@loke @florian @phessler Re: The Brave Browser. After install, set the default search engine to Duckduckgo (DDG). You can also goto www.duckduckgo.com and install its extension that will automatically change the search engine in your default browser too DDGâs. https://brave.com/brave-tap-blockchain/
@loke @florian @phessler Hello, checkout the âBraveâ Browser. By default it blocks ads & trackers, upgrades http too https when possible and blocks fingerprinting. If you do install it, can click on the âlions headâ to see whats being blocked. From here, you can adjust settings for individual sites. To set default settings though, goto settings. Only, its âBookmarksâ are a little frustrating to use. www.brave.com
Firefox admits they will eventually be sending all of your DNS to Cloudflare. Cloudflare will monetize your internet browsing, no matter how much their PR people say they are.
If you want to disable that, go to "about:config", and set "network.trr.mode" to 5.
The values are: 0 - default off, 1 - race, 2 TRR first, 3 TRR only, 4 shadow, 5 off by choice
@phessler Hello there, by setting it to 5. What does this do? I have been using my vpnâs (Nord) providers DNS settings for some time now. Would I need to adjust mozillaâs settings in any way, once this new setting takes place?
@jonah I am also using âVeroâ www.vero.co
@jonah Hi Johan, I have it installed and have used it a little. It seems to be pretty cool, except I have not used it sufficiently and have not got to the stage of earning tokens
Hello Everyone, I am a Newbie in town and this is my first post. I came across an interesting article/video from Kevin Mitnick. It shows what happens when someone is hacked from using the âtext verificationâ method instead of setting up 2FA Authentication https://techcrunch.com/2018/05/10/hacker-kevin-mitnick-shows-how-to-bypass-2fa/
