It shouldn’t, they are a non-profit foundation that is funded by donations. But take it with a grain of salt.



I suspect that might be the case with the two sections for corp specific trackers, they seem to focus on some feature of brave. I wonder if firefox and tor mitigate it differently.


It doesn’t take an expert to see that the blog’s argumentation is absurd and extremely paranoid, if not outright conspiratorial.


I don’t like to participate in pointless discussions, but I’ll at least clarify it to avoid more silly replies.

-I call the other user a propagandist just for using the other user’s language, obviously the correct thing would be hater.
-The article is crap and I criticize the nonsense of praising it. This is not a defense of telegram, nor being against criticizing it.
-I called them bots in a mocking way for their conclusion to the article.


Are you both bots? How can anyone read that crap and say it’s a great breakdown?
It’s a single widely known issue, and it can literally be summed up in one short sentence: by default it doesn’t use end-to-end encrypted chats, which are also far inferior in functionality.

I’ve never seen a pro-telegram propagandist, but you anti-telegram propagandists are swarming and very tiresome.



Bonus for the privacy-conscious; It has better privacy and cryptography.

This is highly questionable, but it should be mentioned that it is radically worse if you don’t use “secret chats” (less convenient), the normal ones don’t even have end-to-end encryption.

PS: It’s quite bizarre to answer directly to someone to discredit, but without giving the opportunity to refute…


Physical SIMs you can get on the street in many places, vending machines, eBay, wherever.

Unfortunately there are many countries where the law requires activation with identity documents.
Surely somewhere one can find them already activated, but I wonder what legal or other kind of problems it may cause.


I guess reasonably well? It’s hard to assess, but anyway I also use user.js from arkenfox which includes many other changes; they also have this service to detect fingerprints that I suspect you are interested in, it has the particularity to detect tampering.


Oh, I used canvasblocker for a lot of years, it’s great. But I disabled it because from arkenfox it is not recommended together with privacy.resistfingerprinting.


I get 100% using only ublock in firefox, without configuring either. Note that stacking filters not only reduces performance, but also increases your fingerprint.


Maybe this will make people think twice about getting pregnant.

Are you implying that women have to be held responsible for their actions? What a bold and sexist argument! It’s easy to evidence it by reversing the genders, can you imagine men being forced to support their children and being held responsible for choosing to have sex? Oh wait, that’s right, but it’s not like they are forced (prioritizing the mother’s whim to raise) even if they are not able to do it or has been raped by the mother… oh wait, that happens too.

Speaking a bit more seriously I would like to add (since I am sure that many people have not read the news), that the young woman caused the abortion at 23 weeks when there is already a (slim) reasonable viability, and that she had a choice to do it legally until 20 weeks. Also and going back to sexism, that fathers have so few rights that (without a marriage) they can’t even keep their children if the mother chooses to give them up for adoption.


At a quick glance, cromite apparently intends to be much stricter on security and privacy, over usability.


and we won’t collect any usage data without your awareness and consent first

If it really requires explicit and informed consent, then that’s ok.
