Is there a good way to prevent apps/programs from accessing the internet, or restrict it to VPNs only?
  • There's a built-in network toggle for applications (in their respective App Info / Permissions page) in GrapheneOS. So, if you're on Graphene, it's a piece of cake.

    Else, you might want to look into NetGuard (https://f-droid.org/packages/eu.faircode.netguard/), which offers app-wise internet blocking.

    As for the "using app over a VPN" thing, you can just turn on "Always-on VPN" and "Block connections without VPN" toggles in Settings / Network and Internet / VPN / <Your-VPN-Settings>.

  • YouTube extension for FF to manage subscriptions privately?
  • If I were you, I would just use Piped (piped.kavin.rocks). It stores all your subscriptions in Local Storage, and displays them in the "Feeds" section. The Feeds section also supports RSS, so you can get notified too. If you are on android, grab one of the Piped clients. NewPipe is the most recommended, but I really like the UI of LibreTube.

  • Google is already pushing WEI(DRM Webpage) into Chromium
  • There is an alternate frontend to Google Translate though. It's called Lingva Translate.

    It has also got the voice over thingy.

    For androids, Lingva has a FOSS app, called Lentil Translate (I believe it's not official), which you can easily find on F-Droid. Personally, the translations in the app seem a bit slow and buggy to me, but it works like a charm in the browser.

  • Can I follow a specific account on Lemmy?
  • Didn't try this particular link, but in general, with a feed link, you can plug it in any feeds app and get notified whenever the user posts something. Feeder is a good android RSS feeds app.
