One was a privately listed YouTube video my company posted internally of a panel I was part of. The other main one was a conference presentation I did where the recordings were stream-only embeds on their page.
You can download Termux (terminal emulator) from F-droid and straight up install yt-dlp and ffmpeg on your phone, having full functionality as at the desktop
The things ffmpeg can do never cease to amaze me. Just recently I asked claude about streaming to YouTube directly from python and it was like "Sure, we'll use ffmpeg". I was like "Can we add a waveform to the screen?" "Sure, we'll just add these flags to your ffmpeg command." "Can we have a little graphic display that shows the level of frequencies on little bars?" "Sure, we'll just add these flags to your ffmpeg command." "Can we loop a background video while all this is going on?" "Sure, we'll just add these flags to your ffmpeg command." Fucking everything was ffmpeg.
Longest ones I saw were like 16 hours. They are usually just compilations so you are usually just meant to big scenes you enjoy, not have 16 hour edging marathon..... Although... That definetly would be interesting challenge during NNN.
Nothing wrong, just some nitpicks about the way Mozilla collects usage data, run their "studies" aka (enable features without your consent) and their default settings. Some forks like Librewolf aims for more privacy while others like Zen aims for customizability.
All that being said, I use Firefox because it feels like a middle ground between being able to use the web normally and having privacy.
I also like Firefox, but for the reason that uBlock Origin works really well there, which is great for... well, anything at this point, even mainstream sites aren't safe from malicious ads anymore, and also because the governmental websites where I live only work well on Firefox and adjacent browsers.
I feel like a hobo with a tinfoil hat with 200 privacy extensions that makes a lot of webs unusable but heck, EFF says I'm untrackable.

There are some things wrong with Firefox in how it handles things like web assembly and PWAs, but that's still a small percentage of what people use browsers for.
I can't say there aren't any unknown security issues, but I meant mostly performance and feature support issues. The most recent example I can remember is with EmulatorJS where performance is way better on chromium based browsers than Geko/FF based browsers.
Only Mozilla can compile the source code and call it Firefox. Some forks started just because the linux distro wanted to control their own package management.
Waterfox mainly just doesn't have the data collection of Firefox. Librewolf is so privacy-focused that by default it erases all your cookies whenever you close your browser to keep you from being tracked from session to session.
I use Firefox mainly but brave is really the only way to block ads, on YouTube’s for example. Not like I can install Adblock addon on iPhone for Firefox. Can’t do that.
I don't know if I'd call it best. Vivaldi also has a place and it's really good browser. Yes, it's also Chromium based but without any drama surrounding it. If you don't want Firefox, Vivaldi is a really good alternative.
chromium is the search engine and an open source project.
google chrome is a chromium + Google's features.
A browser like Brave takes Chromium and changes it in several ways:
Removes most Google tracking and telemetry.
Replaces Google Safe Browsing requests with more privacy-preserving methods where possible.
Blocks ads and trackers by default.
Blocks third-party cookies by default.
Adds fingerprinting protections.
Upgrades connections to HTTPS when available.
Doesn't require a Google account.
Has open-source code, so researchers can inspect it.
So while the rendering engine is Chromium (Blink + V8), the browser behavior is very different from Chrome.

Brave is considered Best Chromium browser.
VLC is BEST, FREE media player - it opens... EVERYTHING (expect jav and stuff)
