Is Waterfox the most recommended Firefox alternative nowadays after the recent Firefox controversy?

Also not sure I would call Proton privacy focused. I still use it, but they have been rating out an environment activist to French authorities before.

Well, Proton tries as best as they can, but they are not above the law.

They retain as little information as possible, but in the end when the authority come knocking best they can do is appeal, but in the end they can't refuse to hand that over.

Privacy does not exist in absolute, but only in relation to a threat model. If your threat model includes state actors coming after you, you should avoid leaving them your billing information, so pay with bitcoin or cash by mail.

If, like most of us here, your threat model includes mainly surveillance capitalism, then using a credit card is fine.

Ecosia also has a browser for Android and Windows/Mac. Just not Linux. Vivaldi is great for Linux.

Where's the part suggesting getting off social media altogether, and stocking up on guns, ammo, and cans of beans?
