I agree re: malicious compliance. Also leading w/ the web price knowing that the majority of their base uses mobile devices to connect

It feels like every other post on privacy and technology is someone pushing the (paid) search engine Kagi nowadays…
Didn't we see similar snap memes yesterday and the day before?
Redirector did it for me. The I found out about libredirect and started using alternative front ends for everything. from there I switched over to Linux and that’s all she wrote
