Real debrid is currently complying with a legal crackdown and is applying a filter that prevents access to their cached torrents if the title includes a bunch of different common piracy phrases, such as Web, WebDL, the names of common trackers, etc.

Might eventually ease up, might not. Worth it to ride it out for a bit and see what happens if you’re already subbed as some results still play, but for anyone new looking into stremio/kodi/jellyfin you should probably consider something like an easynews + torbox combo

I’m not saying I’m a sec expert and impervious to tracking. I don’t need to try multiple sites until one gives me more correct hits, I understand the basics of fingerprinting and how it can be used maliciously. I do more than the average user to safeguard my information.

My point is, real sec professionals attempting to educate and make the general public more knowledgeable about privacy don’t have to rely on scare tactics and vague implications that they live in the matrix and are coming for you to accomplish that. It makes them look like ding-dongs who need to take the trenchcoats and sunglasses off and open the blinds. This thankfully seems to be a common sentiment in this thread.

Using a slightly less popular browser with a single privacy addon almost completely circumvented their fingerprinting. Changing the user agent to mask the few pieces of almost useless info it did get, would have totally circumvented their fingerprinting.

I understand the average user would have more correct indicators. The point is, if they’re going to run a service like this, pretending to be hackers and making entirely toothless threats to scare people with info they likely don’t even know how to interpret themselves, shows how incompetent they are and that they don’t actually want to educate. Hence why most legit groups that do education like this choose to present themselves as professionals and adults instead.

Laughing my ass off reading through this. The sanctimonious and passive aggressive threatening tone is perfect for how much info it got wrong just because I use Firefox and an adblock. YOUR BROWSER DIDN’T TELL US ANYTHING ABOUT THIS, LIKELY BECAUSE ITS FIREFOX. BUT THAT MEANS WE KNOW YOU USE FIREFOX AND WE ARE CHOOSING TO BE SAFE WITH THAT INFO, YOURE WELCOME, PWNED!!!11!1111!1

Teaching people about fingerprinting and how important understanding it is for personal privacy is good, but acting like a 4chan script kiddy group and making bizarre empty threats like you’re mr robot ain’t it, dawg.

From other comments this is likely some AI slop to sell a product, but if they’re serious they come off like they just slept through sec+ and think they’re shadow brokers now lmao
