Best apps for private messaging

Hello. I am looking for an alternative to Telegram and I prefer an application that uses decentralised servers. My question is: why is the xmpp+omemo protocol not recommended on websites when it is open source and decentralised? The privacyguides.org website does not list xmpp+omemo as a recommended messaging service. Nor does this website include it in its comparison of private messaging services.

Why do you think xmpp and its messaging clients such as Conversations, Movim, Gajim, etc. do not appear in these guides?

Is it true that Firefox is not secure on Android?

Hello. I am a Firefox user, and everyone I know tells me that using Firefox on Android is not secure. What are they basing this claim on? I have tried using Chrome, but I always go back to Firefox because it is the only open-source browser that allows me to pin favourites to the home page and because the display of websites adapts very well to the chosen size. Which FOSS browser derived from Chromium allows you to choose your favourite websites on the home page?

Grub-bls or Grub-efi for a home user

Hello. I just received my new mini PC and I want to delete the Windows that comes installed and install Tumbleweed. I have seen in the Yast installer that the default grub is Grub-bls instead of grub-efi, which was the default until now. Which one should I choose, and what benefits does grub-bls offer to make it the new default boot manager in Tumbleweed? Thank you for Tumbleweed.

Arch Stability

I have always been afraid to install Arch because they tell you it is difficult to install and unstable. I want a simple system following the KISS philosophy and install only what I need, which is little. I don't need anything from the aur repository, for now. Just a year ago I installed Arch and there it is, no problems and doing every day pacman -Syu. It has been a real discovery for me, it's the only distribution I've had this last year that hasn't crashed. I didn't expect it, but Arch has made me change my opinion and pay less attention to the opinions of "youtubers" and more to my own experience. In your experience of use, has Arch been stable in its operation?
