How is Voyager for Lemmy funded? Or is it just community maintained? (lemmy.world)

I'm curious how Voyager for Lemmy is funded. Or is it just community driven so the workload and potential costs are spread out far enough that nobody is footing the bill all by themselves?

Adguard Pro vs NextDNS? What is best for blocking ads, trackers, and encrypting DNS? Are one of these alone good enough? by squire3 in c/privacy@lemmy.world

Gotcha, Adguard Pro on iOS doesn't have a DNS limit but I suspect you are right and going over the free limit on NextDNS would be pretty hard to do one one device, especially a mobile device

You can point Adguard Pro and maybe even NextDNS to Mullvad's DNS Server. So I wonder if doing that is better than using Mullvad's DNS profile alone on an iOS device? Not sure, but Adguard Pro has a safari extension and more settings. So I wonder if doing that covers more?

Adguards privacy policy seems very good for Adguard Pro on iOS: https://adguard.com/en/privacy/ios.html

But I know that they originated in Russia and that gives some cause for concern. Their current HQ is in Cyprus

I'm trying to keep my iPhone as privacy focused as possible. Yes... I know that android devices can be locked down more than iOS devices but I don't need it to be the most private device ever. I just want to do what I can and block trackers, ads and encrypt my DNS traffic.

I have Adguard Pro, I have not tried NextDNS. But I don't want to have a subscription fee if possible.

Are either of these apps good enough to keep my device as private as it can be or is there more I need to do? Which app would you use or recommend for this?

Firefox deletes promise to never sell personal data, asks users not to panic | Mozilla says it deleted promise because "sale of data" is defined broadly by squire3 in c/technology@lemmy.world

If Firefox is losing its footing as a privacy focused browser then where do we go? If your on Mac maybe Safari?

What to use instead of gmail? by squire3 in c/opensource@lemmy.ml
[-] squire3@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Are there any good free alternatives to Gmail or do all the good ones cost money?

I assume so since Gmail makes all its money selling YOU…

How to effectively search within Lemmy Communities? (lemmy.world)

I'm new to Lemmy, coming from Reddit of course. How can I search within a Community (subreddit) within Lemmy to see if there are posts similar to what I am looking for or questions I have?

How does this work?
