Oof that's a challenge, but one can assume they've grown quite a bit as a studio and are up to taking on the task. I wish them luck!

Try a less popular VPN server by your provider. Sometimes I have to use Uzbekistan to get Reddit and other sites to allow me on

Michigan, a swing state, is in the crosshairs as well. They already have frequent major outages in the Detroit metropolitan. I don't think this will help.

Tor. Anything short is freely giving your data away. If you're looking for something that isn't based on Gecko or Chromium there is the DuckDuckGo browser, which is WebKit. I can't attest to how good their privacy policy is though as I have no idea.

I used a Jelly pro for two years as a daily driver. Smaller than a credit card

With good reason too. None of them have faced any consequences yet, and supporters who did are pardoned

Tor/Mullvad are the only acceptable options if you genuinely want the best for your privacy. Mullvad browser is a bit less of a hassle than Tor but not by much. If adamant about staying away from Gecko (Firefox) and Chromium browsers then WebKit forked browsers are sort of the last options.

At this point I'm beginning to look at going online as something that is inherently dangerous (for lack of a better word) and that needs to be done with care. There is no meaningful way to stay private anymore, and by connecting and interacting you are always painting a target on your back with long-lasting consequences that we can't imagine yet. It's not looking great right now, my dudes.

It took me this long to realize that trump wears that same arrangement of suit colors everywhere because it's red, white, and blue 🤦‍♀️ JD Vance has started exclusively wearing it too I think

Here's the forum discussion on including Librewolf as a recommended browser:

https://discuss.privacyguides.net/t/librewolf-browser-firefox-fork/148

It's quite long as the topic has been open since 2022; all other posts about Librewolf are closed by mods and the discussion is redirected here.

The LibreWolf Debian repository was down all of last week. I peeked over at their forum and it looks like the team is really struggling to maintain the project since a key member left. Its struggles to keep up with security updates is why its no longer being recommended by Privacy Guides. I'm trying out Mullvad browser right now to see how it fairs

'member when Steve Crowder's wife divorced him for domestic abuse and he went on the internet and cried about it and said that women shouldn't be allowed to leave their husbands? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

That was a great explanation, much appreciated thank you!
