Hahaha. Worse yet if Windows AI starts recording you doing that with your webcam while sending your mom a ransomware email.

AI gone bad.

Opensource Sweden!

Google! - the best spying engine the world has ever seen - collaborating with the 3 letter agencies.

Yes. The number one hurdle is to get common folks off WhatsApp. Good luck with that.

So the most liable option to substitute WhatsApp is Signal, which has a somewhat big (not huge) user base, but the probability of that happening is slim to none.

Telegram is even more used than Signal but don’t trust it for total privacy and its used for funny business.

Then coming in on 4th place, you have the rest like Matrix, Briar etc. You might get your best friend to use it, but that’s about it.

They also offer other things like a search engine which is not opensource, which is understandable for a business perspective.

But I don’t know. I just don’t have a good feeling about Brave.

Also, I prefer Firefox based browsers on desktop, we need competition in the browser space.

On mobile, the chromium based browsers are just to superior in performance to switch from.

I read ya.

I was always skeptical about Brave with their side projects of crypto etc. Its funny because privacytools.io recommends them till this day.

I have been using Librewolf for some time now and I am happy with it.

Funny, I never get files from my computer to my phone, its the other way around.

If I want some folders and files to be on both I use Syncthing for that.
