Nano Defender hasn’t been necessary in my experience. uBlock Origin can circumvent anti-adblock measures by itself. I’m skeptical of Grammarly from a privacy standpoint. It seems to be an internet-enabled keylogger.

Drivers in less population-dense areas such as my own keep both the Uber and Lyft apps open in order to fill enough time. Would this still be possible if they were an employee?

While these addons may help against help prevent some fingerprinting attempts, they do not adequately reduce the fingerprint to be non-unique. They certainly won’t hurt, though (many websites just take a hash of the canvas). It’s very dif

Facebook launched Lasso as its own app two years ago. I’m not sure if there were any differences between it and TikTok, but either way, it failed miserably. https://techcrunch.com/2020/07/01/lasso-facebook-tik

That page compares Omotype with the Dislexie font, not OpenDyslexic. I think it’s also important to note that, unlike OpenDyslexic, Dislexie and Omotype are not freely licensed.

This reminds me of two mind-boggling discoveries I’ve had about the human mind. The first is that the two halves of your brain act somewhat independently. And in rare cases, people’s left and right halves are “split” apart, and they act en

I wish advertising didn’t exist. Not just on the internet, but everywhere else too. Ads encourage people to buy stuff they probably don’t need. They incentivize clickbait and tracking. And most online advertising is probably a waste of mone
