Most search engines that claim to be private (StartPage, Qwant, etc) are fake and will try their hardest to sneakily profit from user data, with DuckDuckGo being the greatest example as they were caught selling user data to Microsoft, only stopping so when they were caught. The only search engine I would recommend is SearXNG. It’s feature rich and is primarily ran by privacy enthusiasts.

Disney is raking its customers over the coals with a 75% price hike for their annual subscription (originally $80.) People wonder why piracy is on the rise.Multiple commenters are saying I’m off base about the 75% price increase. My payment less than a year ago was $79.99. Here’s the proof.
There’s no unjustification for piracy anymore. If you’re gonna charge me this much to use your shitty streaming services that I use once in a blue moon then don’t cry when I instead download an mp4.
Originally I’ve download the signal app through playstore, but often it also get updates from Droid-ify(Fdroid client). Today its weird and I got this . Explain to me this....
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....
Please just stop flooding this community with Brave-related shit. We already know what a shitty browser it is, we aren’t living under the rocks you think we are.
For open source messengers, you can check whether they actually encrypt your messages and whether the server has access to your encryption keys but what about WhatsApp? Since it’s not open source, you can’t be sure that the encryption keys aren’t sent to the server, right? Has there been a case where a government was able...
It really sucks how a shit ton of money gives a company the ability to do anything they want and avoid legal consequences almost all of the time. It’s a corrupt society we live in.
If someone wants to use a VPN then they clearly care about privacy, which means they definitely know about Google’s business practices. In conclusion, nobody is gonna be stupid enough to use this.
UPDATE 2It seems that starting today, uBlock Origin is working to combat this Youtube Block. Mine started working again! Lets all thank the devs of UBO for fighting this fight!...
For me it’s quite strange. This first happened around 2 weeks ago, I was getting ads, however only the audio works as when the ad plays the screen is black.
I’m on Firefox with uBlock. Also I never got this popup, I just started getting ads with a black screen.
I’ve seen several people with usernames that aren’t actual words, and I thought they were pretty cool so I decided to follow along and come up with a cool non-word name myself. Forgot how I came up with “kworpy”
If they don’t want to then don’t continue trying to persuade them. Chances are they don’t care about privacy anyway, and even if they do, everyone has their own personal preferences.

I’ve being using Proton Mail as a free user for quite a while now, and I don’t really have anything to say about it. Though I was a former Tutanota user. I would say that Proton Mail is better due to its tracker blocking, link cleaning, and more.
These services think people get their money from trees. Also seriously who even pays for YouTube Premium? There are both adblockers and website download tools, both of which are completely free.
I’ve been wanting to move on from gmail for a while now, thought about self hosting but I’m afraid I won’t have the time or ability to keep it running well for a long period of time.

I recommend Proton Mail if you just want a simple, no fuss email service. It’s free with some paid options, but the paid options are super unecessary and pretty much useless if you just use email to sign up and send support emails. Proton Mail also blocks trackers and cleans links in your emails.
