i too start to think that this thread is for promotion rather than “asking for opinions”. I will go make myself a tinHat
I’ve read this on https://invizible.net
This product is produced independently from the Tor®, DNSCrypt, Purple I2P software and carries no guarantee from The Above Projects about quality, suitability or anything else.
why would i use this app “that carries no guarantee” instead of those original projects?
blokada to netGuard and the reason is precision
https://github.com/M66B/NetGuard/releases or izzysoft or fDroid
it doesn’t need root
firefox doesn’t hide your ip.
google/YouTube probably knows who is watching what from where and when unless you use tor or a vpn with a browser that leaves no traces, leaks no information (probably not the default firefox)
but youtube in firefox having access to what you type on another app? i don’t think that’s possible
it is relevant.
requiring phone number and being centralized doesn’t make Signal “not great” in a world where a great majority of people use WhatsApp + read the last comment again but more carefully ;)
signal is a great alternative to a WhatsApp world. Simplex or Session has no chance with the general public
i don’t know in what world you’re living, but in this world where people think you’re (edit: we are) a pain in the ass for refusing to install WhatsApp when everyone is expected to use it for official communication (work + organizations); Signal is great.
I’ve convinced a couple of dozens of people to use Signal, and only one to keep Simplex as, at least, a backup.
as a caring-about-privacy minority we can invite “them” to Signal. “They” know Signal and Telegram👎. “They” understand our concerns. “They” for whatever incomprehensible reason keep using WhatsApp 🤷 We’re left out of the loop because once “everyone” is on that WhatsApp group, it’s tiring for them to send an email or an sms to the exceptional one or two people
the first thing i do with any yT frontend is disabling comments. When i was on linux desktop i used to zap them with uBlock. Why would anybody want to read them?🤷
sethMeyers started torturing himself with yT comments during covid lockdowns in Corrections. It’s fun to see somebody ridiculously engaging with that cesspool 🤣
i just tried with firefox focus and privacy browser. I get the same timeout for https://searx.ox2.fr/search
now that i added https://paulgo.io as default, it works 🤷
just changed my default to duckduckgo before opening lemmy. i often get “Too Many Requests” message and i had enough.
or this one 👉

thanks for testing. I wanted to see if it’s rather the os that’s triggering the change
language is set automatically to the new region of the android (in settings it’s still English (US). I didn’t modify Mull. This is the default behavior 🤷

Business model
Swisscows is financed by advertising revenues and other services. Because Swisscows does not monitor users and thus does not save or pass on user data either for themselves or for others, Swisscows has developed its own advertising concept. The concept is a software technology called AdAnounce that works similar to Google AdWords technology, with the important exception that user data is not passed on to the advertiser.
In addition to advertising revenues, Swisscows also makes turnover with software projects, technology licensing and plans to provide additional software and hardware services. All these services guarantee privacy.
