In general, shudder at the thought of supporting the anti-broker industry. Data brokers can play both sides. Guest the only solution is legislation?
Not end to end encrypted afaict. The only way id ever consider a service like this is if it was e2e.
Also incogni is owned by surfshark which i think is more important than their partnership with nordvpn
What’s the tea on surfshark?
Few years ago they killed their killswitch . I believe it was technically still an option but they reduced it’s capabilities so that it wasn’t functionally a reliable killswitch.
They also got heat for installing root CA certs. https://www.techradar.com/news/new-research-reveals-surfshark-turbovpn-vyprvpn-are-installing-risky-root-certificates
I believe both issues are “fixed”, but they were some questionable decisions
Fucknord
What’s the problem with Nord? I have never used one of their products so I’m not informed
The only thing I know about them is how well advertised they are, which is a turn off.
