I’m not saying they should be canceled for that, but appreciated for it? Let’s not.

I appreciate their content, not their choices.

We should not hold those ignorant to privacy accountable.They simply don’t know any better. Instead, we should only hold those actively opposing privacy accountable. We should try to educate those ignorant to privacy and show them the alternatives that exist. I bet if these content creators could switch without major loss (e.g. a major chunk of subscribers lost) most of them would be more than happy to.

It doesn’t yet pair with Gadgetbridge but I imagine it will at some point.

I was wondering this myself. Thank you for that useful information.

Are there any other examples of these privacy violations that aren’t common knowledge?

Here you go :)

Pebble

This isn’t the right community to make this post in, though.

Ah, that explains it. Thank you! I apologize for the mistake.

What gives ivpn, mullvad and nym the advantage for the personal info section?

Originally I was referring to the signup process (since they generate a random account for you) but I edited it to try to add some clarity.

If you feel one of the options offers something better than the one you currently use, you may consider switching. That’s the purpose of comparisons, after all!

This is the website

This is the source code

This is the Google Play Store link (just in case)

I’m not sure. Are you certain you have the right app?

It is not. I’ve been able to use it on GrapheneOS without Google Play Services.

I didn’t suggest F-Droid for inclusion though. I merely used its applicable terminology.

My bad, I understand now.

Because it’s security focused, it includes app stores that are good for their security (regardless of privacy). Other app stores, such as F-Droid, have security issues that Accrescent and the Google Play Store don’t share. This topic has been argued to death countless times before, and I don’t want to start a flame war, but do try researching it and see what comes up.

Isn’t Mozilla VPN built on Mullvad?

Yes. That’s included in the comparison.

Also, why this instead of https://thatoneprivacysite.xyz/#detailed-vpn-comparison

They don’t include NymVPN.

I do not agree with placing switzerland over sweden in that location category

I’d be happy to hear your elaboration on this. From what I know, Switzerland is seen as the gold standard in terms of privacy.

and i think a category should included, that tracks age of vpn or something like that

The issue is that age doesn’t correlate with security. There could be an outdated, insecure VPN that’s been around for 10 years, or a modern, secure VPN that’s been around for 10 days. If I included it, there would be no “good” or “bad” values. Nevertheless, I will include this in version 2.0.

(and just for someone curiouse, it should be mentioned that nymvpn does use mullvad servers/ has a deal with mullvad)

I knew NymVPN used a small bit of Mullvad VPN’s code, but I didn’t know they used their servers. Could you link to this?

As I mentioned, the availability section is security focused. F-Droid has potential security issues compared to Accrescent or the Google Play Store.

Soon :)

I plan to make a version 2.0 with some requested changes.

That seems to be a bug. That’s my bad. Thanks for catching that! I’ll fix it soon and edit the post.

Edit: Fixed! Sorry about that.

I’ve included it both as a post image and as an embedded image for maximum compatibility (e.g. for RSS readers), so there shouldn’t be any problems. I’ve tested it on multiple browsers on multiple devices just fine.

Edit: It seems lemmy.world is breaking all lemmy.ml images

I guess it would be more akin to a “source code hosting service,” but that would imply that I intend to open it to the internet (which isn’t necessarily the case).
