The French government is considering a law that would require web browsers – like Mozilla's Firefox – to block websites chosen by the government.

    I wouldn’t recommend using Yandex, due to it’s connections with the Russian government. You should check out privacyguides.org they have a lot of cool info about privacy respecting tools. However I also don’t recommend anything Brave. The company was founded by a homophobe who was previously in charge of Mozilla, but left, because of community pressure.

      What can the Russian government realistically do to me?

      My government is the one that can ruin my life.

          Yea I just realized what sub this is, I wasn’t aware before. I definitely didn’t mean that it is a private browser. But still, realistically, what can the Russians or Chinese do to me or my data? The danger comes from my government/EU.

            No worries. Not the target audience.

            If you have Netflix you can check out “The Great Hack”. It’s about Cambridge Analytica and their role in elections. Companies can use your data to change you. Your opinions, who you vote for, what you buy. A lot of stuff.
