I had a crash that took down Firefox, so when I restarted it it was the newest version (an update I'd installed, but hadn't restarted after).I just went looking through the settings pages, which is a habit I've unfortunately had to get into because <a href="/tags/firefox/" rel="tag">#Firefox</a> and <a href="/tags/mozilla/" rel="tag">#Mozilla</a> keep adding new anti-user fuckery in their continuing quest to drive users away from the only product they make that anyone gives two shits about.And lo and behold, *this* is the new fuckery I found. Enabled by default. And it reinforces the need to go *check* for this bullshit every version update.Firefox, if you had asked me how to cut my already diminishing trust in you to do the right thing by your users to near zero, I wouldn't have even dreamed this batshittery up. It's so much worse than I would have suggested. I have *all* the crap turned off - silently adding new crap and silently defaulting it to on is 1995-era Microsoft-screwing-the-users.You feel you need to add this shit? Fine. But show me a dialog asking me whether I want it on or not when that version first starts. Don't turn it on behind my back and HOPE I DON'T NOTICE.<a href="/tags/fuckery/" rel="tag">#fuckery</a> <a href="/tags/twoshits/" rel="tag">#TwoShits</a> <a href="/tags/batshittery/" rel="tag">#batshittery</a> <a href="/tags/abuse/" rel="tag">#abuse</a> <a href="/tags/darkpattern/" rel="tag">#DarkPattern</a> <a href="/tags/user/" rel="tag">#user</a> <a href="/tags/behindyourback/" rel="tag">#BehindYourBack</a> <a href="/tags/enabled/" rel="tag">#Enabled</a> <a href="/tags/enabledbydefault/" rel="tag">#EnabledByDefault</a> <a href="/tags/permission/" rel="tag">#permission</a> <a href="/tags/askpermission/" rel="tag">#AskPermission</a> <a href="/tags/sponsored/" rel="tag">#sponsored</a> <a href="/tags/ads/" rel="tag">#ads</a> <a href="/tags/privacy/" rel="tag">#privacy</a> <a href="/tags/version/" rel="tag">#version</a> <a href="/tags/update/" rel="tag">#update</a> <a href="/tags/bullshit/" rel="tag">#bullshit</a>

A small piece of a screenshot of the Firefox browser's "Settings" controls. Newly added are an item "Support Firefox", with two sub-items: "Sponsored shortcuts" and "Sponsored stories".

Both are checked by default.

🤣 Google 剛通知我要把帳戶從巴拿馬「遷移」到德國，因為這破公司判定我「常年居住德國」 現實：我只是一直開著 Proton VPN 連德國節點保護隱私而已，根本沒去過德國 😅 更搞笑的是我基本上不怎麼用 Google 服務，我用 Startpage、Disroot、Proton Drive、CoMaps 等替代品，Google 花大力氣分析一個幾乎不存在的使用者，然後得出完全錯誤的結論，還要正式發郵件通知我這個「重大發現」😂 最離譜的是這次「遷移」還會把我的賬號換成愛爾蘭的公司，讓我享受到 GDPR 和 BDSG？所以 Google 的錯誤判斷實際上給了我更強的隱私權利，這就像小偷闖你家結果幫你修門鎖一樣逆天 🤡 世界上最先進的數據分析公司被一個簡單的 VPN 完全耍了，還以為自己很牛逼然後幫我提升了隱私保護等級，媽的笑死我了哈哈哈哈，感謝 Google 證明我的隱私策略有多成功，這大概就是傳說中的「人工智障」吧 🙃 <a href="https://ovo.st/club/board" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@board</a> <a href="/tags/google/" rel="tag">#Google</a> <a href="/tags/privacy/" rel="tag">#Privacy</a> <a href="/tags/gdpr/" rel="tag">#GDPR</a> <a href="/tags/bigtech/" rel="tag">#BigTech</a> <a href="/tags/datacollection/" rel="tag">#DataCollection</a> <a href="/tags/techfail/" rel="tag">#TechFail</a> <a href="/tags/irony/" rel="tag">#Irony</a>

2025 has been a crazy year for Privacy Guides.

