Plausible deniability. People will use any excuse to free themselves from accountability.
Privacy, adverts, morality, monopoly and all the hand waving is just for show. They are valid concerns but you'll hear a lot of it as a veil for "me want free stuff".

Browser developers can choose to fake user-agents. Brave uses a generic chrome user agent so it cannot be differentiated from regular Chrome.

Are they hinting at a pihole with their "It’s a bit more robust and lower latency than that Pi of yours dangling off the shelf by your cable modem."
How could it possibly have lower latency than something that's literally on your local network? Once it caches a request it's nearly instantaneous.

For Hindus, claiming everything in the subcontinent as their own seems like a favorite passtime. Jainism, Buddhism are not part of Hinduism and never were.
Re:Don't use text pixelation to redact sensitive information

Wouldn't radomized pixelation without using the actual textual data in the background be enough?

Are you really going with "I've never really heard of it, so it isn't real."?
It's not how it works.
Re:Netflix’s Prices Are Rising Faster Than Cable

Eh, our family freaking loves Netflix originals. And there are many from different countries. But I guess it's probably because we generally like to explore more than just look for something artificially hyped up through marketing.
