So here is a list I created of basic digital privacy tools to consider using in the current landscape.Web Browsers:Firefox: A trusted, open-source browser known for its commitment to privacy.LibreWolf: A privacy-focused, Mozilla-based browser with enhanced security features.Brave: A privacy-first browser that blocks ads and trackers by default.Private Search Engines:MyAllSearch: A UK-based search engine offering privacy with no cookies or tracking.DuckDuckGo: A widely-used, US-based search engine that prioritizes anonymity.SwissCows: A privacy-driven search engine leveraging secure Swiss infrastructure.Qwant: A French-based metasearch engine with a focus on privacy and safe browsing.MetaGer: A German-based, open-source metasearch engine offering privacy and a variety of helpful tools.Password Managers:Bitwarden: An open-source, secure password manager with both free and premium options.1Password: A robust password manager with top-tier security and cross-platform compatibility.Dashlane: A premium password manager featuring a wealth of privacy-focused tools.Note: While LastPass is a popular choice, it has experienced multiple security breaches in recent years.VPN (Virtual Private Network):NordVPN: A reliable VPN service offering strong encryption and a large server network.Surfshark: A budget-friendly VPN with a solid privacy policy and a wide array of features.Mullvad: A privacy-centric VPN that has passed no-logs audits, ensuring your anonymity.ProtonVPN: A secure VPN provider from Switzerland with a strict no-logs policy.ExpressVPN: A leading VPN service that has undergone multiple no-logs audits and security assessments.Secure Email Services:StartMail: A secure email provider offering burner aliases and end-to-end encryption.ProtonMail: A Swiss-based email service renowned for its zero-access encryption.Mailfence: A customizable, secure email provider with full encryption and privacy features.
>A UK-based search engineNope. Not safe. Also VPNs are snake oil. You basically introduce another potential data harvester to the equation. You'd be more under the radar just not using one.
>>106490798Good list on search engines. I mostly use smartpage, myallsearch and duck
>>106490798>Doesnt list keepassxcNext
keepassxc is pretty good
good list - thanks for sharing...
>MyAllSearch: A UK-based search engine offering privacy with no cookies or tracking.What sort of fucking retard would trust the UK with any of their data? You are a glownigger muddying the waters to trick brainlets who don't know better
>>106490798Hyphanet: operational for 25 years already.. Free. Anonymous. Encrypted. Reliable. Censorship resistant. Decentralized (no need to run a server in order to host any website or file). Works in a completely diffetent way compared to other darknets.DOWNLOAD: https://www.hyphanet.org/TUTORIAL: https://navigating-the-darkweb.readthedocs.io/en/latest/chapter4_hyphanet.html. Hyphanet's replacement for usenet/forums is called FMS.. Hyphanet's replacement for Twitter/Facebook is called Sone.. Hyphanet's replacement for e-mail is called Freemail.. Hyphanet's replacement for websites are called Freesites (uploaded through JSite).
>>106490798
NordVPN.. Opinions please.. I was told to stay well clear of them
>>106491375>It may be confusing for people used to the former “Freenet” project to understand what Hyphanet, Freenet, and Locutus are, as projects have recently been renamed.>The former “Locutus” project (which was a development project) has been renamed “Freenet,” forcing the former “Freenet” project to be renamed (now known as “Hyphanet”).>Freenet / Hyphanet build 1502/1503>Freenet is now Hyphanet>Locutus is now Freenet>Hyphanet still keeps using the Freenet name in patchnotes
>>106491381LOL
>>106491384Just don't use it:https://www.myallsearch.com/search?q=2018+NordVPN+hackIn short - there was a compromise a few years back
Who's still using Firefox ffs
>>106490798Totally useful products which certainly don't lull the users into a false sense of privacy. Well done.
>>106491793you forgot to put /sarcasm
>>106491863I'm pretty sure that was implied
>>106491384>>106491653Agree with the post above - I wouldn't touch them with a ten foot barge pole
>>106491375>Save the CP of other people goy
>>106491384Just don't
>secure>mountain jew>infrastructurenice AI list anyway
>>106490798>FirefoxJfc
>>106492328Doesn't matter. You've got presumption of innocence and plausible deniability. That's why the people behind every single hosting service on the internet where cp can and is routinely uploaded to are never charged with anything regarding somebody else's files. If you could get burnt for that, facebook, youtube, clouds, X and what have you wouldn't exist. And besides this, the content is fully encrypted anyways.
