My experience with Russian sourced software is to treat it as low trust, like I do everywhere else, until proved otherwise. An example is gitflic.ru. I’m cautious about it but can see a number of developers moved there after being thrown of MS’s Github so a very legitimate reason to use it. Is potential Russian surveillance any worse than the government of the country in which you live? Probably not.
I would never install this into Firefox but I do want to point out that a lot of pirate stuff is hosted in Russia these days because they can ignore takedown requests
Bypass paywalls clean is what i use
Uhh, no thanks
Genuine question, are Russian sites any worse or better than anywhere else these days?
You make a fair point; maybe I’ve become too cynical, but probably not. Seems like everything everywhere is enshittified all at once lately.
I think your right that yes it does seem like a coordinated crack down at the moment. Almost like round 2.

Isn’t archive.ph also russian?
*.ph should at the very least be Philippines, but to be completely honest I do not know.
You do know those don’t really mean anything unless used by a government agency, right?
Same! It works with most popular sites.
