A place to discuss privacy and freedom in the digital world.
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.

- Try to keep things on topic
- If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
- Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience

This used to be a great feature for vintage computers. If the machine had internet, you could search with HTTP site instead of HTTPS.
The alternatives listed here might not require JS, but most if not all of them require SSL. Vintage computers struggle to support that. Anyway, Google is best avoided when possible so hopefully an alternative surfaces .
