If you want privacy, sadly, you will have to pay. I am currently using Proton Pass (special offer 1$ monthly), you get a good password manager, plus unlimited email aliases.

Proton is also known to be one of the best Email Providers based on good privacy.

Why don’t you try becoming comfortable with Linux while using it in a Virtual Machine? I tried different distros too, and then I decided which one was the best for me.

We can’t really suggest you one, if we don’t know what you are going to use it for.

You may want to do some research, because different distros have different purposes (gaming, privacy, programming, easy to use etc etc).

Let us know, what your use cases will be?

It was hard for me too, but PopOS made my life easy back in the day when I first tried.

No drivers needed, everything worked out of the box, including the Nvidia GeForce 2060 Mobile. So I just needed to get comfortable with the OS in general.

As others have said, it may be the same WiFe.

I am pretty sure the iPhone is listening though, because I saw a prank where a woman whispered to the husband’s iPhone about baby stuff (to have a baby), and he complained about receiving a ton of ads about baby stuff just after that. So yes, welcome to the apple garden ahah

Good job on that! Linux is way better for average uses like you described. 😊

NordVPN undertook three independent audits to prove their no-logs policy. You can check that with a quick search online.

I am not sure about that particular leak and the kind of data that was leaked, but I am pretty confident about their zerolog policy as today. NordVPN has undertaken not one, but three independent audits, which is more than other known VPNs.

Many websites confirm their clams, like those ones:

https://www.vpnmentor.com/blog/nordvpn-no-logs-policy/ https://www.tomsguide.com/features/nordvpn-logs-is-nordvpn-secure-does-it-keep-logs-and-can-you-trust-it https://www.tomsguide.com/news/independent-audit-confirms-nordvpns-no-log-policy-for-the-second-time

But in the end it is up to you if trust it or not. For me it is pretty good.

I have been using NprdVPN for 5 years. Speed is pretty good, and their zero-log policy have been proved by 3th party. They also use RAM only servers which is better.

It may be a bit expensive though.

Is Firefox blocking tracker by default?

At the end I switched back to DDG.

Thanks for asking.

I am a very casual gamer, and at the beginning I might have struggled a bit with all the mechanics of Proton, Lutris etc etc.

When I look for games I usually double check on ProtonDB, if there is any fix to be applied. For this reason, I can say 95% of MY games are just install and play.

The only game I had a problem with was Skyrim, which needed a FPS limiter to avoid glitching at the beginning.

I started my gaming experience (PC) with Linux. So I disagree.

I am so curious about LibreWolf. I am gonna try it soon on my daily laptop (Linux of course 😂).

Now I remember why I started using DDG, they are as transparent as they can be as a search engine. Thanks for sharing these useful links.

Yes, mate. Same for me. DDG has been around for longer.

I didn’t know that, but after reading all these comments, its CEO doesn’t look like pro privacy, am I wrong? Maybe, but for now I stick with FireFox.

That’s so bad.

I just realized it 😂

I did a quick search, but I didn’t find any comparison between the two, so I just asked about it.

A lot of information came out, and I reckon this thread can help someone else down the line.

Thanks for the comment though. 🤙
