EDIT: Provide support for your claims, please. I'm not looking for anecdotes. I'm not convinced by stories from other people.

I've yet to find anything except the reference to the Jewish word "Gabbai", but "gift of gab" is just as viable as a possible source of the name, no?

I've also seen something about someone being removed or having something censored. Was that not mentioned openly and done because the alternative was the removal of Gab from the host?

Lastly, someone was posting that you couldn't post anti-Jew stuff on Dissenter - doesn't the Vice article on the front page disprove that?

I get the overarching suspicion of anything being a Jewish psyop until proven otherwise, (thanks @Trigglypuff,) but:

A) Can it be proven otherwise?

B) If we avoid anything outside of Voat because of that possibility, we'll be self-censoring just like (((they))) want, no?

I'm on the fence; help me figure out which side is greener.

I have no idea on any of that, however, Dissenter seemed too intrusive to me. I won't go there.

What is intruding that you don't like?

It requires email, and keeps track of all the sites you're visiting.

It does require email... there is no proof that it keeps track of all the sites you're visiting.

The extension is open source, so it would be pretty hard to hide something in there.

If you're commenting on the site, it's pretty fucking obvious what you've visited. Yes, it tracks you. It doesn't even need to try.

If you're commenting and posting on Voat, you're being tracked too... Your username, your IP address and the time you visit, just like every other site.

Here is the total of the executable code:

Popup.js

var n = {
        name: "Google Chrome",
        slug: "chrome",
        scriptVariableMap: {
            BROWSER: "chrome",
            MESSENGER: "extension"
        },
        manifestMap: {
            "background.persistent": !1,
            incognito: "not_allowed",
            offline_enabled: !1,
            version_name: "0.1.1",
            version: "0.1.1"
        },
        version: "0.1.1"
    },
    e = "chrome",
    t = "firefox",
    i = "edge",
    o = "safari",
    r = "https://dissenter.com/discussion/begin-extension?url=",
    a = function(e) {
        return !s(e) && !u(e) && (null !== e && "object" == typeof e)
    },
    c = function(e) {
        return "string" == typeof e || e instanceof String
    },
    u = function(e) {
        return !c(e) && !s(e) && null != e && null != e && (e && "[object Date]" === Object.prototype.toString.call(e) && !isNaN(e))
    },
    s = function(e) {
        return Array.isArray(e)
    },
    l = function() {
        document.body, document.getElementById("popup");
        var i = document.getElementById("popup-iframe");

        function t(e, t) {
            t,
            setTimeout(function() {
                var e = encodeURIComponent(t),
                    n = r + e;
                i.setAttribute("src", n), i.classList.remove("hidden")
            }, 250)
        }
        this.init = function() {
            if (n.slug === o) {
                var e = safari.application.activeBrowserWindow.activeTab;
                a(e) || (e = {});
                e.title;
                t(0, e.url || "")
            } else chrome.tabs.query({
                active: !0,
                currentWindow: !0
            }, function(e) {
                if (!e) return !1;
                var n = e[0] || {};
                n.title;
                t(0, n.url || "")
            })
        }
    };
document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function() {
    (new l).init()
});

Background.js

var e = {
        name: "Google Chrome",
        slug: "chrome",
        scriptVariableMap: {
            BROWSER: "chrome",

        },
        manifestMap: {

            incognito: "not_allowed",
            offline_enabled: !1,
            version_name: "0.1.1",
            version: "0.1.1"
        },
        version: "0.1.1"
    },
    n = "chrome",
    r = "firefox",
    o = "edge",
    t = "safari",
    i = "https://dissenter.com/discussion/begin-extension?url=",
    s = function(e) {

    c = function(e) {

    },
    a = function(e) {
        return !c(e) && !l(e) && null != e && null != e && (e && "[object Date]" === Object.prototype.toString.call(e) && !isNaN(e))
    },
    l = function(e) {
        return Array.isArray(e)
    };
chrome.browserAction.onClicked.addListener(function() {
    chrome.tabs.create({
        url: "index.html"
    })
});

Yes, all that is related to this site. Not the other sites I visit. The problem is that dissenter is funneling all the data from all the sites into one site. Instead of each site individually knowing I've been there, instead one site knows every site I've been to, and displays it publicly.

Nothing is tracked until you willingly push a URL to the Dissenter website.
