One privacy essential is a built-in vpn/proxy like Opera has done with its browser, this makes it slightly harder for some fingerprinting ad trackers to follow a user around.
- yegg 9y agoWe are actively exploring about how to incorporate vpn/proxy technology in while still maintaining the seamless experience.
- pknight 9y agoglad to hear that!
- kijin 9y agoProxies can be useful, but I'm not comfortable with sending all my traffic over a centralized proxy operated by a single entity. Just like Cloudflare, the entity that runs the proxy gets a free pass to MITM everyone! A decentralized solution that can be easily configured to send traffic over any third-party VPN service, HTTP proxy, or ssh tunnel would be much cleaner. Bonus points if the proxy seamlessly kicks in only when visiting a site with a low privacy score or when browsing on public Wi-Fi.
