System1 specifically, which is also mentioned in the article you linked. Privacy Tools has also lost their reputation recently. Privacy Guides is more of the standard now. I know they cleared up their position, but ads and privacy together just doesn’t sit right with me. I’m just glad there’s an alternative.
Transmission. Simple, fast, efficient.
If they bundled youtube music with it, maybe I’ll consider it. But this lite version will have ads on music and music videos.
They were bought by a shady company a while back.

Nice! I’ve been wanting to get off startpage for a while now. This is a perfect replacement.
If it’s only free if you pass, and you have to pay out of your own pocket, don’t bother.
A big chunk of the world’s population lives near the equator and has a tropical climate, and people have been living there way before airconditioning was invented.
I have one of their travel routers. Is there an alternative that ships with vanilla openwrt out-of-the-box?
Reminds me of the time I was at a security conference. Obviously there was a lot of networking going on and a group of people I was talking to decided to connect on linkedin. They were sharing the qr code thing from the app and I said I didn’t have it. At first they thought I wasn’t on linkedin (and were baffled at that), and I had to clarify I HAVE an account but I don’t have the app on my phone. They were confused and I had to explain how much info the app wants to grab. And this was at an application security conference.
On the other hand, some businesses would rather offload the manpower, maintenance, and risk to a service provider instead of doing it on-prem by themselves. Really depends on the business though.
Yes that’s the gist of it. You can even visualize it by using tables or charts. The goal is to identify the assets you want to protect and what threats you are protecting them against.
You’ll be hard pressed to find a new car in 2025 that doesn’t have steering wheel controls unless you go out of your way to look for one (if there is any).
There are buttons on the steering wheel to skip songs and adjust the volume.
I’m actually a fan of big screens, HOWEVER they should be limited to being an actual “infotainment” system only. All essential controls should be buttons, switches, and dials.
Using online banking means they need to create and maintain user accounts, which can then be phished. Online scams use wire transfers and they can be duped into sending money to a stranger. It’s not so much that online banking is insecure (although banks still insist on SMS 2FA which is not secure), it’s that it’s essier to scam people, especially seniors who are tech challenged.
Am I missing something in the link? I see the url yes, but I only see the quote of him endorsing startmail. Is there any other info on what kind of partnership they have? Genuinely curious because I use startpage a lot and will definitely stop if this is true.
It looks like they got that list of tips from the EFF, who created Privacy Badger. So it’s not surprising they only recommended theirs. I agree though that they should include uBO in the list.
GL.Inet sells routers that run openwrt out of the box. I’m not claiming they’re guaranteed to not be modified to collect data, but just giving an example that there are consumer grade products out there that are better options, you just need to look for them.
If it was the same pressure all the time, does that mean he couldn’t do anything that would otherwise cause a normal heart to beat faster (run, exercise, feel nervous)? Would he faint or something since his “heart” won’t beat faster?
