Is the censoring of words like bitch instance specific? If so, incredibly ironic for lemmy.ml of all places to be censored.
5·4 days agoVivaldi is chromium… It’s also not FOSS. As with most the other people in the comments, I’d suggest Librewolf, though I’m looking into going back to regular Firefox with a custom user.js for added security.
I don’t recall any new controversies with Brave similar to that, but that said, there’s not much of a reason to use anything other than Safari anyways. You’re forced to use WebKit, and using something like Brave (which tbf is probably one of the better alternatives despite their history) only increases the number of parties you must trust, while mostly just being a reskin of Safari.
If lack of good ad block (e.g. beyond DNS) is a deal breaker, Brave seems to be the only open source option. Otherwise a good DNS server and adguard should get you most of the way there on Safari.
My understanding is that they have no intent to violate user privacy, but they’re also not going out of their way to protect it. The goal is to have a completely independent browser, everything else falls second to that.
Nope, it’s not possible to watch age restricted videos without a verified Google account token
Also to note, Proton AG is technically for-profit. They are majority owned by Proton, which is a non-profit, but the company that hosts everything is technically for-profit.
There is a reason every illegal operation runs on Telegram, not Signal. The security is good.
Or it’s because the platform is nearly unmoderated and has benefited greatly from the network effect.
What about Lineage gives you more control than GOS? I personally have never tried LineageOS since I have a pixel, but curious what it’s like over there.
No, you still need a phone number. IIRC it’s on the roadmap, but not a priority.
I don’t mean to say that running / installing Qubes or Whonix is difficult per se, as a matter of fact I use both on my main machine, rather it’s not very intuitive to set up as, and likely far beyond the threatmodel of, someone brand new to privacy.
That is quite unnecessarily extreme for any threat model. Even if we ignore your bringing of a thermonuclear bomb to this metaphorical fist fight, most social media sites block Tor and require a lot of PII to even begin consuming content, so you’d probably be better off practicing self control and avoiding those sites entirely.
6·2 months agoIt seems OP forgot the link to the video. After doing some digging I found this video, which seems to match the thumbnail: https://redirect.invidious.io/watch?v=3SdlKDD5jF8
If you’re using a third-party email client, but using a gmail email address, then PGP would stop Google from reading your emails (assuming the private keys aren’t compromised).
If you’re using their email client, then nothing stops them from decrypting your emails if they really wanted to. IIRC, gmail doesn’t natively support PGP anyways though, so you’d have to use a third-party client.
Reject Convience does privacy policy reading streams, and has a pretty hard stance on no TLDRs. If you don’t have time to watch it, save it for later. Better that than to trust a random person’s 5 word TLDR.

“You mean we have to let the public use the services they’re paying for? Wtf!”
FWIW, you can install the entire proton suite with Obtainium. For whatever reason though, 1password exclusively distributes through the Google play store, but AFAIK that doesn’t make the app itself any less private.
