Surveillance: Proton relocates parts of its infrastructure from Switzerland

Proton, the Swiss-based encrypted services provider behind email, VPN and a new AI assistant called Lumo, is moving much of its physical infrastructure out of Switzerland. The move comes amid proposed changes to the Swiss surveillance law Ordinance on the Surveillance of Postal and Telecommunications Traffic that would require services with 5,000+ users to identify customers, retain metadata and assist with decryption. Proton says Lumo’s servers will head to Germany and Norway first. The company insists it’s not fully abandoning Switzerland, but the relocation underscores unease over legal uncertainty and its impact on user privacy.

Firefox's new anti-fingerprinting protections cut user tracking by 70%

Firefox 145 introduces major upgrades to stop fingerprinting, a tracking method that identifies users through device details like fonts, hardware specs and GPU behavior. These new protections dramatically shrink how many people can be uniquely identified. Previously, more than 60 percent of Firefox users could be fingerprinted. With the update, that number drops to about 20 percent, which represents roughly a 70 percent reduction in trackable users. The protections are available in Private Browsing and Enhanced Tracking Protection Strict mode, with plans to roll them out to regular browsing soon.

Ghostery has given me so much peace of mind and actual stats to go with it. The emails I received about people in the privacy minded community are unmatched in my opinion. I can't believe I've gone this long without knowing the "behind the curtain" issues at hand. I credit this company with educating me and informing me on current privacy issues.
