Pure chromium is alright, but you really shouldn’t lick any compound containing chromium(VI): they’re highly carcinogenic.

Ah, I stand corrected.

• DAITA adds noise to your traffic, in order to prrvent AI packet analysis. However, most people don’t need this, and it limits your server options as well as increasing your bandwidth usage. Leave it off unless you need it.
• Multihop routes your traffic through two Mullvad servers, in order to further obscure your IP address. Turn it on for added privacy, unless you have problems as a result.
• Local network sharing means you can still connect to devices on your home network while using Mullvad VPN. This includes things like networked printers, network attached storage, and the web interface on your router. Turn on unless you’re sure you don’t need it.
• API access just checks to make sure you can connect to Mullvad at all. The API is what gives you the list of servers and provides your computer with the connection info. Have a look if you’re interested, but you shouldn’t need to change anything.
  • If you are on a hostile network, this part of the settings also lets you enable bridges, which can help to circumvent local VPN blocks.

Oh, I thought they meant firmware.

LineageOS or /e/OS would be my picks. Graphene and Calyx are better, but likely don’t support the device in question.

RIP DivestOS.

Because Google are dicks.

Well, this wouldn’t be my main email; it would be just for the site. Thank you so much!

Posteo ftw!

I got my Grandma to switch to DDG after she saw an advert for it on TV.

My Gran, meanwhile, didn’t need convincing. She uses Ecosia, because she likes the whole reforestation thing they’re doing.

Yeah, that sounds like she clicked an ad. Personally, I’d recommend switching to Startpage, Whoogle, or SearXNG; but I understand that might be easier said than done.

Odysee is A video platform of LBRY. There is also LBRY for desktop and Android, and Librarian is an alternative frontend.

Slightly moreso than YouTube, but you should really use Librarian or the LBRY app.

Also, be warned that Odysee is alt-tech.

So, kinda like a cross between FreeTube and Torrent? Interesting idea…

Depending on the client, yes!

I believe in Windscribe and possibly IVPN, you can set it to connect to certain servers on certain networks.

If you run Linux, you can also do this with any VPN via NetworkManager.
