Google engineers want to introduce DRMs for web pages, making ad-blocking near-impossible in the browser ( github.com )

Where do you see yourself in 10 years? ( lemmy.ml )
Please, do not use Brave.
I have seen many people in this community either talking about switching to Brave, or people who are actively using Brave. I would like to remind people that Brave browser (and by extension their search engine) is not privacy-centric whatsoever....

I just want to say that I'm so happy that people are taking notice of privacy concerns in cars
Mozilla released their studies, and I’m seeing a growing number of posts on the Internet about cars and the privacy nightmare they entail.

Assholes don’t let you delete your account and ask you to go to their privacy policy page and read through 500 pages of text to find the instructions on how to delete your account, only for it to say you have to contact them to delete it, and when you contact them they never respond back other than...
