It’s a pop out windshield shade, yes. Put it in your windshield when you get out and it’ll block the sun and keep your car cooler. They’re incredibly common, can find a dozen options at any Target, Walmart, etc.

I currently use Firefox simply because it’s the one privacy focused browser not built on chromium. I don’t want to contribute to Google’s monopoly over browser traffic.

“Arguably worse for privacy than Reddit”

This poster clearly has some sort of vendetta against Lemmy and/or its creators with the comments on politics, etc.

Reddit takes your activity and packages/sells your data to advertisers. Lemmy does not. To say Lemmy is worse than Reddit for privacy is just not true.

I’d take that post with a hefty grain of salt.

Unfortunately most of the “privacy phones” really aren’t that great of a smartphone experience due to them running Linux which isn’t nearly as developed for smartphone use as Android or iOS.

I personally use a Samsung Fold 4, and run Firefox w/ add ons, DDG for search and app tracking protection.

Apple likes to boast about how iOS is more privacy focused than Android, though. Grain of salt.
