While this video is fairly decent at explaining privacy tips. What is wrong about this video is your stance on privacy respective software; the open source philosophy is not a privacy respecting one. The best umbrella for privacy respecting software is free/libre software which is a term coined by Richard Stallman. Also, you stated that the development team behind IceCat which is the FSF (Richard Stallman's crew) are big open source guys, wrong again. The FSF literally stands for 'Free Software Foundation'. If you can't tell the difference between open source and free/libre software then your obviously not ready to teach your viewers about genuine computer freedom and privacy.
Funnily enough, RIchard Stallman dislikes open source since it's a mockery of free/libre software.
While their are many similarities between the practice of open source and free/libre software.
The key difference between free software and open source is:
Free software - the developers under this umbrella respect their freedom as the source code doesn't depend on non-free firmware or codecs such as binary blobs. They prioritize freedom over convenience.
Open source - the developers under this umbrella are able to tolerate the dependency of non-free/proprietary codecs and firmware in order to achieve their end goal for their project. They prioritize the quality of software (for most users this is a much more comfortable experience.
An example of an open source project is Fedora, the Fedora developers are willing to package non-free firmware to achieve WiFi connections. Of course this is practical, but it does sacrifice a small portion of freedom in the process.
Another example of convenience over freedom is Debian's non-free and contrib repositories, while Debian by itself does respect the standards of free software, it is clear that the additional non-free and contrib repositories do not. For reference, the contrib repo is an open source repo since it packages software which depends on the proprietary software provided by the non-free repository.
For the sake of your future videos be more accurate and don't be a sellout (-cough- VPN services. You should know how bad a VPN is for privacy.
Ironically in communicating this statement to you, I am using YouTube which is a non-free site.
Good day sir.

this was pretty good information up until you started talking about tor and vpns. the tor browser bundle (the thing you are calling -tor-) is not the only way to peer with the tor network. it is basically just a hardened firefox config with some custom addons to set up a tor proxy every time you start it up. you absolutely can run multiple instances of tor to use multiple -compartments- at the same time. you can also use tor with regular web browsers (although this isn't a great idea, or really any network client that communicates over TCP. VPNs are a totally different thing that a) have nothing to do with your web browser, and b) come with a completely different set of uses and potential issues that you didn't even begin to address.

The Ice Cat website has a whole series of links with no tutorial or instructions on how to download it. How about just a download button making ir easier for people to use? Apologies for coming across as crass but this looks like another instance of developers not making things easier for people who are not computer literate like them. Also, you have to hunt down and find updates for IceCat which can stretch over many different websites. Firefox has containers people can use for different websites. Any thoughts if this would fit into the compartmentalization strategy?

okay, so even if exiting out of my browser clears all cookies, trackers, and history. i shoudl still never ever change which browser i use on the daily for certain tasks?
like, lets say that I use brave for facebook today, but tomorrow i determine that i want to use firefox for facebook instead? should i absolutely never do that? or would I be fine as long as i dont mix browsing habits together in the same browser at the same time?

_Thinks twice about sharing this via Twitter now_
Thanks for the content as usual. What about using social medias on Brave Browser and using the sessions tabs? Would that be a good form of compartmentalizing as closing a browser session? Also what about an alternative then? In my opinion, diaspora is a good one that is similar to Twitter but is decentralize. Maybe this would be the push for more people to use that instead c:

0: 56 -We believe in freedom of expression and open dialogue, but that means little as an underlying philosophy if voices are silenced, because people are afraid to speak up. In order to ensure that people feel safe expressing diverse opinions and beliefs, we prohibit behavior that crosses the line into abuse, including behavior that harasses, intimidates, or uses fear to silence another's voice. -

I got censured for using a word that isn't even an insult and the person who threaten me didn't receive anything. -
This explains a lot, thank you for this wonderful material.
I do really wonder if brave browse is better than chrome since it is chinese and i've had really bad experiences with those even leaks of data and ransom for recover my own files in chinese services.

I use Twitter to follow some people, sometimes I leave mean comments. As far as I can tell Twitter do not give a damn. Sure some adverts pop up occasionally for stuff I have already bought or never will but that is it. I have Feedly for alternative news sites. So are you afraid of adverts or some hidden mind control? Honest question!

No one should use twitter ever, look at it it's as toxic and hypocritical as it gets. They claim to be against doxing and yet there are allowing certain members who doxx people they consider racists. Twitter should die and disappear, they exists to turn you against your fellow human, divide and conquer.

What bothers me about this 'afraid to speak up' thing is that it is not objective. All one has to do is use 'feelings' of being scared, offended, hurt, etc. How does one prove things like that and aren't those also tings we can change or outgrow? I've outgrown a lot of my fear - esp. the fear of speaking up.
