I've never used AdGuard but you can customize uBlock Origin to fit your needs and block specific things for specific websites. uBlock Origin is commonly used as a default in hardened browsers which would help you fit in with the crowd even more (although I realize you said you weren't going for anti-fingerprinting, just something to consider)

I switched to using Grayjay Desktop rather than my browser for YouTube

If you need a userscript manager, Violentmonkey is an open source alternative

Proton Pass has an app, yes less convenient without the autofill but better for privacy not to have the extension

Personally, I would just sail the seven seas

If you want maximum privacy, Grayjay and Freetube don't link to accounts so Google doesn't know what you're doing (especially if you're on a VPN) but again, it's understandable if you don't feel that's worth it.

Ah got it, didn't realize you were using passkeys.

If you're willing to do a bit of setup, Stremio + RealDebrid ($40 a year) + Torrentio/AIOStreams is pretty much perfect to me (although if you watch a lot of super obscure shows maybe not the way to go as RealDebrid doesn't cache everything)
