I wouldn't trust a free VPN, they're likely tracking your data and selling it.

That’s true. It can also be said with paid ones too a bit. I normally use that in case of public wifi. For here, I started to use Tails on a vm just get used to it for now.

If you're an Apple user (Mac, iPhone, iPad), I'd highly recommend the Orion Browser in place of Safari (or whatever else you might be using).

It's fairly new (currently in beta at the moment). It comes with native support for Chrome and Firefox extensions, and it's very privacy-friendly by default

Having AdNauseam working on an iPhone is nothing short of incredible, to say the least.

As far as I know, Mullvad has one of the better track records for privacy-respecting VPNs. In any case just think of it like shifting who can see your traffic and it's a lot easier to shop around. I'd trust a company who will take a financial hit if they get caught monetizing/sharing user data over my ISP or some public wifi, for example.

Seconding Mullvad. They also take crypto so you can even pay for it anonymously.

>just get used to it for now.

Nigga, just create a burner Proton account and make use of a USA or NL ProtonVPN server.
You have the option to upgrade to a Proton paid plan, but the free tier is still an excellent product in and of itself.

Can somebody recommend a search engine that doesn't require JavaShit for any of its functionality, at least for image searching? I don't know why web developers are so obsessed with this terrible language.
 
So I have an old Iphone. I would like to back up. What I mean is I would like to have all the text messages and audio memos my boss as texted me. Its a phone I used to use for work and not my main phone, I also dont use apple products so if there is a 3 rd party (I will pay for it) program that just down load the test photo data and let me look through it on my pc in chase I ever need to reference it again.

I would help.
 
How long until Bing is recommended over Google?

Unfortunately, there aren't any good search engines that exist without JavaScript. If you wish to make use of a search engine without JavaScript, you would have to resort to blocking it via NoScript or uBlock Origin.

If your primary concern is JavaScript, NoScript is the better extension to use for such a purpose. It's much more robust. This will, however, conflict with uBlock Medium Mode. If you wish to make use of NoScript alongside uBlock Origin, it's better to let uBlock stay on defaults (static filtering only) and do the more complicated stuff via NoScript.

By default, NoScript will set websites like "ajax.googleapis.com" and various CDNs/remote font sites to "trusted" because so much of the modern web is dependent on that for some inexplicable reason. You can easily move all of that stuff over to "default" and then have your settings arranged as such:

FYI - "object" refers to older "plugins" like Flash/Java among other obscure things that the <object> tag covers. Uncheck "ping," "unrestricted CSS," and "LAN" from your trusted defaults, and you're pretty much good to go.

The result? You can make use of tons of websites without JavaScript, and this goes beyond the domain of search engines.

It works decently. If you have a VPN you need to make sure it is on it's lowest available latency setting, especially if you are using the video chat feature. The desktop sharing works well enough as well.

I like it better than the Google or Skype products.

I'm thoroughly entrenched in the Microsoft ecosystem (read: Teams), so this is all useless to me on a practical level. With that said, here's some due diligence for any autistic tard who still has questions.

Tech Republic write-up on Brave Talk. Key takeaways:
  • Calls that involve up to four people are free. Groups of 4+ must pay $7/month for premium calls.
  • While the caller must use Brave, the meeting room link is not exclusive. You can theoretically send a Brave Talk link to someone on Chrome, and they'll be able to use it.
Per the launch announcement, Brave Talk makes use of WebRTC via an external provider. Friendly reminder that WebRTC is fundamentally designed to reveal your IP address to enable proper peer-to-peer functionality. Use of a VPN is highly encouraged.

Brave Talk is powered by the Jitsi as a Service open-source video meeting platform from 8×8, a leading integrated cloud communications platform provider (NYSE: EGHT), using WebRTC open-source technology that enables developers to embed HD video directly into the browser.

I recently installed Win 10 LTSC. Is there a good image viewer for it? Having image files open in the web browser or paint is annoying at times.

Isn't qView also available on Windows 10?

W7 photo viewer is dummied out in LTSC. There’s a RegEdit tweak you can do to enable it, but I’m too lazy to look it up
