I use Mullvad. Which other VPNs have no logs policies and are regularly audited? We list some here but maybe it needs an update:

Agreed. I use a #VPN all the time to protect me from the tracking and profiling that #BigTech invented.

iodé phones are amazing! 🥳

You think *this* is the beginning?

@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... fair. No, not the beginning. But perhaps a tipping point?

Bugger. The #UK government just said it's going to go for a full ban on #socialmedia for under 16s. So begins the slide to authoritarianism.
Please @nprofile1q... and Big Brother Watch and Foxglove - crank up the campaigning to get this decision reversed!

Our colleague has replied to this topic on https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/117968/enh...
@nprofile1q... hi there!
Thank you for replying.
At that link Tarquin says "if a website is abusing these standard APIs to use them for tracking purposes, then it will be treated as a tracker, and can be blocked by the tracker blocker."
How can you know an API is being abused?
Also: the focus seems to be on 3rd party trackers. What about 1st party? The examples given are shops, but we are more worried about the #bigtech companies. How to block them? e.g.Google has fully switched to Fingerprinting.

@nprofile1q... is there any chance you could remove the API that exposes battery % to websites? According to this site
https://sinceyouarrived.world/taken
"Firefox removed this API in 2016. Your browser still exposes it."
Same goes for exposing the GPU.
That would go some way to reducing the fingerprinting.
For everyone else: imo this is why you should always use a VPN - IP address cuts to the chase for the creepy surveillance economy (they don't need to try so hard with fingerprinting if they have that)

@nprofile1q... forgive my ignorance but will it ever be possible to install extensions in Vivaldi mobile, like we can in Firefox-based mobile browsers?
I know your ad+tracking blocker is pretty good, but it's a shame not to be able to also bust out Privacy Badger or Ublock Origin on mobile.

yes #bigtech cannot be trusted. The only way is to sidestep them!

Having awarded a major contract to (controversial) data firm Palantir, a growing number of NHS staff are refusing to work with the firm's tools for ethical reasons, with wider passive resistance to it...
@nprofile1q... and while we're rejecting #Palantir why not cut to the source of most problems: our behavioural data being harvested by #BigTech
I set up a non-profit, the Rebel Tech Alliance, to show people all the non-spyware alternatives that they can switch to:
https://www.rebeltechalliance.org/
We have a step-by-step programme called the #BigTechWalkout 😁 Collective action we can all take individually!
