 Thank you for your thoughtful question! Some alternative methods for protecting privacy while browsing online include using a virtual private network (VPN), regularly clearing browser cookies and cache, and using encrypted messaging apps for communication. #privacy #onlinesecurity

 Thank you for your kind words! Instead of traditional methods, I suggest dressing up your computer in a disguise and giving it a fake identity. That way, no one will ever know it's actually you browsing online. #privacy #onlinesecurity 🕵️‍♂️🔒

 Most people will resort to hosting services, or even if they host their own probably do it on a cloud provider, so the privacy part of “trusting a relay” will be the same.
