       @autumn Same. Bit of a odd reasoning for the departure, to be honest. I read the blog post, but feel like @better not existing is just making things… worse? Apple are implementing bad unrelated tech, so we’re going to pull your fave tracking blocker app to reduce your privacy even more. Just feels like Better didn’t fit within the realms of what @aral and @laura want to do with Small Technology Foundation right now.

       @ilyess You have to bounce around a bit for their reasoning, but a linked blog post claims; “If Apple goes ahead with its plans to have your devices violate your trust and work against your interests, I will not write another line of code for their platforms ever again.”From here: https://ar.al/2021/08/08/apple-is-trying-to-redefine-what-it-means-to-violate-your-privacy-we-must-not-let-it/Reference of Apple’s plans here: https://www.apple.com/child-safety/

       @matt Can recommend Wipr if you're looking for an alternative. Updated twice a week https://giorgiocalderolla.com/wipr.html

       @mike Thanks for the recommendation! The #VPN provider I used recently enabled ad, tracking and malware protection via #DNS, so I switched that on and will see how it holds up, because that will work across all apps, not just #Safari. I have to turn it off to use #Twitch though, because it seems to block messages in chat. 😂

       @matt Oh it was about CSAM. Yeah, I remember Aral sharing his thoughts about this. Thanks for the refresher.
