- I can recommend VSCodium. It is based on the open-sourced code of VSCode. On many distros you will find it in the default repositories.

You say that you want to do this for "privacy" and "security" reasons. Those two are not the same. What is the exact use-case which you want to prevent?
Disabling WebSockets will cause some Websites not to work properly anymore. Especially such which rely on live updates without reloading the site (most common use-case for WebSockets).
Imo debloating the apps itself is not possible. To do that, you would need to somehow decomplie them, change the code, repackage them and install them as custom applications. This might be possible in theory, but is not feasible in a real-world scenario.
I recommend the following two options:
- Use different clients where possible. For youtube F-Droid has some alternatives. For reddit I don't know the current status.
- Use a VPN based solution such as AdAway. It can block requests based on target IP or Domain. But keep in mind that blocking certain requests can prevent the app from working.
Can someone explain to me how that appeal-system is supposed to work? As far as I understand, the White House has "escalated" Breyer's decision to the next instance. This instance has now decided that the measures decided on by Breyer will not take effect until a "proper" decision from the next instance is provided. Is that correct?
You have nothing to lose, there are thousands of companies searching for developers. Inevitably, some of them won't invite you to interviews, but there are always others :-)
Regarding blacklists, I don't think that it is common (unless if you insult the interviewing person maybe?). In large companies, they usually have many offerings, so if you are rejected from one, you can just apply for another...
One recommendation could be to send your first application to a company which does not interest you that much. So you can gain confidence without having to be afraid
