I’ve heard that the brave browser is starting to roll over little by little. Is this true? Does this go hand in hand with brave search?
I mean, I know it’s impossible to experience privacy in 100%, but it’s certainly possible to increase and take care of it to some extent. That was exactly the main idea of this post, but thanks for the reply!
Good question! So honestly? I don’t know what I meant myself. I keep rolling that word “privacy” around so much. It doesn’t search for anything bad, so I have nothing to worry about, but I guess I meant that someone shouldn’t know what exactly, it searches for, i.e., for example, what rabbits eat XD.
yeah that is the problem, google search is just bad now.
What concerns me most about the tor browser is the speed and the that it will accidentally enter, for example, the darknet (or deep web there), which I would not like too much… Is it possible to block .onion domains somehow?
And is it true that if it uses, for example, duckduckgo then .onion domains will work, but already, for example, such a brave search engine will not? So brave search engine. + tor browser = fairly privacy and security + no ability to access .onion sites (I ask because I don’t want them to work for me).
ouch! change your VPN server, maybe?
Yup, but i still like to mention it. Only because its not maintained wont make it stop working. (But yes, i could have hinted at using SearXNG would be more maintained)
Im not sure where theyve gotten their information
“DuckDuckGo never tracks you. And when you leave our search engine and use our browsers or extensions to visit other sites, we aim to protect your privacy as much as possible. No service can eliminate all hidden tracking or all profiling online because trackers are always trying to evade specific protections. To be effective, our protections continually evolve to mitigate this while avoiding website breakage. That’s also why we offer multiple types of web tracking protections.”

You would literally have to go onto bing to search for bing to pick you up.
Then this question turns into offtopic.
I don’t know what you mean by “roll over little by little”
Whether or not you use Brave Search and whether or not you use Brave Browser are two separate, independent decisions. You can use one without the other.
Whether you trust the company who makes Brave Browser and Search is another question. (Unless you personally self-host, using a search engine necessitates trusting a 3rd party)
Being tracked usually means that a) a profile of many data points is created and b) that it gets assigned to you or a real persona of yours. If you constantly switch identities you can avoid that.
There is no such thing as the dark web. Tor stands for “The Onion Router”. Basically think of it like this. You connect to the Onion Network protocol & your ip address gets encrypted then switched with someone else’s ip address, it does this 3 times then your on the network. Onion sites are just like any other site but only they’re hosted from the .oi onion network. You can still visit any .oi site at any time, the same way you can .com .net. A VPN is a Virtual Private Network. So this is a company that has thousands of thousands of ip addresses to switch out with your original & they won’t reuse it either. That’s why Tor is free & a VPN cost money. Tor is just borrowing someone else’s encrypted ip & a VPN is using a private company’s encrypted ip.
I explained this in my post a minute ago but I didn’t exactly say why.
So when I said there is no such thing as the dark web, what I really meant was a little more complex then that.
So the internet we use today isn’t the same internet we used to use. Today we use wifi & cell towers etc etc to keep everyone connected to the internet. A website or web server is just a program that’s stored on some computer somewhere. It has a static ip address meaning it never changes ip addresses. We connect to the different open ports to servers from our internet protocol address & these do different things but for the most part it’s the foundation for the internet. Now you can hide web servers & stuff from normal people that don’t know what there doing & you can even go deeper then that. But it’s all still gonna be sitting on top of this layer which is the internet protocol layer. There are about 80,000 different port numbers you can connect to but we commonly only use about 10,000 of them. Like, http is port 80, https is port 443, Call of Duty for Xbox is port 3074. So looking at the different ports, is like looking at the earth from outer space, while everyone else is looking at earth while their standing on it.
Stop being a fucking drama queen.
There are degrees of privacy.
I mean, I have nothing to hide, I’m not anyone important. But it’s worth trying new things. Time is better to do something than to do nothing
It’s assigned your ip address & usually if they can get your device then they’ll use that too. But over all they don’t care about anyone’s name, just our numbers
So that’s it: track is certainly safer and more private than such pure Firefox?
Thx! Then I’m off to download the tor browser XD
You just don’t get a very simple concept.
You don’t have the resources. You can’t begin to even fathom the resources you’d need. If you did, and you could, you’d still have a profoundly difficult, if not impossible task at hand.
Besides, even if you completely ditched all digital devices 100%, you’d still be a product. It is your lot in life.
