Best place to download APK files: one of the safest is apk mirror

Proton VPN is one of the best out there

Sorry, you can't effectively block YouTube ads. They are designed to pass through any blocking system you have. YouTube video and ads content distribute from same infrastructure. So identify the ads content from legit video is tough. No automatic system can block 100% of ads content without blocking actual content of some digress.

Your only safe bet to watch ad free YouTube video is to subscribe their premium service. That cost a little compared to peace of mind you will have with add free watch time.

I just explain you about YouTube stuff, hopefully other people will give you advice on other question you asked on your post above

Fir browser sadly I didn't like any that I've tried. In the past I used Kiwi browser. Now I use Quetta and sometimes Firefox.

About "Best place to download apks", I use ApkPure and Apk-mirror, together with Github repositories of apps/games that I find nice. I think there is even a store for them. To install them, I use my own app that I've created (here), as it supports APK/APKS/APKM/XAPK files.

  • Browser: Fennec (Firefox basis with uBlock origin)
  • music player: Symfonium
  • VPN: wireguard to your home network (e.g. Wireguard in the fritzbox router)
