It’s the stupid name.

If be interested. I’ve only used desktop VLC and only as a backup player since it tends to have its own code for most things instead of using shared components that sometimes it can do things other players fail at. That could be useful on Android as well and if the player’s also good, no who knows.

I’ll mention organic maps and rimusic.

Just a reminder to https://sfconservancy.org/GiveUpGitHub/ and that GitHub is Microsoft.

Steps 2-3 are sadly impossible on most devices. If you have one of the bad ones, I’d recommend making some searches before you choose your next device.

Still better than nothing. Although most of those seem to be training people that “who said it” is how truthfulness of a statement should be judged which is exactly backwards.

Google pulls the plug on uBlock Origin

No they don’t. And can’t. It’s not their product.

Headlines these days. Are they all complete lies?

Brave is a series scam company.

Don’t NAT. Just bump in the wire firewall plus local DNS server.

Do they still pass everything through a spy proxy to “speed up” browsing?

Overhead

You can pick any. I guess the way is to just pick one based on it’s description or users or package availability or size and then learn to use it. And or try another one when you figure out if it has problems. Sick with the one you like the most. Or write your own.

Locations and timelines, gait recordings, clothing… Advertisers will love to have that as well

Yes. Email is also pretty thoroughly broken after years of spam and corruption by Microsoft and Gmail. It was never a reliable system and is even less so today. It’s a good idea to try again and use different systems if you have some.

This exactly. It’s more like a firewall for your browser. Because web browsers are incredibly crap software that’s pretty completely ignored privacy and filtering along their development and it’s being slowly patched on in tiny kludges and extensions instead of being set in policy from the start.

Of course spam and malware is a hard problem in web browsers. It’s been a hard problem everywhere else, too.

Internet is better than ever. The web is the broken part.

Good topic, bad spam.
