4 - mullvad is auto-updating, if you want to replace libreWolf

riseUp is slow. free vpn of Proton, depending on traffic and your exit, is a lot faster. Proton proved themselves to be trustable.

you can always upgrade to their paid service to have more options and servers, if you like. You can download your configurations to use your choice of addOn, app, software

mullVpn also is considerable, if you’re going to pay (i don’t use it but I’ve heard/read only + views

i use tor and orbot regularly. There, sadly, are too many sites that block them by default :/

you’re not the product on tor/orbot, protonVpn and riseUp.

now that i see that list, the app became a lot less interesting :/

i used to use a firefox addOn that had the same function, but it created noise by “clicking” on random links starting from a user defined page

copy paste from another comment under this post:

Megaphone (formerly Panoply Media) is a Software as a service (SaaS) business owned by Spotify. The company provides software for podcast hosting and monetization as well as an ad network to generate additional revenue for podcast publishers.

apparently they host their own content under a different name

Wikipedia confirms

i may hate ads but can 20k Hz exist without this ad money?

any podcast that’s hosted on megaphone has them

this, from vox, is one of the worst ☞ https://feeds.megaphone.fm/VMP9331026707

i love 20k hz but they have tooooo many ads ☞ https://feeds.megaphone.fm/20k ! megaphone again :/

ps: megaphone and simplecast block Orbot. They have to know where you are to choose their ads

it’s an “always-on vpn connection”. NetGuard passes through the apps in the exception list unfiltered

in netGuard you can create exceptions for apps that “do not work with” a vpn

PSA: We’ve received questions about push notifications. First: push notifications for Signal NEVER contain sensitive unencrypted data & do not reveal the contents of any Signal messages or calls–not to Apple, not to Google, not to anyone but you & the people you’re talking to.

In Signal, push notifications simply act as a ping that tells the app to wake up. They don’t reveal who sent the message or who is calling (not to Apple, Google, or anyone). Notifications are processed entirely on your device. This is different from many other apps.

What’s the background here? Currently, in order to enable push notifications on the dominant mobile operating systems (iOS and Android) those building and maintaining apps like Signal need to use services offered by Apple and Google.

Apple simply doesn’t let you do it another way. And Google, well you could (and we’ve tried), but the cost to battery life is devastating for performance, rendering this a false option if you want to build a usable, practical, dependable app for people all over the world.*

So, while we do not love Big Tech choke points and the control that a handful of companies wield over the tech ecosystem, we do everything we can to ensure that in spite of this dynamic, if you use Signal your privacy is preserved.

*(Note, if you are among the small number of people that run alt Android-based operating systems that don’t include Google libraries, we implement the battery-destroying push option, and hope you have ways to navigate.)
