  there’s just 2 official servers. the default selection is the one in the USA. you can use any of them regardless of where you live.

  there are other public servers too, and it can also be selfhosted.

  bitwarden for passwords, aegis for time based codes.

  choose the eu instance for bitwarden.

  don’t forget that google play tries to deceive you when searching by showing you the real app down in the results, and the first result usually being an actual piece of malware that tries to lock you in.

  it does. it locally aggregates, collects data about what you do on your computer across the days and weeks.

  Sometimes it does not let you do it in the filterlists menu, because it thinks it was updated recently enough. I guess some users were needlessly spamming it or something. when that happens, you can still force update it, if you open uBO’s menu and click the message bubble button (expand if you don’t see it)

  reinstalling shouldn’t fix anything, it’s not buggy. that probably fixed it because technically you updated the filterlists. but there’s a button for that.

  btw that’s the case with most steam games. if it doesn’t have DRM, all you need is the goldberg emu dll and done.
