no business model behind it expect tips but LBRY has LBC. Also LBRY Desktop app is open source and more stable than Odysee.
