Let’s just say I have… Some prior experience.
Most people do recommend Firefox, there’s just a strange contingent of “but for a browser that works great out of the box” people who keep insisting that Brave is the best

It released a browser that blocked cookies from pretty much every ad tech company except for Microsoft. When people pointed that out, it got updated pretty quickly to no longer do that.
It got reported as “the browser is sending your data to Microsoft”
Basically, Facebook keeps a profile on… Everyone, more or less. If you don’t use their websites, they still gather data on you across the web and offline.
Metadata includes:
For example, if we look at Whatsapp:
And that’s just if we take Facebook at its word
“They trust me. Dumb fucks” - Mark Zuckerberg, actually
In fairness
It’s like Vivaldi, if Vivaldi was actually open source
At least Opera has the distinction of having been a very different company back in the 90s when they maintained their own rendering engine entirely separate from the ones used by Microsoft, Netscape, run. They started back in the day when you would spend money on a web browser, and they stuck around for a while before finally becoming a shell of their former selves… And, ironically, a shell around Google’s WebKit/Blink rendering engine.
Brave partnered with a Washington DC based company to offer this VPN service to its users.
I don’t always use a VPN, but when I do, it’s as close to the White House as possible
That’s the same link as the one I posted 😅
My favorite Brave cope was a guy saying “you can just go to the system tools and remove the services”
Which, while technically true, is also true of malware
In privacy communities, for some reason the following two things are taken as gospel truth:
DDG’s biggest sin was failing to atone for their one mistake by not making a bunch more, so they would all run together and cancel each other out
Is this just the same thing as “typical” KYC or is it a different beast?
Nice to see I’m not the only member of the “clear and ongoing data breach” club. Surely this has to be legally actionable…
I have used the privacy.com masking service for a long time, and I prefer above its competitors.
The service is not good at hiding your transactions from, say, a government, but it’s sufficiently good at keeping your identity and money safe from rogue companies.
This service has saved my butt before. Once, I tried purchasing an old DVD off a schedule website for a physical place. The purchase never went through, but I had a $200 attempted purchase for “sewing machine” to the same masked card. It failed, because I set a limit of roughly $30 to the card. Then a second charge, for $1, almost went through… Except, by this point, the card had been locked to “sewing machine” and the fraudulent charges were no longer able to start.
Of course, if another service comes along with similar features to Privacy, with a similar cost, and perhaps a couple extra features (for example, Privacy could use a better privacy policy)! I would go pretty quickly to the superior service. It’s a little unfortunate that the competition is relatively minimal in the USA.
Snarky or not, you’re totally right.
I remember running into this issue recently, and I swear I did the same DuckDuckGo search as you did, but turned up entirely blank in terms of connecting my phone to a computer before going to the repair shop.
Either that or I tried the suggested remedies and came up blank, which seems highly likely, and still seems like various people could run into, even if they had the technological acumen to follow the instructions you found
Personally, I wouldn’t recommend having your passwords with your 2FA tokens anyway. The second factor should be something separated from the other factor, and if they’re both in the same place, I think that’s a problem.
You can get your tokens onto another mobile app from Aegis by selecting the tokens you want to export, and tapping the QR code icon.
You will then be shown the original QR codes. You can then scan them into a different phone, one screen at a time.
Depends if you’re a white collar worker, probably.
Shout out to INVISIV for creating something similar to, but not exactly like, a multi-hop VPN
