I disagree on Trump with that article, and so I didn't read
much. But this is not the place to go on about politics.

For lack of time and also insufficient knowledge to follow
you I am unable to quickly get the gist of these:

No, I don't. I'm at intermediate level in programming.

I use Mutt for mail, and look up HTML mail with its default
"links2 -g" which is safe enough.

And I browse with Pale
Moon, because it has TLS-decryption available for setting up (which
Iceweasel and Debian packaged Firefox do not offer)
and I trust Pale Moon way more than Firefox nightly (which
also understands the SSLKEYLOGFILE env var) which I
have to use for websites that do not support Pale Moon.

But I can tell you Firefox is horrendous by the shear number of
connections it makes and which the user didn't ask for. It's
connections to all kinds of places that Firefox makes just
when you start it...

That's tracking... And it's hard to analyze because of the
shear diversity and number of those connections...

Edward Snowden spoke, relatively recently,  generally about
such shear number of connections browsers make, but I don't
have the link readily available...

Pale Moon is a real friend in comparison, it does not
connect to big surveilling tech... Easy to analyze, but not
on complex sites like Facebook (hate it, but sometimes go
because of friends)... No browser would be easy to analyze
for such sites.

Does Emacs offer setting up TLS-decryption (repeating the link I
gave before:
https://wiki.wireshark.org/TLS )?

Can anybody say if it is at least present in somebody's mind
that it would be good to do that?

I'm not going to be browsing anywhere with something that
leaves junk to see in network traces instead of decrypted
traffic.

I already have that case with Getmail that I used and the
author declined to think much about implementing
TLS-decrypting when I asked him (it's on the Getmail mailing
list somewhere, same email as on this list I used).

This is very interesting, but I can't postpone my other work
to study this:

This is also very interesting, but I can't postpone my other work
to study this:

Just it's not a TLS-decryption setup friendly browser, to my
knowledge.

So when I find time, I'll be happy to be able to find these
great advice on Libre Planet ML and study these!
