Thanks Max!

The data brokerage giant sold face recognition, phone tracking, and other surveillance technology to the border guards, say government documents.

Can you recommend me some anonymous phone number services to use when creating account that requiring phone number verification?

This just blows my mind and makes me feel sick to my stomach that such company’s like CMG Local Solutions do this sort of thing even exist! 🤢🤮...

Just saw this update. I’ll quote from the previous article for a complete picture....

Hello everyone, I’m in search of a new Android browser. Currently, I’m using Via browser, which is lightweight and functions well with essential features. However, the only thing it lacks is a tracker library blocker. I’m contemplating switching to Mozilla Fennec, which does have a library blocker, but I’d prefer...

Anybody know about this search engine ?...

Sorry I don’t have an english version of this article, this is the best source I could find for it....

I’m so fed up of these cookie popups requiring a few extra clicks to reject, are there any extensions that will automatically opt out or reject additional cookies?

I use ProtonVPN for everything, and I’ve started noticing more and more sites simply blocking me if I try to connect to them through ProtonVPN. As much as it sucks, I’ve more or less become acclimated to having to deal with an increased number of captchas while using a VPN; but I’m pretty angry about being blocked...
