An short explanation of what is this or what it does can make it gain some more traction.

For the lazy: Cwtch is a peer2peer messaging application and desktop program where everyone can host their own instance, it seems to me something similar to Matrix but I don’t know, here a picture of how it looks like.


Is it possible to protect my privacy while disabling uBlock to support some websites?
There are some websites that I feel deserve to have me disable uBlock so that they get a little support from me even if it is not much or maybe nothing, is it worth doing that risking my privacy or is what the site creators can get from me doing that so little that it is just not worth it? Or are there any other alternatives, other than of course donating? I use Firefox with uBlock, I know well that with Brave I can donate BAT to supported sites but honestly I don't like Brave and I don't want to switch to Brave being perfectly fine in Firefox.

Is Quad9 a good DNS provider?
In relation to privacy, I remember reading that Quad9 is a good DNS provider and that Cloudflare although in theory is the fastest DNS provider has basically alone the majority of the DNS market, which is obviously a bad idea. I also remember that recently Quad9 was fighting in court a case where a government wanted to block certain IP pirate pages but blaming Quad9 for "facilitating" them. I know that both Quad9 and Cloudflare are recommended on PrivacyGuides but I wanted to read some opinions on that.
