  • I do ! I use NoScript in Firefox, and I allow scripts selectively when they’re needed. You’d be surprised how many websites just work with everything off !

    This may differ depending on your usage, though. I don’t really use in-browser apps if at all possible, and I don’t use conventional social media aside from YouTube and Reddit (PeerTube and Lemmy are better but there’s still too much info / people on the corporate versions to fully switch over)













  • Afaik, they were forced to log and report IP addresses for the user’s mail logins.

    They can’t do that for their VPN, though, so I’ve seen some people recommend you create your account through another VPN or via their Onion service, and then only connect with the VPN on.

    This seems fragile at best, and isn’t helped by the fact the most anonymous payment option they accept is cash by mail, which is still quite traceable. They also take bitcoin, which is extremely traceable.

    If they expand to accept Monero, I’ll reconsider, but for now I’m sticking with Mullvad. I use mailbox.org for mail, which does log IP addresses (for 4 days), but it is a separate account from my VPN so I don’t really care.

    I’m also put off by their recent posts supporting the Republican Party. It is really strange for a privacy company to support authoritarians, and the addition of them leaving Mastodon but staying on Xitter doesn’t inspire much confidence in them.
