Don't leak. Spread seldom rumours online about the company with plausible deniability. Find a crazy-er person and/or group. Continue spreading dots. Spread info to Youtubers. Others with a platform. Use a VM, a password manager inside the VM. After 12 months, delete all your credentials and the VM. The system can not protect you. Corps rule democracy. Don't trust the system. Spread the info until it reaches critical mass or the faith in the system collapses. Your life is worth more than some righteous leak. See the Pentagon Papers life. He lived a very humble life afterwards.

NOTE: method untested and invented just now.

Pixel. GrapheneOS. No root. LOS and others with GApps have GApps with special privs.

Guest add-ons are free AFAIK. VirtualBox Extension Pack is not.

Defaults. Install Brave and you're done. Site doesn't work? Report non-working site. Wanna support creators? Top up your Brave Wallet or turn on Brave ads.

I've a limited budget and limited time to tip websites. I ain't gonna tip manually every other rando on the internet. Brave takes care of that. Small amounts, yes, but better than just ad-blocking [yes, website owners have to opt-in to it].

Completely uninformed take follows: Also, Mozilla seems to be trying to ramp up their ads department -- search for Mozilla Ads. And no-one gonna convert because they already have Google Adsense.

TL;DR: Firefox is faster but using recommended tools like uBlock Origin leaves websites without income.

Yah but that's not new, AV never liked the packers. The difference here is the silent deletion :(

Has any of you considered pirated files might be marked someday for automatic deletion? Until that happens, Windows Defender tries scaring you into not using them.
