    1. it does tho as that is the entire point
    2. it won’t, as that logic doesn’t make any sense.

    ** you should remember that desktop Linux as is, is horribly insecure and any security increase is putting you leagues ahead of most others. immutability is ensuring a minimum level of stability and security.








  • I said nothing about not having anything to hide. I said it doesn’t mean much. dns resolvers were intended to be cloud based. the only difference between nextdns and standard dns resolvers is the control over function nextdns hands the user.

    using cloud services also allows home devices to stay secured via keeping ports closed. the whole “the cloud is someone else’s computer” is just another way of saying “I don’t know how to practice good opsec”.

    your isp/vpn provider also can log all your data, or are you going to suggest running everything over tor now?

    a dns query does not send that much info since all the contained data from site to user is encrypted and takes network routes separate from the DNS query.


  • Firefox has a weaker sandbox than chromium and less mature site isolation and therefore has lower security. privacy is a different story, but remember you’re only as private as you are secure so Firefox is inherently not that private assuming a malicious site escapes the sandbox.

    I’m fully against chrome’s growing monopoly as well as Google surveillance capitalism but let’s not be so dramatic with the “google mother ship” nonsense.

    using chromium as a base does not equal data being sent back to Google, just like using Android as a base doesn’t inherently send data back to Google.
