Great concept but not stable enough for serious use.

Mega offers e2ee and good prices. Collaboration does not update correctly on mobile (android and ios). Besides that, works well.

Koofr is also very good with a full e2ee option for the paranoid. You can also pay with Monero which is important. Any service that is selling privacy but does not offer a private method of payment is half-assed. Mega only takes Btc and calls all other crypto “shitcoins.” Draw your own conclusions.

Proton Drive is well on the way but missing a lot of features and the smoothness of other cloud providers. I think they need 6-12 months to really be up to snuff.

Good security-wise, maybe. But who protects you from Apple? They have access to everything they so conveniently sync for you for free. That is neither secure nor private. The same goes for Google. People don’t understand how much of your stuff they have access to.

It’s not perfect but its the best we’ve got for now. Regular VPNs just shift spying capacity from you ISP to them. Tor together with VPN actually reduces your privacy. Some new platforms are being developed but don’t seem ready yet. Hoping…

Tor browser is great. If you use it for places like here you can speak and browse freely. This has become a luxury in our life now.

You can export from freeOTP+ Its great. You can back up to another password manager by simply copying the shared secret also. But I don’t think it’s available for iOS. Oh well, if you want more freedom and privacy, you’ll have to move to android.

Recommending iCloud keychain in a privacy forum??

Public chats are, well public. If you are in a public chat then everyone can see what you say. Encryption or any other attempt to make it private are silly here. If you are in a private, encrypted group, then only those people can see what you say (unless someone leaks). If you are in a e2ee personal chat with one other person, then only the 2 of you know what is being said. If you send a regular email that is the same as a postcard and anyone can look at what it says. You choose where and how you want to speak and adjust accordingly.

I see what you’re saying, but contrary to Twitter, Brave works very well and has very good security and privacy features. In fact it significantly improves upon Chromium which it is built on top of. It also offers massive improvements over Chrome in the privacy department. So whether he agrees with you that guys can become girls or vice versa, or whether he believes the same narrative that you do regarding corona is simply irrelevant. If you have found a new security or privacy flaw, I would love to hear about it. But pushing your irrelevant opinions on others who are not interested, is unpleasant for us, and a waste of time for you.

Yeah, I was thinking of browser PM with auto signin. But I’m dropping all that now. I wonder why these privacy and security focused browsers like Brave include options like this if they are bad for users.

This is what I was doing before I switched to cookies for convenience. I will be going back to this now.

Thanks, I will be deleting all cookies and using my desktop keepassxc.

Thanks for your response. Points 1 and 2 would be the same if I used an in browser password manager. I backup all passwords on my desktop manager and my laptop is pretty hard to break into. For point 3, do 1st party cookies track people? I thought they were mostly benign and for site settings.

Stop with the ad hominem attacks. We are interested in the tech specs and not your personal opinions of what is “right” and “wrong.” Stick to the point, which is privacy and the tech that goes with it.

keepassxc for desktop and for Android: FreeOTP+ (the plus is important)

Also there’s no reason for using a VPN as the VPN provider will see the exact same thing as your ISP.

This is not true for Tor Browser.

And for regular VPN’s that depends on how hostile your ISP or government is. It may be much better to let some company in a far away country who don’t care about what you’re doing to see your stuff.

Glad you made the move. It is contradictory for any privacy focused community to be hosted on Reddit with all the spying and censorship that goes on there. People just have to get up and leave. Same with Google, facebook, etc. Stop whining and move is what I say.