In just 9 months we’ve published 15 videos, 21 articles, and we’ve pushed releases to the privacyguides.org website 13 times, with each release typically containing 10–25+ PR submissions from our team and volunteers. Since only July we’ve hosted 10 livestreams of our revived podcast, and there are plenty more on the way.

Since December, 3700+ more people have followed us on Mastodon, and about the same number have subscribed to our new YouTube channel. There are 200 per week more active users on our forum, and pageviews across all our sites have well more than doubled.

All of this is to say that people care about privacy a lot, and I believe we set the example in this space. While other “cybersecurity influencers” promote one-size-fits-all advice, we focus on practical and nuanced recommendations that account for the complexity of your personal situation.

To be real with all of you, the reason all of this is possible is because we hired 3 people to work on a regular basis at the beginning of this year.

Our volunteer team, moderators, and this community have all been doing exceptional work since 2021 which has established the foundation for all of this.

However, the reality is that to get this fantastic content out there and in front of people, there has to be a team doing work day in and day out to stay on top of the news feeds and create content that sticks with people and informs newcomers about why this all matters.

ALT

Our greatest strength is that we have no sponsors or affiliates. We have sent thousands of new subscribers to subscriptions for tools like Proton Mail/VPN, MySudo, Ente, and so many other privacy tools, and we do it purely because we believe in these tools and want them to succeed.

Frankly, many of the companies we recommend regularly send hundreds or thousands in affiliate dollars to other channels that give them far less traffic, while rarely if ever voluntarily making a donation to support our work.

Our choice to only receive income from the people who directly support our work makes us virtually the only review team in this space which has no reliance on the companies we recommend.

We have a handful of regular supporters who we are very grateful for, and we have received a very small number of very generous one-time donations which have made all of our work over the past year possible.

However, one-time donations dry up, and if we want to maintain our great momentum in 2026 and onward, we simply need people to make this work sustainable and give our team the safety of monthly recurring revenue.

ALT

My personal goal is for our membership program to give our members far more value than you will get from any other ~$10/month Patreon or subscription service from other YouTubers, podcasters, and writers in the personal privacy space.

I want anyone pushing privacy forward to be hugely successful, but to tell you the truth, I personally believe we are creating the best content in this space right now, and I hope that you trust Privacy Guides to publish the best version of this information as well.

Going forward, some of the content that we pay to produce will probably have to be restricted to people who are willing to pay for that content in return. Our members will also receive:

Early access to new videos on our channel
Priority Q&A responses on This Week in Privacy
Recognition on our forum and website
Priority response to comments on our articles/videos

We are also constantly considering new ideas in the team and from our members. Part of my commitment to make sure you can get the highest quality version from the Privacy Guides team of anything you can find from anyone else is to work with you all to decide what direction we should go in here.

Some other things we are considering include members-only forums and group chats, more detailed news reports about privacy tools and companies, private chats with team members, or free merch for our supporters. If any of this interests you, or if there’s something else you might want, please let us know.

I can't stop grinning today. Thank you for showing up!I keep picturing MEPs' inboxes and timelines flooding with messages from people who decided to act instead of just scrolling, and they couldn't ignore it. I'd like to think that pressure changed votes this week, and if it did, you did this.This is a hard-won pause, not a full stop. Chat Control is blocked for now, so celebrate tonight and rest a little, but don't mistake relief for the end of the fight. My guess is they'll come back (they always do), though for now we won.I'm proud and exhausted and oddly hopeful. Sleep a little better tonight, then we get back to work. ✊<a href="https://www.patrick-breyer.de/en/citizen-protest-halts-chat-control-breyer-celebrates-major-victory-for-digital-privacy/" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="www.patrick-breyer.de/en/citizen-protest-halts-chat-control-breyer-celebrates-major-victory-for-digital-privacy/">https://www.patrick-breyer.de/en/citizen-protest-halts-chat-control-breyer-celebrates-major-victory-for-digital-privacy/</a><a href="/tags/chatcontrol/" rel="tag">#ChatControl</a> <a href="/tags/digitalprivacy/" rel="tag">#DigitalPrivacy</a> <a href="/tags/privacy/" rel="tag">#privacy</a> <a href="/tags/encryption/" rel="tag">#encryption</a> <a href="/tags/stopscanningme/" rel="tag">#StopScanningMe</a>
