I would summarise it as: Google/Microsoft/Facebook are a bunch of horrible companies, Apple is least bad .

How about when Google tracked all users location even with the location service disabled? https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/aug/13/google-lo... You don't see Apple doing shit like that...

Looks really nice; I don't like the fact that an unknown command is executed before i can see/inspect what it is. Currently you won't even see what command was executed afterwards, you only see the result... Would be nice t

It's weird how large companies can make decisions like this (re-routing all DNS requests to the US) on their own, without local/EU government stepping in to prevent it...

If i remember correct, 1PW7 from the App Store is subscription only, and if you want a single licence you have to get 1PW direct from AgileBits. https://1password.com/downloads/

I would argue that this is not really an issue; 99,9% of users are not trying to hide from the NSA... and i seriously doubt whether common websites use such a sophisticated fingerprinting technique to show you a relative ad.

Fun fact: i just found out that in Little Snitch, blocking a 'hostname' or 'domain', does NOT block the IP address this resolves to. Very weird. This is done, apparently, because sometimes multiple domains are hosted on

Yea, but it doesn't really work because you cannot block on the application level. You can only block hostnames/ip-addresses, and these often change with updates, so you'd have to constantly monitor and block new hosts after
