why are people here obsessed with this, you think federal agents care about your mundane life? or care enough to shill bad software here? no, these are just the only offerings that are popular or exist. if you disagree you could post alternatives, but you can't, because you are lazy/stupid or because they do not exist. so it is easier for you to meme about being in a spy novella

Why have you posted this thread on every imageboard on the internet in the last few days?
>>
So here is a list I created of basic analog privacy tools to consider using in the current landscape:

Pen and paper.
Landline with rotary phone.
Fax machine.
Typewriter.
Dictionary.
Stop using computers.
Stop using cell phones.
None of you are doing anything worthwhile with them, anyway.
Thank you for attending my TedX Talk.

Lmao at NordVPN being recommended. They're pozzed as hell and keep logs, and will even report to your ISP if you use it for shit like piracy. Try AirVPN for an actually good no-logs VPN

Are there any good and free email providers? I'm sorry but I ain't paying a monthly fee for email.
I was thinking of switching to iCloud or maybe infomaniak, are they good options?

Thanks for this. I live in the EU and we're about to be living in 1984 in a few weeks because they're bringing in mass surveillance (officially it's meant to catch child predators, but they will be scanning literally everyone's private messages even if there's zero suspicion of them being a pedo). I want to try and lock down my privacy as much as I can before Chat Control is implemented.

Mojeek (aka Moshiiiit) is absolute trash, like DuckDuckGo, Gibiru and most others. Full blown propaganda and censorship of Orwellian degrees.

> Mojeek = Crap

It was bad a few months ago when I would get low quality results at the top and sometimes not what I was looking for at all, but the results are getting worse. I agree with the comments above, don't waste your time with it.

hey, its you OP. Again. You're the only one who makes this fucking typo shilling around myallsearch. Why are you such a shill? Are you from israel?

>NordVPN

Are you joking? "In 2018, a data breach occurred at a third-party data center that NordVPN used, resulting in unauthorized access to one of its servers in Finland. The breach, which likely happened in March 2018, was caused by a poorly secured remote management system."

Enough said

It works great over Tor and they have two javascript versions (Lite and HTML). The results are basically a proxy for Bing which is the only other decent index outside the Google ecosystem. Search bangs like !w and !yt are also super convenient. I don't really see what's not to like about it.
>>
>>106525346
While I don't remember the details, I vaguely recall there being some controversy surrounding their privacy policies a number of years ago.
