Reply to comment by Wahaha in Which browsers can you trust enough to use? by Wahaha
While I fancy myself a 'futurist' able to make fairly accurate predictions, I would not attempt that prognostication. Developers are an unreliable lot. The same one that creates a freeware app today is likely to sellout tomorrow, and include nasty bundleware with his app. In its early days, Firefox used to be one of the good guys, now it's just as likely to "fuck you over" as Chrome is:

Brave is another one that started out okay, then quickly crossed to the darkside:

I would not venture to guess which browsers will go rogue in the future. I can only list those that are okay now. Browsers are much like sites that source software. Right now, Softpedia and Majorgeeks are kinda/sorta safe...how long before they become as nasty as CNET is unknown.

I don't have accounts at those. Well I think I may have an old Ruqqus account or something.
Feel free to share yourself. Helps this site AND more importantly, helps protect the privacy of Brave users.

Reply to How to attract more crowd? by santorihelix
One way is to get Ramble better represented on the alternative search engines. Yesterday I did an experiment on Google, Duckduckgo, and Startpage. Tried two searches:
ramble
ramble.pw
The second was a sort of 'control', since obviously if someone already knows the full name, he would not need a search engine. On search one, Google came up with every possible answer but the right one. One search two, Google provided the correct link. On search one and search two, Duckduckgo failed to provide the ramble.pw link. On search one, Startpage provided every link but the right one...some were ramble.com, ramble.org, ramblechat, and rambleofficial. On search two, Startpage did list the ramble.pw link.
All three failed the test. Unfortunately I have no idea how to solve this...I can only point out the problem.

Don't even bother. Post it on Reddit alternatives like Ruqqus, Poal, Phuks, Notabug, etc. instead. Don't support sites that have heavy censorship.

/r/privacy on reddit won't allow this post because:
While we (vastly) prefer the Tor Browser over the Brave one, you'll need a better source than the one you found. Can you find something from a more widely recognized NetSec expert? Something along the lines of Bruce Schneier's blog or something at that level of credibility?
Does anyone else wish to replicate this to confirm?

I prefer i2pd because it doesn't use Java bloat.

Definitely always just use Tor Browser on desktop, if only to prevent sites from fingerprinting you.

It's disappointing, I'm wondering if it has something to do with how Chromium works? Perhaps using Chromium as a base was a mistake.

Reply to Request old.reddit layout option by beni_hull
I agree, a more polished look would definitely help. I can't browse reddit's new site, not sure how people navigate that mess. Old reddit is where it's at.
I need to put more into the dev site before pushing in major updates to this instance. There are a lot of little features that people want that would make the site better it's just a matter of figuring it out myself or trying to find trustworthy people who are more capable and able to assist.
A more "old reddit" look with RES features like post / image preview from the index of forums (though, JS required) would be a huge upgrade.

there is no "anti censorship community" but there is a pro-censorship lobby.
This, x1,000.

Reply to comment by mr4channer in What features do you look for in a VPN? by Rambler
Actually, e-mail verification is fine for me, as long as it will let me use aliases, like those Riseup has. But yes, I do hate CRAPTCHAs, especially the Goolag one. Sure, I can use Buster (https://github.com/dessant/buster, clear net only), but it doesn't really help when you're continuously using a service that requires it because you're still supporting the cancer.

I use the onion site because it's the network I'm the most familiar with (besides the clear net, of course - but I prefer Tor over it because Tor has at least some privacy baked in)

Reply to comment by awdrifter in Is there a browser that can ignore SSL error? by awdrifter
Well, according to the Internet: https://windowsreport.com/fix-ssl_error_rx_record_too_long-firefox-error/
I don't get this error, so.. who knows. Must be something on your end.

Clearnet, for now.

Usually the Tor onion site since it redirects automatically to it in the Tor browser.

Reply to Joe Biden is racist. Change my mind. by BasedPatriot
He'll still get the black vote by a wide margin, so it's hard to give a shit. Biden could put on blackface and reenact Song of the South on the White House front lawn and still lock that demographic. Nothing will make them not vote Democrat.

Anything that requires the download of an app is still a bad idea.
