Depends, but yes in most cases. Also just adds attack surface and consumes extra resources, so its generally a good practice to keep extensions to a minimum and only use what you need.

My biggest issue with Jellyfin is the downloads. I hate not being able to downscale or compress files. Its really the main reason I still leave Plex up in conjunction to it. Though I hope to be able to get rid of Plex entirely in the future, Jellyfin just needs more time.
It does, it works better and covers more sites, but at the cost of security (increasing attack surface) and using more resources. Pros and cons to both.
Yes, this has been a major issue for NewPipe, see here.
Garuda appears to have some security issues unfortunately, see here.
To quote:
Garuda: They use Chaotic-AUR which automatically and blindly compiles packages from the AUR. There is no verification process to make sure that the AUR packages don’t suffer from supply chain attacks.
Proton VPN is probably one of the best VPNs out there. Has open source clients, is based in Switzerland so under their strong jurisdiction for privacy and data protection, doesn’t keep logs or sell data, has good speeds, includes useful features, etc. I’d definitely recommend it, as well as Proton’s other products.
On Windows, just use the built-in Windows Defender. On Linux, I recommend ClamAV + ClamTK. On Android, Hypatia.
If you think you have malware, this is a pretty good guide to remove it.
I’d also strongly recommend using and configuring a content blocker like uBlock Origin in your browser, as well as using a DNS level blocker like NextDNS.
If you have a multilayered setup like this, then I think you’re pretty good and it’ll be not impossible, but much harder to get malware or be infected. Just use common sense as always.
Firefox with uBlock Origin is by far the best option, the only other browser that comes close is Brave, their content blocking and such is pretty good, so I’d recommend trying them if you’re hellbent on not using FF. I’d also recommend looking into NextDNS for system-wide ad/tracker blocking in conjuction with the browser.
That tool is pretty inaccurate, see here
I’d say as long as it isn’t harming a small independent artist, then its generally ethical.
Hopefully it comes back, it was my personal favorite instance out of the options available and the one I mainly used.
You don’t even need to do that, all you have to do is hold shift when you right click, and it circumvents any hijacking.
