Browser and Website Issue
You could try downloading TOR (www.torproject.org) but some people prefer not to use it because some people think that the TOR people are (bad? cheaters?) 'not good'.

Does Private Relay hide what websites i visit from my ISP?
The only difference Private Relay makes to this sequence is that it hides your IP from the website you're visiting in the networking phase by acting as a proxy. This is similar to what TOR does by routing your network traffic through multiple nodes before letting it reach its final destination. This process does not hide which websites you visit from your ISP itself IF they also act as your DNS provider, which is almost universally true.

How can the Safemoon card be decentralised and be private?
One of the solutions I've seen mentioned is effectively the TOR network on the blockchain. While this type of solution would not guarantee anonymity it would at least make it more difficult for people to "follow the money" through the network just as the TOR browser makes it difficult for the FBI to follow your web traffic.

Cybersecurity analysts of Reddit, what are some things/actions/habits that people think keep them safe, but actually leave them vulnerable?
The TOR browser (https://www.torproject.org/) will encrypt your request and send it trough three separate servers before it ends up at the destination. It's what whistleblowers use to send info to journalists.

Just wondering…
If you need that level of online anonymity you should use a dedicated tool with a solid track record (https://www.torproject.org/, or https://geti2p.net/en/) -- both are free to use by the way.

Hello r/FindMeADistro ,
I use the Tor Browser & launcher direct from the torproject out of preference but the torbrowser launcher is available in the repos.

What is the "dark web" and how do you find it?
Tor (probably what you're looking for)

How?
To access onion sites, follow the documentation in the Tor Project. That will tell you everything you should know and it is relatively simple to set up.

Mobile Ad Blocker Will No Longer Stop YouTube's Ads
Youtube seems to be doing some A/B testing with the comment system which has made proxies like Invidious and yt-dlp/Newpipe unable to load comments. There is a patch for Invidious [1] which solves this problem but it is not in master yet. I tested it on my own instance and it does solve the problem.

Google fights Invidious (a privacy YouTube Front end)
BTW, I don't understand the workaround: https://github.com/iv-org/invidious/pull/4552/files
Which was taken from here: https://github.com/LuanRT/YouTube.js/pull/624
Could anybody explain it to me?

YouTube is loading slower for users with ad blockers yet again
Use a Youtube proxy like Invidious [1], problem solved and you get to subscribe to channels without telling the Beast about your interests. Add Sponsorblock (which supports Invidious) to get rid of any in-stream advertising which remains and you'll be transported back to those hallowed times of yore when men were men, women were women and advertising was something you found in newspapers. Youtube will try to make this harder just like Xitter is trying to make it harder to use proxies like Nitter [2].

YouTube begins new wave of slowdowns for users with ad blockers enabled
Going to drop this here for others who haven't heard of it https://invidious.io/
Now, how do we fix this? YouTube's ad model sucks. Their algorithm sucks. Their front page sucks. They've captured a bunch of creators though so often YouTube is the only place you can find someone.
I want those creators to benefit from me viewing their videos. I want the fact that I view a video and like it to help other people find that video in their recommendations. I want an algorithm that shows me things that are interesting and relevant not one that promotes the spammiest and most ad heavy videos that barely have anything to do with my watch history.
Having an alternative front end is nice but I don't want to rob YouTube of the money they spend on hosting the videos.
So, how do we do this?
Peer to peer fails when there is little interest in something or when most people leech and it sucks for archiving old content.
Hosting it all in one place is super expensive and hard for a small group to manage without turning into YouTube.
Maybe we could find a way for the creators to host their own content and get paid when people view it while being part of a large federated network for easy discoverability?
Please list any projects you know of, I'm sure there are a lot of people here who would be willing to contribute or donate.
