    uMatrix offers me complete control over the requests that get allowed or blocked, so there's no need for anything else.

    Can you repost the article somewhere else? I can't access it.

    What can you really do with 1 megabyte? Clearly nothing serious. Why suggest it's free then? Neocities provides 1GB which is actually a relevant amount.

    I'm sure China thinks of their censorship as education too. Whether Mozilla is big or small changes nothing. Censorship is censorship.

    Mozilla has no business speaking about internet health. I mean they criticize China for censoring social media, when they have a freaking "Mozilla Information Trust Initiative" whi…

    Maybe because a "racism" thread will inevitably turn into a political shitstorm. There's thousands of other places to discuss politics.

    As they should - it won't be able to keep up with the increasing automation for long. Didn't read the article due to the obnoxious adblock notice.

    Pretty bad article - most VPNs have a very high privacy focus, while ISPs simply store all your stuff. Even a bad VPN is better than not using one. SSL is unreliable (Cloudflare MI…

    Regardless of what you think of the "militia" - the fact that a donation service can just get rid of you is a really dangerous situation. I mean the reason could be anything at all…

    There is no "it's going to be". It's been happening for a long time. The article is way too long to describe this simple issue, IMO. Millions of bartenders, cashiers, etc. losing t…

    Claws Mail is pretty awesome. Lean, sane UI. But manages to have all the relevant features.

    Just wanted to say that uMatrix can disable this. Browsers have been anti-user control for so long, we can't rely on them anymore to provide basic configuration even.

    That should be the standard for every device, regardless if it spies on you or not. It's so weird how the above article even had to be written.
