LinkedIn Is Quietly Scanning Your Browser Every Time You Visit

Research published on browsergate.eu reports that LinkedIn silently scans visitors' Chromium-based browsers for over 6,000 installed extensions, revealing indicators of sensitive personal data like religion, health, politics, and job-search activity. The platform can easily link findings to identified user profiles, which raises serious GDPR, ePrivacy, and general privacy and legal concerns.

**Switch to Firefox for LinkedIn, or use a separate Chrome profile with no extensions installed when visiting the site. And load up on all ad and script blocker extensions you can find, like Ublock Origin, Ublock Lite, Privacy Badger...**

We've signed an open letter by @fightforthefuture.org calling on Meta to keep encryption on Instagram available. 🔒

Why? Lots of activists use social media - and in times like these they need #privacy more than ever!

If Meta does not change its mind, your DMs will be open starting on May 8! 💡 Switch to #Instagram alternatives now: https://tuta.com/blog/instagram-alternative

Loops ships with a markdown powered CMS/Blog as an admin side feature.

Admins can manage all configuration settings from the dashboard.

Without restarting or re-deploying 🔥

Navigate the dashboard with keyboard shortcuts using the command palette.

This has been available for weeks btw ✨

Instance Administration doesn't have to be boring or ugly.

It can be pretty beautiful and powerful.

Like Loops and Pages.

Customize the Terms/Privacy pages with markdown support.

Or create custom pages, with access limited to guests, users-only or both, and add them to the sidebar, footer or neither.

In your browser, no env variables or file edits required ✨
