uBlock Origin ships with a "Block Outsider Intrusion into LAN" filter that I believe is enabled by default. I don't know if it works on the neutered Chrome version, but on Firefox it works so well I've had to add a few w

By this logic one could simply download Protonmail's TLS certificate instead of trusting a CA and access the service via clearnet. Fully decentralized. Discovery, once again, left as excercise for reader.

Fun fact: if you've ever had bash (or another shell) complain that a file doesn't exist, even though it's on $PATH, check if it's been cached by `hash`. If the file is moved elsewhere on $PATH and bash has the old path c
