You too can get his by disabling history

I don’t think those two facts are related? Your isp doesn’t need to connect to its servers from within your local network to track your internet usage. Something else in your network must be trying to connect to that domain

I’ve been using Vivaldi as my logged in browser for years. I like the double tab bar groups, session management, email client, sidebar and tab bar on mobile. It is strange to me that tab bar isn’t a thing on mobile on other browsers despite phones having way more vertical space than computers. Although for internet searches I use a seperate lighter weight browser that clears its data on close.

Ecosia also been using for years. For a while it was geniunely better than the other search engines I had tried but nowadays it’s worse since it started to return google translate webpage translation links based on search region instead of the webpages themselves. Also not sure what to think about the counter they readded after removing it to reduce the emphasis on quantity over quality like a year ago.

I don’t use duckduckgo as its name and the way privacy communities used to obsess about it made me distrust it for some reason

Not mounted by default I assume

It doesn’t need a carrier to be an open standard.

So all tiers are getting discontinued… Unless there is an unlisted custom tier? It’s hard to imagine duckducgo only processing 250 requests per second. But then maybe that is enough and didn’t they make their own index anyways? Maybe that was to ease the load

Oh and they suggest using ai instead

So the problem is that anyone can do it?

The fact that that made the news shows that that’s not a common occurance, not to mention that it was the guy’s own government who snatched his phone, not a foreign spy agency.

Trump has been attacking anyone who supports Palestine regardless of if they are crossing the border or not. People really should be cautious when travelling to countries with authoritarian governments but that’s not because they’re crossing a border or are in a foreign country, it’s the same caution that needs to be observed by anyone living in such a regime

I’m not talking about oop, I’m talking about the guy I replied to who said:

Any foreign travel (for whatever definition of “foreign” applies to you), should be made with the assumption that someone will be attacking your electronic devices.

Fair, then let me make my point clear: most people don’t have any reason to think they’re in any more danger of getting hacked abroad than at home. And I strongly dislike how blatantly paranoid comments like the above one get so many upvotes on lemmy. This is the geek’s version of doomsday prepping

I don’t know who you are but most people’s threat model doesn’t need to include a foreign government spy agency physically attacking their phones. That assumption itself is insanely paranoid.

Edit: Hello?? It feels weird to ask this are yall high profile government workers or else what makes you think foreign governements will be so interested in what you have in your phone?

… so it is precisely the software they heard about in 2010
