I have Tor, but it isn't suitable for all things. Neither is FF Klar/Focus and IceCat. I found that Chrome was required for boarding passes for Westjet. It is in Insular (FOSS version of Island- isolated from all apps). So we make do with imperfect combinations. I also recommend Blokada from F-droid. No ads on android and blocked ~200k trackers in a year.

As #OnionMaximalists we strongly recommend using such #internetAnonymisers at all times, not just when you need to upload a photo of your itchy butt to they #lawyers who may handle your defense.

Defend your #privacy everyday, and by so doing, help others do the same.

Use TorBrowser and I2P.

🇷🇺 Russia's 'Sovereign Internet Law' has offered power to block websites.

Some may recall the blocking of  Tor in last weeks leading up to Ukraine.

Russia Is Quietly Ramping Up Its Internet Censorship Machine

Since Vladimir Putin blocked Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter in March, Russia has been pushing away from the global internet at a rapid pace.

Readers of #investment site, #ZeroHedge may be interested to know its a Goog asset, without specifically expressing itself as such. Its served via G.

Its a #GoOGlE domain and, we assert, #tracker feeding data to G and possibly other #frontRunners, about how ppl are using the oft-celebrated website.

"#UseTor"? They see how far a person scrolls on pages (see #lazyLoading).

While the site lists G in its disclaimer as a source of #news, G is noticeably absent from their #privacyPolicy.

There's the #clearnet which is taking us all for #absoluteFools, and then we have the "New Internet".

Erm, how long has the #NSW govt website been going through #Amazon?

Sweet Jeebus.

Also features Google and CloudFlare trackers… and non-integrity-checked JavaScript. But that's just a 2 minutes appraisal. See #UBI for more info.
