Can’t believe people always use this crypto-spam browser.
Same, I was surprised brave is so popular.
I use it for school shit because they don’t work with iceraven(my preferred mobile Firefox fork)
I use it to pirate sports streams and thats pretty much it. It just works better than Firefox for some reason.
Probably because it’s chromium based and the sites are chromium optimized
That’s my opinion at least
Well, it does do a fantastic job of removing ads and reducing fingerprinting.
So does Librewolf. What’s the benefit of brave? Chrome-based? Checked chromium from time to time and don’t think chrome is superior over Firefox.
Neither do I. I use Mullvad Browser, which is based on Firefox.
Brave has its own content blocking system, which is on-par with uBO and better than uBO Lite. I tested it myself a while back, and Cover Your Tracks, Fingerprint.com, and CreepJS indicated that it was incredibly difficult to fingerprint: moreso than Librewolf, but slightly less so than Tor/Mullvad.
That said, however, PrivacyTests.org indicates that Librewolf blocks more tracking technologies than Brave, so it’s possible things have changed since I last experimented with browsers other than Tor and Mullvad.
WebHID support which some webapp configuration tools need to function
Chromium is generally more secure than firefox.
Sources?
Wow I got downvoted a lot on that I thought it was a generally agreed upon fact. Source (graphene os)
I still use firefox btw because I prefer it for many other reasons but chromium is definetely more secure.
GraphaneOS founder has fetish for Chromium and he hates F-Droid 1
tldr: he accuse f-droid not being secure and citing this bs post https://privsec.dev/posts/android/f-droid-security-issues/ and he promotes accrescent.app
here is some examples:
Open source doesn’t necessarily mean more secure. I’m aware of many open source apps with numerous well-known security vulnerabilities, as well as many closed-source apps that are highly secure. Furthermore, Accrescent will have a filter to, for example, show only open source apps, so your treatment is incomprehensible.
Accrescent doesn’t claim to serve only open-source apps and never has out of the belief that an app’s source model doesn’t inherently make it more or less private or secure. Qlango doesn’t violate any explicit or implicit Accrescent policy by the properties you listed, so it would be inappropriate to remove it.
…In addition, “trackers” are subjective. Accrescent has no plans to enumerate specific libraries or classes and blacklist them solely based on the fact that they connect to Google, Amazon, etc.; collect analytics; or contain proprietary code. This approach isn’t scalable anyway because it is trivial to bypass such detection methods.
So I take everything GraphaneOS says with a grain of salt

One source from a sadly biased author. I am honestly too lazy to aggregate some numbers for CVEs to find out what’s the truth but I am sure that it is not an inherent quality of chromium to be more secure.

Why is Thunderbird listed with proton mail, tuta and fastmail?
They are a provider as well as a client now.
Interesting. So you can actually create a Thunderbird email address?
Survey shows that majority don’t know what they are doing
Matrix is the protocol. Element is the client and just one of many.
How can Thunderbird be the third favourite Email service, when it’s not even an email service? It’s a mail user agent.
Or do they mean the Thundermail service available in the Thunderbird Pro Subscription?
Do you need an account to use Proton VPN?
Yes but it is free (email address) with an acces to 5 countries (Netherlands, Romania, Japan and 2 others i never used). To extend it worldwide you have to subscribe to a premium account.
It`s 10 countries. USA, Canada, Mexico, Netherlands, Poland, Switzerland, Romana, Japan, Norway, and Singapore, though it connects randomly and you can’t choose the IP

I was asking because I used Mullvad in the past and I love the fact that not even they know who you are because to them you are just a random generated number, which occasionally gets 5€ deposited.

You know I just remembered that no one actually confirmed whether DuckDuckGo wasn’t just a honeypot for the NSA because it didn’t become big until after thr Snowden leaks lol.
