My name is Dunja, this is my main blog. I tend to post Doctor Who, Harry Potter, Shadowhuntres, and stuff from Marvel and DC universes. It all mixes in with posts that express my opinion. I would love to get to know people on here so I'm always happy if I get any asks! Also! I recently made an aestethic side blog @the-three-broomsicks
Cross your fingers for Disney losing full Avengers rights
Just to be clear this would not make them unable to make the movies they’d just have to properly pay the creators and their families for the use of the characters.

Even better is that his sister is famous here in the UK as well. Victoria Coren-Mitchell could be asked about her brother’s absolute fucking insanity. And she could absolutely say something truly hilarious about what a git he clearly is.
Wait he’s Victoria Coren-Mitchell’s brother?!?? But- but- but she’s so *competent*???
Firefox remains best in show in the category of “browsers that won’t do this bullshit.” It’s got a long, long history of trust, a sizable userbase, and a decent amount of privacy built in, with more extensions and customization options than you’ll ever need. However, note that it can sometimes perform slowly, especially with a lot of tabs open.
Opera is a slightly lesser-known browser, and my personal main browser for day-to-day use. It has a built-in VPN (though this can be slow at times), adblocker, and anti-tracking tools, with more available via extensions. Opera’s userbase is slightly smaller, so overall less extensions are available than Firefox, and (in my experience) it generally needs a few settings to be tweaked on first startup to make it comfortable to use (notably, the keyboard shortcuts are different from chrome/firefox).
DuckDuckGo is a privacy-focused search engine that also has (at least) a mobile browser (for Android devices). I’m not honestly sure if they have a desktop or Apple version, but the mobile browser provides many similar safety features to Opera. I find Opera more convenient for casual browsing, but if you’re very conscious of online security, DuckDuckGo might be the way to go.
Microsoft Edge exists. Don’t use it.
Please do yourself a favor and stop using Chrome!
Ecosia isn’t Chrome based, right? that’s what ive been using, for the trees, and it says it doesn’t save your history but i wanted to check
I’m afraid so. And based on many other Chrome based browser scandals, I don’t trust it.
dammit. ill download firefox then :/ thanks for letting me know
edit: how do you actually download it
edit edit: wHY does it send me to GOOGLE, IMMEDIATELY upon downloading it????? like i have the app and it says “firefox browser” and it’s talking all about how secure it is etc but the little rainbow G icon is right next to the actual browser and theres a link right to Google on the firefox homepage how do i stop that
So from my understanding Firefox uses Google but it blocks all the trackers
that makes sense! ty!! i ended up changing the default browser to duckduckgo anyway (and deleted google and amazon off of the browser options anyway) but i appreciate it!!! (im afraid this all becomes null and void with me using only gmail as all of my email accs but there’s not much i can really do anything about that. hopefully firefox will block gmail from seeing my searches through the gmail account i used to sign in :///)
I’d recommend Protonmail,
as a substitute for gmail. It’s a Swiss based end-to-end encrypted
email service that is expanding to Proton-calander and Proton-drive with
their paid version. Their ProtonVPN also has a free version with limited locations. They also have apps for both android and apple.
Facebook Container-
isolates your Facebook
activity from the rest of your web activity in order to prevent Facebook
from tracking you outside of the Facebook website via third party
cookies.
HTTPS Everywhere- Many sites on the web
offer some limited support for encryption over HTTPS, but make it
difficult to use. For instance, they may default to unencrypted HTTP, or
fill encrypted pages with links that go back to the unencrypted site.
Privacy Badger automatically learns to block invisible trackers. Instead
of keeping lists of what to block, Privacy Badger automatically
discovers trackers based on their behavior.
Privacy Possum monkey wrenches common commercial tracking methods by
reducing and falsifying the data gathered by tracking companies.
uBlock Origin is not an “ad blocker”, it’s a wide-spectrum content blocker with CPU and memory efficiency as a primary feature.
Firefox Multi-Account Containers lets you carve out a
separate box for each of your online lives – no more opening a different
browser just to check your work email! Here is a quick video showing
you how it works. Under the hood, it separates website storage
into tab-specific Containers. Cookies downloaded by one Container are
not available to other Containers. With the Firefox Multi-Account
Containers extension, you can…
Sign in to two different
accounts on the same site. For example, you could sign in to work email
and home email in two different Container tabs.
Keep different
kinds of browsing far away from each other (for example, you might use
one Container tab for managing your Checking Account and a different
Container tab for searching for new songs by your favorite band)
Avoid leaving social-network footprints all over the web (for example,
you could use a Container tab for signing in to a social network, and
use a different tab for visiting online news sites, keeping your social
identity separate from tracking scripts on news sites)
Enhancer for YouTube™- Built to get the most
out of YouTube, this extension comes packed with all sorts of features
that allow you, among other things, to manage ads as you wish, control
the playback speed and the volume level with the mouse wheel, automate
repetitive tasks such as selecting the appropriate playback quality,
configure dozens of keyboard shortcuts to control YouTube like a pro,
and much more.
Decentraleyes- Protects you against tracking through “free”, centralized, content delivery.
Protects privacy by evading large delivery networks that claim to offer free services.
Complements regular blockers such as uBlock Origin (recommended), Adblock Plus, et al.
Works directly out of the box; absolutely no prior configuration required.
Bitwarden- A secure and free password manager for all of your devices. Bitwarden is the easiest
and safest way to store all of your logins and passwords while
conveniently keeping them synced between all of your devices.
Several of these also have companion versions in Firefox mobile.
If you are interested in other trustworthy add-ons, this icon shows that the add-on is an editorially curated extension that meet the highest standards of
security, functionality, and user experience. Firefox staff, along with
community participation, selects each extension and manually reviews
them for security and policy compliance before they receive Recommended
status.
Good luck! @ or message me if you need anything else.
Edit: I’d make a firefox account so you can log in and sync tabs/bookmarks across devices.
Watch how prince philip’s death completely takes over the news cycle and sidelines the actual carnage happening in northern ireland
Last night saw rioting on both sides of the peace wall in belfast
19 police officers were injured
The PSNI then turned water canons on the rioters (despite the fact loyalists have been rioting for a week, only the nationalist rioters were subjected to this)
The people have no faith in the police or the politicians and there is no end in sight
