I hear that both CloudFlare is privacy respectful and that it spies on site visitors (with their CDN). What’s your thoughts on this matter?

      It’s entirely on you. You brought some valid points about how awful Cloudflare is, but that’s not what got you banned. Your baseless claim of Cloudflare DoH somehow MITM SSL is. You are indeed spreading some FUD, even here by strawmanning what exactly you got banned for

        So you believe Cloudflare is a good company with a good intent? That seems like corporate apologia, since you want to twist my argument into muh FUD.

          In this reply,

          • You imply that they believe something they never said
          • You say without evidence that it is likely corporate apologia, and
          • then accuse THEM off twisting YOUR words.

          Very impressive.

            In their reply,

            • They implied that they think I believe a narrative that I never promoted
            • They imply without evidence that Cloudflare has good intentions when its basis of existence is as Project Honeypot
            • then create a FUD strawman and justify ban when the voting ratio on the comments and in the post indicate a different kind of dialogue
            • totally ignore that my job is privacy and security advocacy, and make it a point to leverage Cloudflare over all the historical and current concerns that loom around them

            Awesome. I can play these pony tricks all day.

          Thanks for putting words in my mouth despite me explicitly agreeing that Cloudflare is awful.

          If that’s how you argue with everyone no wonder you are getting banned. The Mod that argued with you on Reddit had a patience of saint

      Firefox dev team are jerks, I use Librewolf that is a more secure and private fork of firefox.

        Librewolf is essentially a Firefox with user.js tweaks , and the fork will not last forever compared to the main thing. That is why I prefer modifying Firefox myself.

            I think it will, not just because the source code is open and free, but because of Tor Project and because there exists no government or plutocratic entity behind developing it, but a global open community.

            With Chromium, you have all these faults. Small blobs, Google plutocratic corporation and its ad network interests, DARPA/NSA interests and the Google developers being largely pro bourgeois capitalist slaves from the mind, who run for bread (money capital).

                  He is spreading a bunch of FUD, and calling me a FUD spreader. Beware of this user, shilling Chromium monopoly, crypto scam, crippled ad blocker, Tor that does not work properly and a bunch of terrible stuff.

                  this user's comments look bizarre here

                Brave is incomparable to Firefox in terms of privacy violations and other issues. It has broken Tor routing, apart from the following:

                Brave Browser is funded by DoD: https://np.reddit.com/r/privatelife/comments/fe34ls/exclusive_brave_browser_funded_by_dod_contractor/

                Brave traffic detected with Cryptocompare despite BAT rewards disabled: https://removeddit.com/r/privacytoolsIO/comments/gr8nue/

                Brave also has a known history of whitelisting Facebook and Twitter trackers, and has a crippled adblocker that does not work on Brave’s “acceptable” advertisements.

                Brave Browser hardcoded their crypto partner Binance referral links (https://twitter.com/cryptonator1337/status/1269201480105578496) alongwith Ledger and soon-to-be-compromised Coinbase (https://decrypt.co/31461/coinbase-wants-to-identify-bitcoin-users-for-dea-irs)

                    Why are you projecting your FUD, and doing your le lion work in a privacy community of all places? Oh nevermind you are a Brave user with a new Lemmy account.

                    Tor Project does not recommend Brave or use Chromium/Blink engine as its base, so there goes that. And Tor users are sensitive people, where in a lot of cases any amount of tracking can be a difference between life and death, or being arrested as an activist. For me, it could easily sometimes mean being shoved into a jail for months.

                    Brave Browser funded by DoD makes sense, considering the shill army that exists across reddit, Telegram, Matrix and other networks for its micro userbase. And of course, Peter Thiel and Palantir involvement should make anyone cautious before using it.

                    Brave is an absolute crypto botnet, with a bunch of telemetry that does not go away either way, as the link provided by me above shows. Nothing can defend that, not in a browser designed for privacy. If you do not want to use Crypto Wallet botnet, and BAT system, why not just use Ungoogled Chromium at that point?

                    I am not even getting into the rest half of your BS comment, which revolves around junk crypto coins. You spreading this level of FUD and trapping people into Brave should scare everyone.

                    Stay away from this user’s scammy advice, folks. Please stay away from Brave BATware. Use Firefox, Pale Moon or Ungoogled Chromium only. Use uBlock Origin medium/hard mode and a good HOSTS ruleset.
