I was under the impression that Privacy Badger wasn’t considered useful any more . . . ? They should’ve just recommended using Firefox instead, yes?

EDIT: They spoke to, but IMHO, did not give enough time to, Cory Doctorow and Brewster Kahle. They mentioned Mastodon 👍, and described the Fediverse while not actually calling it that! A bit frustrating.

    Maybe just bad research. I haven’t tried, but I’m sure if you search for “how to protect yourself online” some of the SEO manipulating websites show up in the first results.

      Well, they spoke with the EFF which made Privacy Badger, so maybe that’s why. They did the password thing with the dice, tho, which I guess is good.

        Ok. Makes sense. The video is geoblocked for me so I probably should’ve kept my mouth shut
