You can easily switch back to stock Android if necessary :)

I switched a couple of years ago and the process then was pretty straightforward to the point I can’t really recall much about it, I can’t imagine its got trickier since then. I’m due a new Pixel sometime this year and I plan on putting Graphene straight on to it.

Process is simple;

1. Backup everything you want to keep and move the backup off your device.
2. Identify FOSS equivalents for all the apps you currently have (but maybe you already use them)
3. Read the installation instructions. Re-read until you understand exactly what every step entails and means. Any step you’re at all unsure of, ask. Much better to ask questions before you start than be stuck needing an answer halfway through.
4. If it goes bad (which it won’t) or you don’t like Graphene you can, as I said, revert back to stock Android.

I speak under correction, but I believe that whilst yes adding any add-on can potentially alter your fingerprint, it’s also true that a site has to test for the presence of that particular add-on you’ve added. I don’t believe there’s a way to test generally for the presence of add-ons and report back which add-ons a visitor is using.

I may be being overly pedantic here but that statement, whilst I don’t doubt its good intent, always reads to me like a bit of a get out of jail free card.

I’m not sure how much weight you can place on a recommendation when the full criteria isn’t know and can be changed on a whim. And yes, I’m aware I can browse the forum, ask and see for myself but I’m not sure your average user is going to feel confident enough to do that.

Disclaimer: not a security expert at all, just a working knowledge. However, what I read 18 months or so after reading that github thread was enough to reassure me.

That’s the discussion that’s approaching 3 years old.

A recent PG forum thread is discussing it. PG deemed it not secure enough almost three years ago, based on solid reasoning.

However, that was three years ago and the product has altered dramatically. I just don’t think it’s been resuggested/evaluated since then.

PG forum users (and PG itself) are pretty inconsistent with how they judge stuff. Not trusting one company (Filen) because there were issues three years ago (and are now, as I understand it, fully addressed) but totally trusting another company (Brave browser) despite repeated actions that erode trust is odd behaviour.

I’m a filen user myself, just in the interests of full disclosure.

How was that an ad? What exactly did you think was being advertised?

And some of us quite like tutorials as they tend explain not just what to do but why it’s being done.

Weird. Wonder why that is. I can see the three 3 posts but its says zero subs.

It’s not exactly the same thing but Revolut is probably the closest thing to what Privacy.com offer.

That Community’s deader than Thatcher. There’s literally zero subscribers.

Quickest answer I can give you is to search this Community for ‘brave browser’, where you’ll find links confirming that:

1. It’s owned by a scumbag
2. It’s selling copyrighted data that isn’t its to sell
3. It’s crypto offering is a bad joke
4. It has been caught installing software without user knowledge or permission
5. It got caught inserting affiliate links

Basically, trust that Brave Browser can be a good product and trust that the company are responsible is pretty much dead. Every time they try and sneak another thing past their users and (inevitably) get caught, they of course apologise and promise never to do it again. Then they do it again.

It’s characteristic of all forms of totalitarian leadership. The communism/UK comparison is wrong because we don’t have a ruling party that shares any of the main traits of communism.

“A lot” is the answer to your question. But communism is not one of the things we’re having to deal with at the moment. Quite the opposite in fact.

All offer domains and hosting/VPS which you can use Monero to pay for.

Things to bear in mind: totally anonymous domain purchasing means you have no real control over it as it can’t be proved you are the owner. If the registrar fucked you over, you lose the domain.

For Android, Aegis. You can get it it on Play, on one of the numerous *-Droid sources or straight from GitHub with Obtanium.

Simple to use, open source, does encrypted exports which I regularly backup (along with Bitwarden and SimpleNotes exports) to one of these (Amazon link). It’s perfect for me.
