  • I don’t know how direct quotes from the aforementioned religion’s books and the books themselves, supposedly written by their Gods, would be “misinterpretation” or “misrepresentation”. And although my knowledge is limited in the case of Buddhism, at least AFAIK the religion essentially focuses on accepting one’s suffering and ending it by losing one’s desires. It does have delusional aspects such as reincarnation, but I don’t really think they see Buddha as an absolutely virtous prophet. I could be wrong though, and I wouldn’t mind some sources for your claims.



  • No, you’re wrong in the sense that they literally collect 0 data on your Mullvad BROWSER usage. It can’t be another data point because Mullvad likely doesn’t even know if you’re using Mullvad Browser, let alone what you’re doing with it.

    Your point is only valid in the case of internet services, which a browser isn’t. A browser is a piece of software that can be replaced in a minute if let’s say Mullvad’s whole development team and CEO went full batshit crazy and placed backdoors in the public (and FOSS, so it can be forked) codebase, unlike e-mail etc. And your Google example is invalid because you can’t compare something like Google Chrome to Mullvad Browser.


  • It literally is? LibreWolf and other such “privacy browsers” only work to fool naive scripts, while Mullvad Browser works to completely mix you in with the crowd.

    CreepJS has removed its Visits feature (Visits would show how many browsers with the exact same fingerprint had accessed the site) for some unknown reason so I can’t really post a screenshot, but at least while I was using it around a year ago when it did have that my Mullvad Browser tests would always come up with the Visits value in the thousands, and LibreWolf only with 1.

    Mullvad Browser by itself isn’t foolproof though as you also need a VPN (preferably one that is usually coupled with Mullvad Browser) to actually mix in. Your IP could still theoretically be revealed this way by a state-level actor though, and if you’re engaging in illegal activity (doesn’t need to be drugs or anything, political activism is also illegal in many places) just use TailsOS with a WebTunnel bridge at that point, and preferably set Tor Browser’s security level to “Safest” (you have to do this everytime you restart if you’re using TailsOS).

    Some tips for Tor enjoyers: Pin NoScript to the browser toolbar so you can bypass the security level restrictions when you need to (not recommended for most cases, use at your own discretion). And if you’re having issues with the assigned IP address, you can request new Tor circuits via the sandwich menu on the top right.















  • What makes you say that? Any e-mail provider can intercept and read any e-mail they want to. This explanation by cock.li is pretty good on this issue:

    How can I trust you? You can’t. Cock.li doesn’t read or scan your e-mail content in any way, but it’s possible for any e-mail provider to read your e-mail, so you’ll just have to take our word for it. No “encrypted e-mail” provider is preventing this: even if they encrypt incoming mail before storing it, the provider still receives the e-mail in plaintext first, meaning you’re only protected if you assume no one was reading or copying the e-mail as it came in. When possible, you should use X.509 or GPG with your mail correspondents to encrypt your message content and prevent it from ever being handled in plaintext on our servers. You should also download and delete your mail from our servers regularly, which alone is almost as good as encrypting your mail.



  • Technically, yes, most sites won’t have such sophisticated logic. But any Google, Microsoft, or Meta service you use most definitely will.

    I really liked CreepJS’s “Visits” feature where it would show a counter for how many people have visited with exactly the same browser fingerprint (which would usually be 1 unless you were using Tor Browser or Mullvad Browser), but they seem to have removed it for some reason along with “Lies” and “Trust Score”. You can still check it out here though to see just how much identifying information even a simple hobby project can gather in less than a second.
