Free speech also entails how willingly you are to put that speech out there. If you want to cover it with a paywall of any sort, you are most welcome to do that. Keep in mind that free speech and its actions also have consequences. If your content is good enough, people might pay to see it. Free market and all that.
It doesn’t feel legal. A bookmark is textual data you’ve stored on your computer for later reference, and while it is on their application, somehow this feels wrong. It’s definitely wrong ethically, but is there something in the user agreement that says they have full reign of whatever the browser can touch?
93% with Firefox and Ghostery behind Windscribe VPN. I’ve got a few other addons disabled like Decentraleyes and Ublock, but a combination of those with Ghostery didn’t do any higher. Pretty sure I disabled them because Ghostery did everything they did. The stuff let in are to make websites like Youtube and Google usable. It’s a tradeoff.
I agree it’s better than IE was, but let’s be fair - that’s a low bar. I also (have to) use Edge in a workplace, and for controlled intranet areas it’s great. Ironically I still have to use IE partially, since it’s a depreciated and not replaced part of Excel/VBA’s web browser connection. That change last year made dealing with macros that pull info a lot more difficult to work with in security popups that can’t be automated away.
Even vanilla Firefox is better from a privacy point of view than something like Edge or Chrome (both from companies who really want your data), and if you just substitute the name IE for Edge you understand where a big chunk of their user numbers come from. Firefox is solid, even with bugs and glitches it’s been my choice since the beginning (to replace its predecessor, Netscape, another solid one).
Only if it’s a federally approved REAL ID license.
