He misattributes that quote

https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/1558

You will find the quote in this book that predates Nazi Germany

Not merely was my own mail opened, but the mail of all my relatives and friends—people residing in places as far apart as California and Florida. I recall the bland smile of a government official to whom I complained about this matter: “If you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear.”





I know what it is, my question was more at the “not for desktop use”

I think being able to rollback is better for new users



immutable too, which is great for a console experience, but probably not ideal for a desktop user.

What?



You should expect any data hosted on a server to be accessible by the given government…and thanks to NSA you should expect any data that travels through the US to be accessible by their government

Privacy in this case is around the selling to advertisers



Self hosting doesn’t make sense as a privacy feature because then it’s still just you making requests to google/other SE


Much easier just to go to sketchy websites than learn how to hide your traffic




I just say “If a developer isn’t good enough to get their product to work on Linux then it’s not high enough quality to use”


Good luck convincing people to change

I was asked “why bother with Linux if there is software that isn’t native on it”




Remember to use Firefox containers, then you can accept all the cookies you want and they will never see outside of the container (you have to put the website in a container though)


Read as giving them ad revenue allows them to write without doing sponsored articles


Privacy policies are there to tell you what they collect/share not to have your privacy in mind

Run it in a container but this is on the low end of what’s collected on you



That would run the risk of the user agent displaying as chromium. So you would still need to change the user agent, which I’m not sure why you wouldn’t do that to begin with


From the OP; affiliate links

I never went to the browser though because their “pay us and we’ll totally give it to the websites you want if they request it” was enough for me to avoid it


Safari

Apple TOS requires all web pages load in safari so a web browser is a coat of paint


I have come across web pages in the past that refuse to load if the user agent isn’t chrome/edge
