I’d ignore step 4 and stick to hashtags only… from there you’ll end up finding interesting people anyway.

following hashtags

the “Department of Government Efficiency”

…the DoGE?..

I’d rarely get scam calls or texts before I switched but since I’ve been with o2, I get 5-10 calls a week.

DNS, most web searches, trackers in apps, location data, just to name a few. Ad blockers won’t help you there.

But yeah, that target audience is a bubble, normies don’t care.

used chromium as the page rendering engine.

I believe WebKit is Chromium’s rendering engine, as is Gecko for Firefox.

Opera used to have their own but now they’re just rebranded Chromium.

There was a poll a while back on mastodon and the majority answered they’d be ok with 5$/year to support Firefox.

The fact that the founder commented in approval is gold.

Unsung heroes.
