i haven't read through all the questions asked here, but yours is perhaps the least stupid

i suspect you may already know the answer to your question; of course not everyone needs to be vaccinated - that's the job of any reasonably healthy immune system and this virus, which has not been properly isolated by the way, and that comes directly from the CDC, is not particularly dangerous, and that comes directly from the WHO

any thinking human being knows that masks are, at best, largely ineffective at preventing transmission, as is "social distancing" - the way governments are handling this "pandemic", which by definition is not a pandemic, is killing far more people and ruining far more lives that the virus ever will

the question then becomes, why? why are we being asked, and compelled in many case, to wear ineffective masks? why are being threatened and arrested in some cases for not distancing when there is no creditable scientific evidence to support that distancing works?

furthermore, the rt-PCR "test" that is used by many labs to diagnose COVID-19 is not a test - it is a procedure designed to amplify a tiny amount of RNA or DNA - it was never designed to test for this or any other virus and it does not produce a binary result, so in the end , we have NO idea how many cases there are, and it gets worse than that because apparently PCR is looking for any corona virus, alive or dead! that means that anyone that's ever had a cold can test positive (along with people that died in motorcycle accidents, fallen down stairs, or got shot in the face apparently)

the number of 'cases' is meaningless and the survival rate is exceedingly high, and if we make an adjustment for the radically inflated number of deaths, it becomes very questionable whether there even is a "novel" corona virus or whether it's the flu

lastly, even if one is not reasonably healthy, or just doesn't wish to spend a lot of time being sick, all that required is high-dose vitamin C along with D3 (and zinc wouldn't hurt) - what's a high dosage? 4 grams+ / hr. for an adult, not that it's critical because no one has ever died from vitamins (minerals is a different story)

this wouldn't surprise me, however... proof or go home

as the author of that article i obviously wouldn't disagree that there are serious problem with Moz, but my impression is that they are largely at the corporate level - the developers (at least some) seem to care far more about privacy which is why i personally recommend Firefox (along with a shit load of pref tweaks and a few add-ons) over any other mainstream browser, and especially G.Chrome

> The website's other articles are spammy conspiracy crud anyway.

provide evidence where i'm wrong and i'll be happy to correct, but rubber-stamping someones content as "spammy", whatever that means, is lazy

...or globally for those that care about privacy (then allow per-host as needed)

correct

> Disabling Javascript and cosmetic filters doesn't make any sense.

it does for those concerned with their privacy - i recommend to my readers to disable JS globally and allow it per-host where needed

as for cosmetic filters, processing them consumes more CPU

also these are suggested settings based on my experience and tailored to fit the Firefox config guides i wrote - i didn't state they were better than everyone elses

you're painting "drugs" with a broad brush

psychedelics are not like cocaine, despite what the 'gubbmunt' would like you to believe - rather they are like a window into your 'self' - if you think of psychedelics in terms of frequency, you might better understand the tremendous potential they hold with regard to a laundry list of ailments, including depression, PTSD, etc.

i meant no offense - i used the term "freaks" because a lot of people who don't give a crap about privacy may consider us 'privacy freaks' - sine the article is about privacy however, i think it's obvious that it's just a poke in the ribs, if you will

> NoScript Security Suite: since uMatrix will be used to block scripts, this functionality is not required from NoScript

> This is a mistake.

thanks for bringing this up - i couldn't quickly find info regarding how uM handles inline scripts, but i see that uBO does have that specific option - this has caused me to look deeper into uBO and i'm now considering revising the guide and dumping uM completely since i personally don't require all the granularity of uM (i always allow images/css globally for example)

so although there may be some caveats with not using NS, it seems that uBO can basically eliminate the need for NS, at least for those of us that just want stuff to work for the most part

thanks for that - i'll look into adding that information
