You and I share a lot of web sites. For a browser, I use Slimjet which is based on Chrome but without all the Chrome tracking BS.
I also use a Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection to the Internet. Mine is supplied by Private Internet Access and costs $40/year. Money well spent. PIA has many IP addresses to choose from. I’m in South Carolina but my current IP address is Houston, TX. PIA also has plenty of overseas IP addresses to choose from as well.
do you use PIA here on FR?
I can never get to individual posts. I get a 503 error.
PIA is very good. They actually have been dragged into court where they testified that they keep no records except your email address and when your last payment was.
