Oh no, I just moved on there.

Is something happening?

PrivacyTools should be taken with a grain of salt these days. There was apparently a massive falling out.

Long story short the main guy went MIA and the rest of the crew and community decided over many months to create a new site since the main guy had the keys to the kingdom. Shortly after the move the guy came back and accused everyone of being against him. It's a whole drama thing. But the fact that PrivacyTools now highly recommends NordVPN and ExpressVPN tells me all I need to know and I'm sticking with the new PrivacyGuides

They were acquired by some VPN megacorp and AFAIK, all their credible postings and court stuff happened prior to that, so their credibility is unknown today

I actually switched away from Firefox to Vivaldi a few months ago mainly for 2 reasons.

1. Firefox's profiles are dogshit. They are almost a hidden feature and are very cumbersome to use.

2. The Android browser support for certain types of extensions is dodgy. Using uBlock Origin delays the loading of all webpages by a few seconds for some reason. There is a Github issue about this that has been open for a few years now.

I want the browser I use to be on both Android and desktop. Vivaldi has been OK so far.

I do miss a lot of the good stuff from Firefox, especially their address bar. For some reason I find it much better than anything on Chromium based browsers. Firefox's is much snappier and is correct with it's suggestions the majority of the time.

I also like Firefox's sync between devices to be much better.

When those 2 issues are resolved I will come back, but as it stands now it's a hassle for my needs.
