  • Does Private Relay hide what websites i visit from my ISP?
    2 projects | /r/iCloud | 4 Jul 2021
    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.

    I use the Tor Browser & launcher direct from the torproject out of preference but the torbrowser launcher is available in the repos.
  • Has any of you keep getting the Mormon ads on YouTube ?
    2 projects | /r/SatanicTemple_Reddit | 18 Jun 2021
    Since seeing certain ads and being tracked seems to be a concern for you, I'd highly recommend using the Brave browser and DuckDuckGo search engine -- this will give you an excellent starting-place at protecting your privacy online and blocking ads. If you want to go much further in ensuring privacy, the Tor browser will keep you almost entirely anonymous

  • Brave is not private.
    2 projects | /r/privacy | 9 Jun 2021
    Another thing, the Tor tabs in Brave are not private: The HTTP header leaks your time zone. People, use Tor Browser when you need privacy https://www.torproject.org/ Do not attempt to configure your own private browser (especially, do not modify Tor Browser): you'll probably just end up creating a unique looking browser that can can be always linked back to you.

  • Perchance Aether channel?
    2 projects | /r/perchance | 6 Jun 2021
    Aether is a (FOSS) Reddit alternative. It is based on privacy and decentralization, but even if you disagree with those ideals (or simply don't care) you must note that it is a quickly-growing platform with quite a few users already. It seems to have good support, and won't be going away anytime soon. However, since each Aether user is more or less also a server (think Tor), your bandwidth can suffer if you leave it running like it asks.

    You should try Tor. It's Firefox with the Tor Network for anti-censorship.
