    Similar for my Xiaomi - Avast built in. a bit annoying but it dont bothers.

    bluemail = typemail, exactly same program for the free features.

    opera is spying on you, didnt know?

    me: adguard premium (and ofc includes adguard dns) on all devices and firefox (nightly + extension collection)(beta can do now too)

    I blocked every TLD for Russia and China with Next DNS.
    I also blocked the built-in browser + Chrome.
    Not to mention that I have enabled as mentioned in my security configuration the system level tracking blocker (HUAWEI).

    If you believe that Opera + my countermeasures is always spyware please provide evidence (not dated articles) where you prove this.

    "opera mini" has "telemetry" by TOS
    https://legal.opera.com/privacy/#mini

    opera vpn is known as only a proxy.

    i cant give you evidence but you can be sure that the chinese consortium* is doing same on all its opera builds
    https://www.reddit.com/r/operabrowser/comments/ajmbox/opera_is_spyware/
    (older but sadly still true)
    *Qihoo 360 is involved

    i dont get it why users trust such browser(s)...

    built-in blockers are worth nothing. basic maybe, buts its the same crap as in vivaldi which shows issues with other blockers/extension.

    USA still the best. But barely.
    Bitdefender paid & NetGuard downloaded only from Github for adblocking which Google Play does not support.

    No, I don't. I have a dumb phone that isn't linked to anything else. Let me tell you, that comes in handy too when you're trying to save a little money at Walgreen's and give them your phone #--next thing you know you get these robo calls and funky SMS, prob. phishing attempts.

    A few blocked #s later and it's peaceful again. :D:isay:

    I miss my dumb phone. They're getting hard to find here in Oz now.
