    no, it's not. rehips is much more than just a hips sw. the name is misleading.

    Moved to full Chromium Edge and I see Keyscrambler doesn't work on it, so removed Keyscrambler completely for now.

    So now on my Linux MX-18.3 USB live media, with persistence:
    • UFW, with Default deny incoming and outgoing, restricted to a few selected remote ports and DNS IP's
    • Firejail v0.9.60, for sandboxing the browser, email client and some other programs
    • Firefox browser with uBlockO extension set to Medium mode and NoScript with restrictions disabled, only blocking XSS, clickjacking and HTTPS enforcement
    That is all. I'm considering migrating away from Windows, but I'll probably keep it and use it occasionally, as it's kind of like a stupid addiction I can't let go of :(

    Out of curiousity, why does everyone use Chromium Edge when it is most likely calling home?
