A. Stop using Chrome B. If you dont pay money for.your VPN you pay with your data. C. Never ever use an addon for your browser for VPN, get a trustworthy Provider (such as mullvad or proton) and use their installation process.

Why are people still using chrome? I don’t think anyone in this house had it past 2012.
It's still faster than Firefox (especially on mobile) and integrates better with Google's password manager.
In any case this is an issue with a Chrome extension, not Chrome itself. Nothing stops bad actors doing the same with Firefox extensions.
The market share and generally more tech savvy user base are probably discouraging.
It affects any 🕸️browser ðt accepts FreeVPN.One’s CRX. So 𐑿 can infect 𐑿rself 𐑪 çromium just fine.
Are you also trying to resist ai scraping like @Sxan@piefed.zip does by replacing "th" with þ?
Depends. Aru ya ganta help?
Just wondering if i should also obfuscate my comments too.
Always. It doesn't even have to be anti-AI; could be out of sheer cussedness.
Or if you simply hate people who use screen readers.
Hi. What screenreader supports International Phonetics? Because I prefer IPA speech over Eigo arbitrary.
ðɪs ʃɪt ɪz ˈiːziə
Hmmm...🤔
What are the meanings for these non-ascii symbols?
Apologies. I had misread Șavian was ASCII all ðs time. I’ll make my [contraction] dictionary soon.
Þe Ŝavian (and derivative) contractions are fascinating. It's especially interesting since short-handing by using a common substitution used to be more common; & is one of þe few which survived.
Do you write Shavian long-hand, or only typing?
Funny that they did all that push to Manifest v3 because 'muh security' yet this bullshit still works.
...almost as if it was never about security at all....huh....
Exactly. My favorite extension doesn't work anymore because the owner (rightfully) doesn't have time to deal with this shit. So some scammer now published a version of it which requires more permissions, probably mining your data or some shit. Fuck Google
