Haha thanks for the quick summary! I made my post as a joke. The line is from a movie called Master of Disguise.

There’s a dark side? Like in Star Wars?

I have been using Librewolf for several months now, and I am quite happy with it. In terms of user privacy, Librewolf by default has some strict settings enabled, like Resist Fingerprinting. Resist Fingerprinting does cause some minor problems, like incorrect timezones, but there is a workaround, as stated on the Librewolf website.

According to the Librewolf documentation, fingerprinting can be turned off, but they recommend adding the Canvas Blocker extension in its place. That is my current setup, as I didn’t like that websites in Librewolf couldn’t get the correct time and time zone for me.

Here’s the direct quote from the Librewolf documentation:

If you don’t like the downsides of RFP, or you are not concerned about fingerprinting, you can disable RFP in the LibreWolf settings, or in your overrides. In that case consider using an extension like CanvasBlocker to retain at least a minimum amount of fingerprinting protection.

Can they just focus on the browser? I really don’t need the AI stuff.

Cool! I would love to see the effectiveness of this procedure in treating headaches and migraines.

Um…really? I don’t think so!

Great! But, let’s remember this is Facebook after all, so… 🤷‍♂️

I don’t know whether to cautiously applaud or be even more concerned about another “AI” being released way too early than it should.

To quote a line from Star Wars, “This deal is getting worse all the time!”

Well, I guess now is as good a time as any to become a pirate. Drink up me hearties, yo-ho!

Well, for the users, I guess this is a lesson for them to not bank on a Big Tech company like Apple to cover their financial credit and transactions.

While I largely agree with the options that Tuta provides, I think the article could’ve been more succinct and to the point if they condensed all the Firefox forks like PaleMoon and WaterFox under one category. Also, I’m not sure if Brave should be on this list, not just because of their Chromium foundation but also because of their use of cryptocurrency, something I consider very suspicious and unsustainable. Finally, I question whether DuckDuckGo should be on the list. True, they are more private when compared to Google and all, but aren’t they limited to what they can block through their contract with Microsoft? I remember hearing/reading something about that.

Didn’t Robocop teach us not to do this? I mean, wasn’t that the whole point of the ED-209 robot?

Don’t forget about the Firefox forks like LibreWolf!

I recently discovered some YouTube front-end apps that provide a better interface than the one in the native app. It was thanks to this comment made on another post about YouTube and ad-blockers:

Not sure if you have seen this or not, but if not, do try some of them out.

That’s true, and as with any networking platform, whether that be a social media site or a messaging app, who you know and how many of them are on the platform is a strong determining factor in whether you join that platform or not. For now, I just have an account set up on both of those sites, just in case, but I’m not holding my breath for any of my close friends to join anytime soon.

I recently discovered Pixelfed and Friendica on the Fediverse. They are the equivalent to Instagram and Facebook, respectively. Perhaps now would be a good time to migrate over to those platforms?

I think I’m going to stick with my local hospital network and pharmacy. I’m doubtful that my health problems can be solved by a company with a very poor reputation on worker safety and wellness.

One thousand TikToks? How do you retain your sanity from watching that many?
