This can just be a bad joke. Xmpp is not event considered by PG as an alternative. Besides, as long as you encrypt the data it does not matter on AWS or somewhere else.

Completely agree. They should follow the Jeffrey Epstein’s link and networks if they have the balls. You don’t need to scan all people’s phone on earth. Well, it includes high profile people, so good luck with that.

You can use a community instance as pointed out by other authors. It’s a pity that they make this change, but still we should be grateful for this open source product that can be hosted by other providers.

Up to 4 ppl, you can use brave talk. For more, use https://meet.calyx.net/ or https://framatalk.org/

You can be anonymised in many ways. But, keep in mind that most of of them are sophisticated attacks which require a lot of effort. No organisation on earth has unlimited resources.

Why does a three letter agency spend this effort for you? Are you a very important target? If yes they can do it. If no, then your threat level is not that high. You don’t need ANONYMITY, you need privacy.

Why not use the stock reminders since you are already on iO? You can also use this app. https://www.condution.com/

Edit: I saw it’s already recommended by another user.

2FAS or Ente Auth.

It’s kind of a vulnerability. Afaik, in case of a compromise on a website, it prevents being spread. For me, it’s an important security feature. Actually, it should be for everyone. But still, I use Mull on android activating https only.

to avoid misunderstanding, I am just stating the ridiculousness of relating Tor to the criminal networks, not some kind of a conspiracy like funded by US organisations. Of course, Tor is almost the only way to anonymity.

No, it was proxying from bing at first place. Then they removed it.

I think this is one of the most relevant news as also other users point out in the comments. I was using ddg just because brave search did not support image and video search.

It seems that the user deleted his tweet. https://mashable.com/article/zoom-use-calls-train-ai-artificial-intelligence

Signal could be a good replacement, if it allows sharing a meeting link. Otherwise, you have to create a group for each meeting.

Thanks. This is the first time I saw this. Will check it out.

When the number of participants is above 15-20, and you need to share screen, it’s not stable. So, people always complained about its quality when I sent an invitation.

It’s funded by the us govt, darpa and American universities. But people won’t look at it just as they do with privacy policies.

I am undecided btw 2FAS and Ente. 2FAS has an excellent UI, but there is no desktop app. Ente requires an account, but it’s not a problem considering that everything is E2EE and it’s a company with good reputation.

Cromite is a fork, so waiting a bit before using it would be helpful. Vanadium is a good option if you use grapheneos. Even though there are controversies around Brave, it does not affect privacy and security of it. Turn off crypto and other stuff and it’s done.

Firefox on android does not provide per site isolation. I don’t think it is significant as long as you know what you accept by using it. If you are willing to take this road, then Mull is the browser you are looking for.

Bulls*t. What the random YouTubers claim without evidence is also nonsense. It’s remarkable to allege that an open source and audited app is a honeypot. Well, find it guys, it’s open source.

+1 as a Proton unlimited user. Yes, proton has some unfinished products, I mainly purchased it for vpn and email( also SimpleLogin). So others are a bit of extra for me. After some time, I also plan to switch from Bitwarden to proton pass. If macOS client comes, then I will also switch to proton drive.

I was not aware of that. Thanks for the information.

I tried it a few weeks ago. As an app in beta, it seems promising. But I am waiting to be able to customise local storage path since I would sync it using my own cloud storage.

After 1 gb, you need to purchase additional storage. Basically it’s freemium.

Still don’t understaand why devs prefer fork in instead of improving existing apps and duplicate efforts.

Is it possible the site is outdated? No mention of Brave, Protonmail, Simplex, Bitwarden, ProtonVpn, Brave search, startpage and more. It suggests Decentraleyes, https everywhere, privacy badger.

E2EE is the most important protection for your messages. Otherwise, it means that all of your messages can be accessed just like a word file in their server. It’s up to you

I read long ago of criticisms about encryption algorithm by experts. Instead of using existing standards they baked their own algorithms. They were not recognised cryptograph experts. Afaik, they improved it over time. But there might still be issues.

In sum, trust is not your friend and up to you without E2EE.

Just switch off brave rewards and sponsored content. And, your fork is ready.

Tl;dr Browser extensions may use web accessible resources; not all do, but thousands use these resources. https://www.ghacks.net/2022/06/19/your-installed-browser-extension-may-be-used-to-fingerprint-you/
