Funny thing is I started using Surfshark just before they started all the YouTube sponsorships. Them doing so many sponsorships actually made me trust them less somehow, if that makes sense.

Mullvad “appears” to be more trustworthy but maybe they are just better at marketing that image. They still cost twice as much as Surfshark.

Is it noticeably faster than Surfshark for you?

On the other hand there’s also an overrepresentation of tankies. I don’t think those are the same people.

Don’t they typically do minor anti-burn in changes during idle, basically having a built-in screensaver?

That’s what the display makers claim, in order to avoid too many customer complaints. In reality you’re still likely to get burn-in within a few years of monitor use, and when you ask for warranty support you’ll get denied claiming “you used the display wrong”.

With the increasing popularity of OLED displays, screensavers might make a comeback. Although I still think OLED displays aren’t worth it.

I just use use uBlock Origin.

Do you remember what the original was?

The world didn’t exist before 1970.
