  • You’re basically just running Firefox ESR with some config changes at that point and completely defeating the point of running Mulvad browser specifically by producing an absolutely unique fingerprint.

    This is not really correct, most sites do not look for injections into the page by addons, only a few do. I've run tests where I speedrun site bans on Facebook, Reddit, Github, and YouTube just to see if the fingerprinting on those sites prevents signups with my config, and it did not. Firefox ESR also does not include arkenfox + tor browser tweaks + removals of firefox telemetries baseline which provide gigantic privacy benefits and cannot be understated.

    Of course, this is more detectable in comparison to stock Mullvad Browser, but stock Mullvad Browser is a hard sell without more robust features for daily use. By pressing ctrl+shift+p you can go back to stock if the situation calls for it.

    And the alternative of course is using a much less private and secure browser, basically no one wants to constantly resign into accounts, browse slower, and miss out on certain crucial ways to block ads. If you want to be a privacy maximalist, stock Tor Browser is over there. For people that want a lot more privacy, good speed, while still keeping a handful of crucial addons and accessibility tweaks, nonstock Mullvad is a great choice.

  • They do not unfortunately, I desperately wish they did. The best options on mobile right now for a Firefox based privacy browser are IronFox and Tor Browser for Android. Personally, I don't think either of these are as polished and as snappy as Mullvad Browser on desktop. I think the chrome based browsers are more battery efficient as well, so its unfortunately best to go with them for now I think if you want privacy and efficiency at the same time. Of course, if you want to maximize anonymity you should always run base Tor Browser, but it is not fast and suitable for daily browsing imo, Tor Browser is for specific use cases where you need to maximize anonymity or to change IP from your vpn or local ip for some reason.

    If I were to recommend an Android browser, it'd probably be GrapheneOS's Vanadium (can only get it stock on Graphene) with RethinkDNS's adblocking and tracking filters and Cromite barring that. Neither of these are as good as Mullvad Browser on Desktop in terms of its speed and privacy benefits, though. Mullvad Browser is truly the crème de la crème for everyday sensible privacy use cases.

  • I don't give a fuck about convincing transphobes, I believe they should all be thrown off a cliff along with every other kind of bigot. Obviously, I will not pay a transphobe if I can avoid it.

  • Did you also unban and apologize to the person that posted that DM?

    Also, transgender people are people, not a topic. Imagine for example describing some sort of debate surrounding black people as "the black topic".

  • Has nutomic ever apologized for his transphobia? That behavior should never be rewarded

  • Can I donate only to Dessalines and not you? Cause fuck transphobes

  • Moving to a walkable city. Turns out I just hate cars and I hated the fact that I had to drive to have any sort of social gathering.

  • Lmao OK. I was looking at new phones coming out and all the Chinese phones have ultra thin 7000mah silicon carbon batteries that can operate in a wide range of temps while the average western phone has dogshit 4000mah lithium ion that degrades at 30c.

  • low fodmap gang

  • I serve the Soviet Union.

  • For the record you can exclude certain countries from your tor options. I am of the opinion that most people aren't going to need to avoid government stuff, but if you do, exclude, say, 5 eyes countries if you live in one. It'll make it quite hard for them to get the full picture

  • Mullvad and Tor and it isn't close. I use it to circumvent bans on social media when I say something too communist. Don't alter it with addons in any way its perfect as it is.

    If google, reddit, facebook, etc. can't figure out I'm circumventing them I consider that good enough.

    I also like Mullvad for most cases it has adblock by default which lowers the annoyances.

    Many websites will be pissy if you're secure as possible. Tor and Mullvad browser make them very pissy often. Its best to have a backup browser for that and normal activities. Librewolf and Ungoogled Chromium are good choices there. More secure, but fingerprintable enough that sites don't get pissy.

  • I'm friends with my spoon I'd hate to see it leave

  • Invizible Pro is the best option here. Uses Tor not a VPN though. Does firewall, i2p, and DNS. Is on FDroid

  • I would wager its not because of the meat but because microplastic contamination is much higher in processed food, especially meats. People are often eating the maximum dosage for plastics in a year in one meal. Its very hard to avoid. Microplastic contamination is highly correlated to dementia.

  • I'm currently discussing with people about mirroring it somewhere on lemmy, but there is also Transbucket which already exists as its own independent website.

  • Tell them to come to Lemmy ¯(ツ)

  • Show edited usernames and hexbears (and other instances that use the feature) pronouns next to usernames

    My edited username for example doesn't show she/her
