Solutions: True Sight browser extension to identify CDNs like AMP[1]. It shows an icon in the address bar to inform you whether the website is in part or wholly being hosted by CDNs (eg Google, Cloudflare, CloudFront, etc). You can block p

There's already LineageOS and Replicant who work on Android-based OSes if you want an experience like that. This is a bit more sustainable and flexible as those OSes have to constantly maintain feature parity with Google's release

Compatibility is a stepping stone to increasing the 0.8% (actual numbers) Linux population on Steam to higher numbers. If 2% or even 10% of users were Linux-based then developers would have second thoughts about choosing DirectX over Vulkan

That's also the model of the popular anonymity OS Tails, but if you'd read the paper OS-level state is not being discussed at all.
