@sammacbeth @chartgerink @libscie That's true

A retrospective on some of the things we've built at Cliqz: https://t.co/WiBkSfvh4Y

[Andrey Meshkov @ay_meshkov]

This is extremely sad news. @cliqz were making some really great products besides the browser and the search, and I hope there is still a chance for @WhoTracks_me and @Ghostery

[Cliqz @cliqz]

Yesterday we've announced the end of Cliqz and our hearts are still heavy. We hope someone continues this important fight for digital independence. But for now: Thanks for believing in something that was unlikely from the beginning, but worth believing in. https://t.co/Io6eF6IhmW

For those interested on the interplay between privacy and data on the context of #covid19, here's something for your consideration https://t.co/YqJ3MUz6Hw

[Sam Macbeth @sammacbeth]

Update on #dat in @cliqz browser: We're now shipping dat:// protocol support as an opt-in feature!

More info on how it works and why you should try it out on our tech blog: https://t.co/BYBPN6vVY8

Nowadays Web is more polluted than it ever was. And I’m not talking about Ads this time, but about common misinterpretations of GPDR and UX dark patterns around cookie consents.

In Todays release, Cliqz Browser for iOS blocks even more “popups” so we can enjoy clean web again.

[Krzysztof Modras @chrmod]

We are developers focused on protecting users' privacy, particularly on iOS devices. We believe WebKit developers care deeply about privacy, as do we. However, some issues that have been identified a long time ago, are still neglected by Apple https://t.co/tm1f9zHqPz 1/7

A short(ish) summary of my work over the last 4.5 years: @cliqz anti-tracking, @WhoTracks_me and how we're pushing to make the web a more private place: https://t.co/uCgOZh2UhQ

For #dweb fans: You can also read new Cliqz Tech blog posts on dat: dat://0x65.dev/

[Josep M. Pujol @solso]

Next chapter is out. The "HumanWeb" or how Cliqz collects data in a responsible manner. It is longer and more technical than previous posts. But if you want to see what data we collect to build our search engine (https://t.co/lrl9EDV5PX), look no further, https://t.co/b37mIZBaWo

[Josep M. Pujol @solso]

If you do not see why someone with a 93% information monopoly constitutes a risk to democracy, then you should not be reading blog posts on the Web but maybe some history books instead. Check out - ours - @cliqz take on Google’s information monopoly: https://t.co/PhTw5ejqEC

@mountaingrrrl This stat is weighted by traffic, so more popular sites will contribute more to the percentage.

We have another stat which shows the number of sites in the top 10k with a specific tracker, which is an indication of the number of different sites using it.

[Sam Macbeth @sammacbeth]

For our anti-tracking and adblocking tech at @cliqz we need to parse lots of URLs quickly. We developed a #TypeScript impl. that's up to 10x faster than existing implementations in browsers and node while being spec compliant.

It's also open source! https://t.co/itYaxG5fim

Can you guess the website? #privacy #GDPR

[WhoTracks.me @WhoTracks_me]

(1) We showed how @Google's performance argument does not stand with https://t.co/ow7tDhnMpn.

(2) Now we show that the privacy argument does not stand either. So what argument is left? Let's be honest, manifest v3 only helps Google's ad business.

[Sam Macbeth @sammacbeth]

Chrome's Manifest V3 changes are quite concerning, particularly the changes to the webRequest API. They will break several of the innovative privacy features we developed and integrated into Ghostery. The Privacy case for these changes is weak at best: https://t.co/GTloEOknjG
