      Where as,
      youtube = googlie
      google lens = googlie
      and
      telegram via web requires chromium api, so = googlie

      Hmm, proprietary things that are totally under the control of the corpo in question run slower or not at all on the corpo’s competitor’s browser. I wonder if that isn’t exactly what avoid a monoculture is all about preventing?

      Ah yes, google nerfing its own services under another browser for its own gain definitely isn’t the issue here.

      You can use a different frontend for YouTube. You’ve got Freetube for pc, Yattee for MacOS and iOS and piped on any platform. These solutions also protect your privacy and block ads.

      That’s because YouTube detects the browser you are using, and slows it down for browsers that aren’t their own.

      and the quick image search feature using google lens is not present

      There’s an addon that not only adds that back into the right click menu but also adds support for other image searching services!

      Its called “search by image” and it works very well ime
