Good to know, thanks, I’ll check out upwork. I just got laid off and they gave me basically no severance, so, I’d love to find something quick lol

Where do you get jobs from?

I’m not SUPER concerned about privacy tbh, I mean I care about it, but I’ll make some concessions for the sake of convenience, like in the form of a mozilla account to transfer settings and addon’s between computers. So I probably wouldn’t be a good example, but I use waterfox, it recently just went independent after being bought by a company awhile back, and I like it. But if you’re looking for a privacy/security focused browser librefox I hear is a good one. It’s based on firefox and has a lot of security features built in by default.

If you’re looking for a VPN solution I highly recommend mullvad vpn, super secure, makes an effort to respect your privacy, and is genuinely one of the fastest vpns I’ve used.

Here’s a few articles I found:

It’s got crypto, scammy stuff built it

They tout themselves as being a private browser but also harvest a lot of your data

Last I used it the browser was also kind of glitchy

They’re chromium so they’re still bound by the whims of Google anyway

Oh man I’ve been looking for something like this, hell yeah

You couldn’t pay me dawg

After doing some testing, there were a few things that could have caused it, I had a lot of saved sessions from one extension, I cleared those out and lowered the amount of sessions it can store, I had a session app that would cloudsync my sessions, and I noticed when it was syncing another tab manager extension I was using shit the bed so I disabled the cloudsynver one, and I good ol reddit enhancement suite and moderator toolbox were still enabled, and for some reason it seems one of those two were bogging down other things quite a bit.

As of now it’s running muuuuch more smoothly

Maybe it’s an issue with my PC or an extension then, bummer

Unless you have several tabs open then it begins to bog down

Edit: I was speaking from real world experience with both, I’m a power user so my issues are probably an edge case but I have more issues with Firefox hanging than I did chrome. Despite that I won’t be switching back to chrome as I don’t like their recent push towards drm and disabling ad blocked
