Brave is probably the best chrome based browser but Firefox based browsers are more private and secure when hardened through either script like arkenfox or a package like the new Mullvad browser or Librewolf. The new Mullvad browser is excellent and I would definitely recommend, created in conjunction with TOR browser devs and provides great privacy out of the box when used with decent VPN as all users appear the same so fingerprinting is difficult. I would also recommend installing ublock origin extension regardless of which browser you use.
Governments have a habbit of being more grossly offensive, illegal and unethical each day so you just get desensitized. You get to the point where you read stuff like this and think 'yeah of course that's right' with a sad acceptance and question whether its even worth sharing the article anymore because there's no right they wont abuse and will never be any or corrections with the current system. Let's build something better.
Seems like the government were doing more than partying under lockdown

Unfortunately the incentives will just push further lido centralization. Even Vitalik commented that ETH staking is too much of a technical risk for his stack and so he leaves it unstaked as he doesnt want to risk accidentily slash himself. If Vitalik can't do it right what chance does the average pleb have? None at all, everyone will choose lido, safety in numbers and if the ship goes down we all go down together.
Most do, especially with sandboxed google services. If you're with a bank with poor apps that require permissions like access to check your phone number they may not work. If that's the case though switch bank
Agreed, I don't think we've seen the impact of hitting the tail emmision yet.
