Edge is based on Chromium. I'd test any Chromium based browsers (Chrome, Brave, Vivaldi, etc) to see if performance is better.

How easy is it to detect people using Meshtastic, Meshcore, etc? And wouldn't it be easy for someone to flood the network or just jam the frequencies in a city?

While LoRa (the underlying protocol) isn't particularly EW resistant, it can theoretically handle a fair amount of jamming because of its insane processing gain. It is fairly easy to geolocate, but the equipment to do that is quite nontrivial at any scale.

Jamming against terrestrial radio is pretty meh, you need a ton of power and because of the inverse square law the bubble you can zone out is surprisingly small. There are also a lot of tricks to defeat it pretty soundly depending on the environment and type of transmission you're doing.

Have you tried old.reddit.com ? I use that exclusively and it doesn’t seem to mind vpns.

> You have one server in one datacenter.

It doesn't have to be only one server in one datacenter though.

It's more work, but you can have replicas ready to go at other Hetzner DCs (they offer bare metal at 3 locations in 2 different countries) or at other cheaper providers like OVH. Two or three $160 servers is still cheaper than what they're paying right now.

It doesn't have to be one server in a single datacenter, though. It adds some complexity, but you could have a backup server ready to go at a different cheap provider (Hetzner and OVH, for example) and still save a lot.

That uses a workaround based on WiFi debugging even though it's all local. It doesn't run if you're not connected to a trusted WiFi network, you have to set it all up when connecting to a new network, etc.

Not only users are not connected to WiFi all the time, but in many developing countries people often have no WiFi at home and rely on mobile data instead. It's a solution, but not a solution for everyone or a solution that works all the time.

Maybe the old "Hitler Has Only Got One Ball" song wasn't that wrong then:

    Hitler has only got one ball,
    Göring has two but very small,
    Himmler is rather sim'lar,
    But poor old Goebbels has no balls at all.

Probably easy to do with a Mac, but iOS is a different question. Way too restrictive if you don't use iCloud.

It's easy to use a different calendar, search engine, etc, but it's far from easy to use an Android device without Google Services. Can be done, but banking apps, contactless payments, etc, become painful or impossible.

The point is that avoiding Android is also easy. I never had an Android device and have no interest.

Once again: The only problem is avoiding both platforms.

I avoid both platforms. Librem 5 is my smartphone.

There you go! It’s possible.
