I'm a privacy enthusiast, advocate, maximalist...and political junkie. I aim to help make myself and others more private and secure.

@helenslunch that's what Mozilla is doing with their "less intrusive advertising" they're tracking their users at the same time.
"Mozilla has enabled a so-called privacy preserving attribution (PPA) feature that turned the browser into a tracking tool for websites without directly telling its users."

@Reddfugee42 @helenslunch its a feature, they want to steal your data, or serve you personalized ads, or reveal your identity to nullify your privacy.

Websites that respect your privacy don't require you to give up anything to use their services. Such as Mullvad.

@LWD Reddit works just fine as long as I don't have TOR turned on and its not behind another VPN as well, they don't take kindly to TOR and double VPN. I just accessed Reddit to verify and it does work just fine.

I don't normally use DeviantArt but....I just checked and it blocks you if you have Ads blocked in the DNS content blocker. Looks like they really want to get you those advertisements. Otherwise I can access Deviantart with Mullvad as well.

@helenslunch I haven't had any issues using Mullvad Browser for browsing any website but I have experienced websites that block MullvadVPN when WireGuard obfuscation is turned "On". When setting it to "Automatic" or "Off" it resolved the issue.

Haven't experienced any websites breaking since. 🫠

Edit: With the exception to banks because banks but that's a given with their hate for all VPN's.

@helenslunch @jecogeo Mullvad Browser is an excellent alternative to Firefox as well, it's a fork of the Tor Browser built to help avoid mass surveillance.
