what is the alternative to youtube?
Being realistic here, there's no worthwhile competitor to youtube at this point in time. You have some stuff like odysee, LBRY, peertube etc. However, the amount of content on them is basically nothing compared to youtube and there's little incentive for creators to move there due to how difficult it would be to monetise your content in those places.
My best pick would be invidious which is a private & ad-free yt frontend that uses it's own API and doesn't need JS. I already use it all the time. It's good.

most modern laptops automatically switch to A/C power at 100% so it's not much of an issue nowadays

Proton just released a VPN extension for chrome and firefox

If you're satisfied with mullvad, i would stick to it. The main problem it runs into is that it doesn't support port forwarding which is an issue if you use torrents a lot. That's the main advantage that proton reserves.

What app is everyone using for Lemmy
I've been using a bunch. I've tried liftoff, Jerboa, the official PWA and wefwef. So far, I'm liking the vibes I'm getting from liftoff.

Warez: Do you pirate software or just use FOSS?
I use FOSS for almost my entire workflow except for Maya because I really cannot get used to the Blender UI. I also still have windows on dual boot cause unreal engine runs really badly on linux (with my crappy specs anyway)

How to partially override my GTK theme? I want to add a highlight to the current tab, but keep everything else

Thank you! I added a line to your code and it worked!
.tab-background[selected="true"] {
background-color: #171A26 !important;
background-image: none !important;
}

I made the mistake of checking Reddit (using my last few days of Apollo) and came across a complaint about Lemmy that flabbergasted me

I agree with you. Also funny coincidence, I was just listening to petrodragonic as I scrolled by :p

Convince me to use Firefox over Brave
Between Brave, Mullvad and Librewolf, you really can't go wrong. They all offer great privacy features and ship with adblockers out of the box (the latter 2 ship with uBlock). It's worth mentioning however that the chromium project is going to transition to MV3, which will cripple the functionality of a load of addons, including adblockers (although Brave's built in one will be unaffected).
As for Firefox, I recommend you steer away from it and choose one of the aforementioned forks of it instead because they will give you better results in terms of privacy. Alternatively, you could use the Arkenfox user.js, however it's no longer as well maintained due to being made redundant by the plethora of privacy browsers out there already.
I'm also going to go ahead and give an honourable mention to the firefox css community who have made some insanely impressive themes for Gecko based browsers. You can view some of them here: https://firefoxcss-store.github.io/ They're one of the main reasons I'm using a Gecko browser :)
