When Skytorrents first showed up, advertising an ad-free and privacy-focused service, we were skeptical. They wouldn't be the first to start this way but change their tune when visitors started coming in.
[...] "We will NEVER place any ads. The site will remain ad-free or it will shut down. When our funds dry up, we will go for donations. We can also handover to someone with similar intent, interests, and the goal of a private and ad-free world," Skytorrents' operator informed us.
[...] Users will not be able to create an account, for example, as that created a weak spot. The same is true for Javascript, which isn't used at all.
"For example, using a CDN breaches user privacy. As far as complete privacy is concerned, either there is complete privacy or zero privacy. For maintaining complete privacy, we do not use cookies, java scripts or user logins. We also do not have any moderators," Skytorrents informed us.
Damn, even we use cookies for log-ins.
