Thanks for your suggestion, but after going through the Github issues,
I'm afraid that it's not possible yet to connect to Netbird using a Wireguard config file:

I believe Briar currently is one of the best options out there, together with SimpleX.
However I lack usage experience with both.
Since no one I know makes use of them..
It was already hard enough to convince only a handful of my friends to start using Session and Matrix/Element (which are not the best options anymore), but I'm kinda doubtful about my success rate of making them switch once again..
My success with convincing people to use Telegram has been better though, since that's the most commonly known, but nearly no one wants to install an app they never heard off before, just to chat with only me :P
Also "convincing people" lately goes smth like this for me:
- Do you have WhatsApp or Messenger so I can send you some pictures?
- No I don't use apps that do not respect my privacy, but you can send em to me through SimpleX, Briar, Session, Matrix/Element, Telegram, Discord or email :P
- Upon which most choose Telegram or Discord as their means to contact me, sadly no one had Briar/SimpleX yet.
*Don't Use Session,
if your threat profile includes government's spending +-100k to crack your encryption, since their encryption is not the best out there.
Which they likely won't for an average privacy conscious user, but they might for high ranking criminals.
It was a good read though,
I won't invite new people to Session due to it.
But the title is a little click-baity,
"Session's encryption is not the best",
would be a more honest title.
Lately these lyrics come to mind ever more often:
White Americans, what?
Nothing better to do.
Why don't you kick yourself out?
You're an immigrant too.

Yes we need them to survive,
yes they're better than Google.
But no we're not being too negative/hard on them!
Lately Mozilla has been pulling a lot of anti-consumer yet pro shareholder shit.
AI is a perfect example of that,
unwanted by the majority of their community, yet still forced upon us by shareholders, for now through an optional addon, which appears to be a foot in the door, which can quickly grow into a baked in addon which ships with FireFox by default.
Sources:
- Mozilla asked the community their opinion about AI, the general response was NO:
https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/share-your-feedback-on-the-ai-services-experiment-in-nightly/td-p/60519 - Mozilla pushed a poll, tailored by shareholders in such a way that the results would appear that we still want AI:
https://mozillafoundation.tfaforms.net/100
Yet in the Lemmy comments about the poll,
again you can see that the general consensus is no:

They blatantly ignore their community,
and for that we're allowed to be angry with them.
Set up post filters,
block all posts with the words Elon and Trump in em.
Here's a guide for Eternity which I've written:

Won't get rid of all the Elon/Musk spam,
but I'd say about 90% which is already a huge improvement.
Also blocking the news communities does wonders for mental health.
They benefit financially from feeding negative content, since research pointed out that those articles generate more ad clicks, while they don't give a damn about what it does to your mental health.
Thank you, those are some interesting/good use cases indeed!
What do you use it for?
I've had it for a while,
but ended up uninstalling it,
since I could not think of a good use case.
Oh did not know that, sad to hear.
They did remove traffic to the old Yuzu domains though, which now are in the hands of Nintendo, used to monitor which users use emulators.
Do you have other suggestions for promising successor forks?
Ahhh sad to hear, but thanks for your reply,
now I know that I can stop searching,
and start hoping for quick implementation of Wireguard config support for Netbird :)
