I'd be wary of using this site and stick w/ the onion sites linked on the Wiki page until we know this is actually "official" [1] [2].

Trying LockDown mode; looks like backups are still occurring as expected.

Yattee [1] and AdGuard [2] are two solutions I’ve found that can help.

Nice app! I created configuration profiles for convenience at https://encrypted-dns.party but an app with providers pre-configured is way more convenient. Some smaller providers that come to mind for ad-blocking: Adhole, AhaDNS, BlahDNS, LibreDNS, and Usable Privacy DNS.

Potentially, depending on your Pi-hole’s blocklists. For reference you could check against these popular spy pixel lists:

At least on Firefox AMO, their new “verified” add-on badge is worth a look.

Also worth noting is that Private.sh is run by Private Internet Access / Kape Technologies [1] in partnership with Gigablast for its search index. [2]

Also worth noting is that since the acquisition, Startpage has added these support pages:

- Startpage CEO Robert Beens discusses the investment from Privacy One / System1 [1]

- What is Startpage's relationship with Privacy One/System1 and what does this mean for my privacy protections? [2]

- What is the Startpage privacy-guarding data flow? [3]

Some further context [4].

Worth keeping an eye on Teddit development [1] [2], an alternative, open-source/self-hostable/JS-free interface similar to Invidious/YouTube, Bibliogram/Instagram, and Nitter/Twitter. Login functionality isn’t supported yet but apparently on the roadmap.

Looks like the old mobile design (https://i.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/jyg1jq/finished_the_b...) redirects to the new Reddit interface for image galleries.
