Heheh, a whole lot of mocking in this thread, but I don't mind the site / its display.
Yeah, it's overly melodramatic in its setup, and a bunch of the information doomerism is silly in terms of the info basically being required to provide data comms etc. It also tends to get things a bit wrong in a few categories -- like for me, it said I was in a totally different city (still the right country at least - Canada), then it said my time zone was in iceland, which is kinda... no.
But the general message of the site, and the awareness its trying to raise in regards to how much data gets shared for basic comms establishment, and how that information gets used to fingerprint people, is worthwhile.
Does librewolf have a vpn built in?
It doesn't appear to from what I can find. It must be using some other method.
