Yeah, It's due to myself being french, so I proposed including this in the readme.md as GAFAM, as other more ¨international¨ depiction of these group were less prominent. If you think that FAANG is a better acronym, i’ll change it.
¨by their size, they are particularly influential on the American and European Internet both economically and politically and socially and are regularly the subject of criticism or prosecution on tax matters, abuses of dominant positions and the non-respect of Internet users' privacy.¨
To be short, that what it is. But we can pin point each cases one by one. This filter list only concentrate on Google tho for the moment.
Well, myself actually. What i habitually do in those case, when this is really not usable, I just usually temporary whitelist them only for this specific domain i’m trying to access. This break obviously the purpose of the filter list partially tho.
I’ve added your suggestion to our list, and I will try to see if I can make, a separate list mainly for those dedicated web services. For myself, I always block all JS fonts, and CDN domains, and I think, only really use Decentraleyes for that (Or LocalCDN as an alternative), and most of the time, It's usable, but not on the few cases when no content at all is being pulled from those domains.
Video-hosting website alternatives as YouTube are indeed, pretty difficult to use in hope to replace entirely that service.
I’ll say that peertube is going into a great way, but if it actually continues to gain success, it will surely take too many longs.
You can however, if its mainly for telemetry purposes, use something else like invidio.us which i’ve been using alongside it, since i’ve deleted my Google account.
Alternative exists. It might not be usable entirely without them, but it can on a certain point.
We’ve separated the list into multiple categories, so that way, this could be easier to block some majors parts of their services only. And well, We´ve indicated the domain to whitelist in case you have issues with reCaptcha´s.
