DuckDuckGo's webbrowser is somewhat unique, in the sense that it isn't its own browser at all. It's a "WebView", using the OS built-in webbrowser with a coat of paint.

This means it's Blink/Chromium on Android and Windows, and WebKit on iOS and macOS.

Yes. There's only 3 major browsers. Chromium (Chrome), Firefox, WebKit (Safari). Nearly every other webbrowser is a fork of one of these, most are forks of Chromium, including Opera. As such, most webbrowsers will be affected by the change.

Still doesn't make a VPN the "magic all in one solution" it claims to be. And SNI is encrypted on newer servers using encrypted client hello (ECH).

In terms of privacy, you're switching around which entity gets to see a ton of details. Do you trust random public wifi enough, given modern security standards? Or do you trust a VPN company more, despite false advertising?

Use HTTPS and DoH (Becoming a default on some Android versions), and the average person will be just fine without a VPN.

The actual cheaters completely bypassed the new anti-cheat in about 6 hours. They had to update their cheats a bit, but are otherwise essentially unaffected. Linux users, Steam Deck users, and people who don't want to give a single game full hardware access, are all affected. None of those can play GTA:Online anymore, unless they mod the game to bypass the anti-cheat, which can be seen as cheating in itself, and could result in a ban.

The ddos attacks are likely being orchestrated by a small group of people or even an individual, it probably does not represent the vast majority of affected users.

I took a shortcut when typing that, quoting the OP instead of further explaining. It is definitely possible to visualize 4 datapoints, but not 4 spatial dimensions. The only way to do so is to project to lower dimensions or take a lower dimension slice and display that. That works for 2D slices/projections of 3D objects because we already have a full understanding of 3D. It does not work for 2D projections of 4D objects, similar to how "flatlanders" couldn't make sense of a 2D or 1D projection of a 3D object.

Wasted my time watching this. 23 minute video that repeats itself so often there's only ~30 seconds of information. It feels very AI-generated. And it is not possible to "visualize 4D", the video does not prove otherwise.

"clean driver install", which heavily suggests you installed nvidia drivers, probably from the website. That issue is entirely on you.

They do make other Android-based devices like the Meta Quest line of VR headsets, and Facebook was just an example, any other OEM fits in that statement as well, like Samsung, Google, OnePlus, etc.

That indicator and the permission system are provided by the OS on your phone. If you trust your OEM not to abuse it, then it works. If the company that made your device is facebook, neither of those features prevent facebook from listening in 24/7.

Louis Rossman's video describes his behavior in public spaces accurately: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4To-F6W1NT0

His activity on GrapheneOS repositories, issues, etc. indicates he's still very active in development and in the community.
