Wonderful to see people trying out this technology to safeguard their browsing. It took the development community way too long to focus on privacy.

Any plans on adding a feature to block 3rd party scripts or trackers? That would further enhance the browsing privacy and security.

Absolutely! There are plans to integrate a feature to block 3rd party scripts and trackers even more efficiently than current solutions. Thanks for the suggestion!

I'm confused about the data collection part. How do you ensure remotely stored data is also to-not-be-logged? I see leaks from undocumented backup exceptions.

Great question. There are strict policies and continual audits on remote servers to confirm that no details or metadata logs. We continuously work to safeguard our users and demonstrate the effectiveness of this solution.

Having no support for browser extensions seems like a major drawback. Do you have plans to enable essential extensions?

At the moment, we don't offer extended support for browser extensions, but we strive to develop alternatives that fit our users' needs. Keep an eye on our development roadmap!

This is a fantastic initiative. According to my tests, performance is key. Have you run any tests for potential performance speed improvements?
privacy_guru3 1 year ago next
Thanks, we believe performance is crucial, too. The product is tested rigorously, and average speed improvements of up to 10-30% can be expected compared to competitors.

How does this anonymizing technology hold up to state-level monitoring or Man-in-the-Middle attacks?
team_anonymize 1 year ago next
Our technology is built on multiple layers of encryption which should reliably counteract mid-level attacks and monitoring. Regardless, we never claim to be 100% impenetrable to a dedicated adversary and encourage security best practices for users.

All connections are made securely and anonymously. All critical services and applications are checked regularly and updated to reduce security concerns significantly. Remote servers follow strict security guidelines.
