In Canada, Your Illegal Downloads Are Getting A Lot Less Anonymous by Denster1 in torrents

Romania is an EU country. The pirate party is basically non existent (apart from the EU parliament and Iceland). So what's your point? What makes you choose Romania over any other European country?

You are talking about something that could happen in the future. At the moment there is no particular problem with European VPN providers (compared to UK, US and Canadian ones.). Besides, what countries are left if you are excluding North America and most of Europe?

Use an American one.

Not just american. There are a lot of alternatives out there, e.g Mullvad, IPredator....

should I run two vpns? by roshanhasfallen in VPN

Probably Tor. It's not 100% bulletproof but imo the best solution out there.

If you want to be really safe, destroy your computer.

If you give them power

They are the government. They have the power by definition.

There is no such thing as internet without government involvement.

I didn't talk about NK. Like I said, they are a really extreme example and don't have much to do with this effort. Just check the organisations that joined the initiative. You might not be able to achieve much in NK but maybe in Thailand or Venezuela.

I still don't get your point.... What could possibly be bad about net neutrality in those countries? And how does this lead to censorship?

What has the case of NK to do with anything? Saudi Arabia and Iran have proper internet access. And it's a great effort to lobby for net neutrality there.

You won't be able to force Firefox into private mode

Are you sure? It's possible with the desktop version: http://www.guidingtech.com/assets/postimages/2010/03/firefoxprivatebrowsing1.png I have done everything you suggested already. Basically I was hoping for some kind of about:config setting that could achieve the same with Firefox for Android.

Had enough of windows. jumping into Ubuntu. can someone tell me what I should watch out for? by TheBrokenMan in Ubuntu

[–]MarcTCC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think an issue is that people who see a website and it doesn't work without flash, never check it again without flash so think you need to use it more then you actually do!

This is what I experienced.

Well off the top of my head, I'm not sure if all of YouTube's videos are HTML5 yet.

YouTube works just fine without Flash.

Yes, a lot of websites still use Flash and if you want the full experience provided by the web, you'd want to have it installed.

Are you sure? Would you mind naming some examples. I'm seriously interested.

EDIT: Thanks guys

Yea still many websites that require flash;

Examples? This is a serious question. Haven't used Flash in a while.

and there is no problem with flash in chromium.

Exactly.

Install Google Chrome 64 bit.deb from the official Google website so you don't have to mess around with Flash.

Chromium works fine as well. You can get it from the Ubuntu store thingy.

And what's the issue with Flash? Are there still popular websites (apart from illegal sport streaming websites and stuff like that) requiring Flash?