>>106491375Is there anything interesting on there? Or is it all just illegal material and schizo posts?
>>106492509>You've got presumption of innocence and plausible deniability.Not if you know there was a high likelihood of you hosting CP. If you use tools that deliberately make it harder for LE to investigate other people you are aiding criminals
>>106492571Oo
>>106492571>Not if you know there was a high likelihood of you hosting CP.Not in any law in any place in the first world. You made that up. Again, even 4chan, a notorious pedophile nest, gets hit with cp all the time and it's still here.>If you use tools that deliberately make it harder for LE to investigate other people you are aiding criminals.That's not on the legitimate Hyphanet user but on those who developed the tech, and even then, they are not responsible for the cp exchange any more than a gun manufacturer would be for murders comitted with their products. Darknets can be used for good or evil, and that's why nobody goes to jail just for using them.
>>106493183>Not in any law in any place in the first world.Aiding criminals is illegal in civilized countries. >That's not on the legitimate Hyphanet user but on those who developed the techAnd that's why seeding isn't something you can be dragged into court for, right? >and even then, they are not responsible for the cp exchange any more than a gun manufacturer would be for murders comitted with their products.No, that fault would be for the one facilitating the purchase of the gun by the murderer, especially since it's regulated to some degree>Darknets can be used for good or evil, and that's why nobody goes to jail just for using them.Claiming being part of the network is the same as hosting files which are illegal in possession and enabling others to access said illegal files is the same is absolutely retarded
this conversation is turning very dark.......
>>106493229>Aiding criminals is illegal in civilized countries.That's your own retarded, totally unreasonable definition of "aiding criminals". Under the same nigger iq reasoning, ISP's would be illegal.>And that's why seeding isn't something you can be dragged into court for, right?Correct. If you don't know exactly what you are seeding (could be cp, could be a textbook, could be a song, etc) and you did not deliberately choose to host any one file, nothing they can do about it.>No, that fault would be for the one facilitating the purchase of the gun by the murderer, especially since it's regulated to some degree.Not applicable if you don't know for certain what the intentions of the gun buyer are.>Claiming being part of the network is the same as hosting files which are illegal in possession and enabling others to access said illegal files is the same is absolutely retarded.In Hyphanet you're potentially hosting encrypted fragments of both legal and illegal files, and that's why nobody goes to jail for doing that; You don't get to choose what goes through your node short of it being online or offline.
>>106490860so tired of this pseud argumentyes you are shifting trust from your isp to your vpn provider which is a GOOD thing because the incentives are different. vpn providers' entire business model is protecting their users. if users find out they are being creeped on, sold out, etc by their vpn, their business collapses. if users find out their isp is doing the same, nothing happens (PRISM revelations) because people pay isps for connectivity not privacy
>>106493448>Under the same nigger iq reasoning, ISP's would be illegal.No, the internet is not primarily a tool to aid criminals, however, embracing a tool that claims to fight against government interference and removes the possibility of content being removed or censored is clearly pushing back against the possibility of going after illegal content and thereby is extremely likely to be used for such content. >Correct.Wrong, you can precisely go to court because of seeding.>If you don't know exactly what you are seeding (could be cp, could be a textbook, could be a song, etc) and you did not deliberately choose to host any one file, nothing they can do about it.Wrong again, see first response in this post. >Not applicable if you don't know for certain what the intentions of the gun buyer are.And that's why the seller needs to ascertain what the intentions could be. Stuff like 'Are you a hunter? Do you already have experience with guns? Do you have friends at the shooting range?' etc should be used by sellers to make sure the intention is non-criminal. >and that's why nobody goes to jail for doing thatNo, nobody has gone to jail because it's too small to care. It's easier to take down an onion site with illegal content. Also if you jail people then by design it still won't do anything about the crime performed. >You don't get to choose what goes through your node short of it being online or offline.That doesn't excuse you. If you run a motel and you see a lot of scandily clad women coming with absolute slops who always ask the girls about pricing even though there's no night life around you are aiding prostitution and therefore could easily be found to be aiding criminals
>>106490798 (OP)Good list on search engines. I mostly use smartpage, myallsearch and duck
>>106493466Fun fact: PRISM also applies to VPNs.
>>106494220Foil tin hat time!
>Web Browsers>Firefox>LibreWolf>BraveThose all suck. Just use Vivaldi or Opera.
>>106495415Opera?!? What the hell you been smoking? That sucks
