No it doesn't, because there is no such thing as a non-safari browser on iOS. Firefox, Chrome, anything Apple will allow is just Safari in a different costume.

Sorry but this will not help you learn JavaScript. I am sure it will help you remember built-ins and terminology, but using PLs is far more than a human memory game, I know JS pretty thoroughly and cannot recall every Math or Array method,

Yup, there is no way to hide basic packet information from your ISP without some kind of tunnelling like Wiregaurd or TOR. I already stopped trusting my ISP after it was announced that one of the three UK LTE internet providers had implemen

No, it used to as a side-effect, but DPI circumvention is an unpopularity contest... wiregaurd is no longer unpopular enough, DPI targets it, and wiregaurd's purpose is not to play the circumvent DPI game, so it's not going to con

If you are city bound without access to travel i'm sure there are more suitable activities. Someone else mentioned dancing. Also pretty sure you can do skating in a city.

I find goats pretty interesting, they have amazing balance and are great at climbing mountains for instance... skills I would like to improve, maybe I can learn from goats? They also make cute noises.

I also do pushups to balance out climbing, because although climbing works all the muscles fairly well, it over develops the back slightly. Even though I'm pretty anti-gym, i think body weight exercises are great, because you can prett
