uMatrix offers me complete control over the requests that get allowed or blocked, so there's no need for anything else.

What can you really do with 1 megabyte? Clearly nothing serious. Why suggest it's free then? Neocities provides 1GB which is actually a relevant amount.

I'm sure China thinks of their censorship as education too. Whether Mozilla is big or small changes nothing. Censorship is censorship.

> Only those who've been tried and tested in court prove something, and only for that specific moment. It could be different now. We do not know. How about you provide proof that your ISP doesn't store your stuff, as you claime

Maybe because a "racism" thread will inevitably turn into a political shitstorm. There's thousands of other places to discuss politics.

> Well it relies on a fair and properly functioning democracy. For that, there need to be consequences for politicians that screw up. There aren't. Actually, nowhere do we even have a real democracy. A regular person has no say in a

Pretty bad article - most VPNs have a very high privacy focus, while ISPs simply store all your stuff. Even a bad VPN is better than not using one. SSL is unreliable (Cloudflare MITM, rogue certificate authorities, etc) and doesn't hid

Regardless of what you think of the "militia" - the fact that a donation service can just get rid of you is a really dangerous situation. I mean the reason could be anything at all, and you completely rely on someone's whim t

There is no "it's going to be". It's been happening for a long time. The article is way too long to describe this simple issue, IMO. Millions of bartenders, cashiers, etc. losing their jobs might not have another "s

I always hate reading about things like these because it reminds me of how shitty school is. But AI or other technology is not the solution. The child can just learn by itself naturally. I mean, we stick children for so many years in a cage

Just wanted to say that uMatrix can disable this. Browsers have been anti-user control for so long, we can't rely on them anymore to provide basic configuration even.

That should be the standard for every device, regardless if it spies on you or not. It's so weird how the above article even had to be written.
