Signal is Flawed, Why XMPP is Amazing! (new animated video)
This can just be a bad joke. Xmpp is not event considered by PG as an alternative. Besides, as long as you encrypt the data it does not matter on AWS or somewhere else.

Brave fork without crypto crap?
Just switch off brave rewards and sponsored content. And, your fork is ready.

Completely agree. They should follow the Jeffrey Epstein’s link and networks if they have the balls. You don’t need to scan all people’s phone on earth. Well, it includes high profile people, so good luck with that.

Tutanota vs Proton Mail
+1 as a Proton unlimited user. Yes, proton has some unfinished products, I mainly purchased it for vpn and email( also SimpleLogin). So others are a bit of extra for me. After some time, I also plan to switch from Bitwarden to proton pass. If macOS client comes, then I will also switch to proton drive.

How you can be deanonymized through Tor
You can be anonymised in many ways. But, keep in mind that most of of them are sophisticated attacks which require a lot of effort. No organisation on earth has unlimited resources.
Why does a three letter agency spend this effort for you? Are you a very important target? If yes they can do it. If no, then your threat level is not that high. You don’t need ANONYMITY, you need privacy.

Bulls*t. What the random YouTubers claim without evidence is also nonsense. It’s remarkable to allege that an open source and audited app is a honeypot. Well, find it guys, it’s open source.

I've read that not all extensions make your browser have a more unique fingerprint, like if they don't modify webpages or something. Is this true?
Tl;dr Browser extensions may use web accessible resources; not all do, but thousands use these resources. https://www.ghacks.net/2022/06/19/your-installed-browser-extension-may-be-used-to-fingerprint-you/

meet.jit.si, the Jitsi Team's instance, now requires a Google, Microsoft, or Facebook account for their online service
You can use a community instance as pointed out by other authors. It’s a pity that they make this change, but still we should be grateful for this open source product that can be hosted by other providers.
Up to 4 ppl, you can use brave talk. For more, use https://meet.calyx.net/ or https://framatalk.org/

Cromite and Vanadium
Cromite is a fork, so waiting a bit before using it would be helpful. Vanadium is a good option if you use grapheneos. Even though there are controversies around Brave, it does not affect privacy and security of it. Turn off crypto and other stuff and it’s done.
Firefox on android does not provide per site isolation. I don’t think it is significant as long as you know what you accept by using it. If you are willing to take this road, then Mull is the browser you are looking for.

E2EE is the most important protection for your messages. Otherwise, it means that all of your messages can be accessed just like a word file in their server. It’s up to you
I read long ago of criticisms about encryption algorithm by experts. Instead of using existing standards they baked their own algorithms. They were not recognised cryptograph experts. Afaik, they improved it over time. But there might still be issues.
In sum, trust is not your friend and up to you without E2EE.

Privacy on Android phones

Is it possible the site is outdated? No mention of Brave, Protonmail, Simplex, Bitwarden, ProtonVpn, Brave search, startpage and more. It suggests Decentraleyes, https everywhere, privacy badger.

What's your opinion of Anytype?
I tried it a few weeks ago. As an app in beta, it seems promising. But I am waiting to be able to customise local storage path since I would sync it using my own cloud storage.

Brave releases its own privacy-preserving image and video search
Reply in thread
I think this is one of the most relevant news as also other users point out in the comments. I was using ddg just because brave search did not support image and video search.

When the number of participants is above 15-20, and you need to share screen, it’s not stable. So, people always complained about its quality when I sent an invitation.

It’s kind of a vulnerability. Afaik, in case of a compromise on a website, it prevents being spread. For me, it’s an important security feature. Actually, it should be for everyone. But still, I use Mull on android activating https only.
