  There is the part where you interact with Forefox. Without your data, it just won’t work. They need your timezone, your screen size,… I mean, that’s for every browser around, even the most hardened system. This data can be used for fingerprinting so you should be aware and you should agree upon that usage or quit the internet.

  i.e. using a browser is sending data towards that browser.

  It was never about free speech

  A study in semantics

  He’s not wrong in what he says but I’m quite sure he means something different.

  He’s not wrong. A judge can rule if there’s a trial and that judge will always have to apply the law.

  This is the moment where a kind product designer should step up and design you a Mad Max type of mask. People are watching you so you’d better give them something to watch ;-) Sorry, no advice about existing masks. Good luck!

  Thanks. I agree with your conclusion. I probably have spent too much time in privacy communities. In the end you’ll have to trust someone.

  I’ve set up some tunnels. Works nice but then the voices came. ‘Why would you trust a company like Cloudflare with all your data?’ ‘Why rely on this one company for all your services?’

  Nearly a year into my selfhosting journey and I’m more confused than ever.

  We have the long steel ones from IKEA. Solid. Never had any problems with them.

  Agreed. Nothing wrong with contextual advertising.

  And if they succeed at their goal than maybe, one day, we can finally get wrid of those horrible cookie banners.
