Brave has a filter list you can enable that works great at bypassing paywalls on news websites

Signal has quantum resistant encryption and PFS, they're not going to have an easy time breaking it

I really hope the people who made or at least the ones who maintain grayjay, invidious and piped get to work on bypassing age restriction.

I really want to the internet to go back to the way it was 15 years ago, where nothing was so insanely restricted or controlled.

I hate that all the rich elites of the world are using Orwellian novels as instruction manuals

not anymore, fiddled with it, it worked without being signed in once, now it doesn't work

Why does youtube suck so much? only a few years ago it was so much easier to access from anything. And now it's way more restricted

Sail out on the grand line for that movie.

Mullvad, iVPN and protonVPN all make good...ships, to sail with

Telegram is not private or secure.

One encryption key can unlock the entire service

Mullvad has ways of mimicking HTTP traffic, but no way to totally and completely blend in like obscura says they can

I continued looking at their website after I made my comment, it uses mullvad's proxies as exit points

I see on Obscura's website that their whole thing is making the VPN traffic look like all other traffic

Is mullvad going to get to use any of that stuff now that they're partnered?

On top of all that, it’s based on Chromium, which means that Google is in control of their upstream source code.

you can turn off the google stuff

Sending DNS requests to the local ISP when in TOR mode effectively removing protection against spying

there's other ways of using TOR, and I don't even think they do that anymore, they fixed the problem after the criticism came out

Installing an extra VPN service on Windows machines without user consent

Been using Brave for over 6 years now, that never happened on any of my machines

Replacing ads on websites with their own, and collecting that revenue

they don't do that anymore, and honestly, I'd rather have it that way than allow google or facebook or any other website to have more money, but adblocking needs to be multi-layered anyway.

 

It was a meme where the title of the post was "cybersecurity in a nutshell"

It was about a king considering firing his wizard

"I haven't been attacked in awhile, maybe I should fire my wizard"

then the wizard responds "bitch, who do you think cast the circle of protection?"

all text, no images

 

What ever happened to the SimpleX chat group for AuADHD?

 

No, it's not like stealing a physical item from a store.

"stealing" a digital copy of a movie, tv show or a game is like if the item you're stealing from a store is infinitely copyable. Like the replicator from star trek...or that one episode of Sabrina the teenage witch with that box that can make a perfect copy of everything you put inside of it.

Of course I personally would never pirate anything, no matter how much streaming services increase their prices or how much they crack down on VPN usage to get around geo-restrictions, PIRACY IS BAD AND ONLY BAD PEOPLE DO IT.

I've never pirated anything in my whole life!

There are people who understand what I'm saying...but apparently most people don't get it.

Of course that means I still would never pirate anything. That would be horrible to "steal" a copy of a movie or a TV show
