Mullvad has money for times square billboards,
But copy-pasted Tor Browser.
They say "privacy is a right",
But "Mullvad Browser" requires permission to block Javascript.
Simplified Privacy literally has no bank accounts or VCs. Yet we created a unique isolated networking stack, filesystem, and graphical display cage, with 4 browsers, each with a new canvas approach, and 6 VPN locations.
Dude, the fact our thing even exists with such a pure cypherpunk model, should make even the Virgin Mary say "How'd you give birth without a sugar daddy?!"
I'll tell you how I did it. The secret is I convinced people to work for beyond money. To be apart of a philosophical movement. To bring something great into this cold world.
But our dev work can only go so far. And unfortunately many of the influencers are outright censoring us. I was expecting Google SEO to censor me, but not MoneroTalk.
So we can keep pumping out features, updates, articles, podcasts, videos, locations, & browsers. But no amount of solutions will work, if you're ignoring the fundamentally flawed nature of browsers and speed fingerprinting. While Mullvad's billboards sell lies, ultimately the real dream of permissionless privacy will live or die with you.

How did monerotalk censor you?
What does it mean that it requires permission to block JS?
Mullvad knows who their target group is and they implement marketing mix accordingly.
Wanted to ask the same
Hope you succeed, but then you also need to take into account that any growth that is not based on a decentralised model will result in in absolute capture. So take care. Keep your mission while keeping in check your egos.
Bitcoin maxis failed at that, corrupted by fiat NGU.

They not only have on Monero related businesses and guests, but they even have other privacy coins. And cover generic cryptocurrency news, such as Odysee even having tipping in OTHER coins. Yet we have IN-APP Monero, and they refuse to cover us. How can any XMR entrepreneur succeed under such harsh censorship? They make it impossible to launch without VCs
So Tor Browser and Mullvad are the same thing, it's privacy works by blocking and restricting JavaScript from fingerprinting the user, which causes websites to break. The website has to allow the user to do this, and many sites will purposefully restrict fingerprinting, such as Coinbase, which then collects user data for sale.
While as HydraVeil does not require any kind of restrictions, and therefore works even if the website (purposefully or not) wants to prevent you from being private.
fair enough. thanks for the kind words
thanks bro appreciated
appreciate the kind words
Love the project and what you guys do. Let me know if I can help in any other way than buying what you offer.
Thank you, much appreciated. In about 2 months, we will be rolling out the decentralization, which means having the nostr community help us persuade "influencers" in tech, privacy, crypto, politics to run nodes. So this will be a group effort to get good people with honest interest.
Don't assume malice. Maintain a positive inviting attitude. You'll catch more flies with honey then vinegar
Cosign that 👆
fair enough, thanks
