they do alot to protect user privacy (as far as we know)
They do nearly nothing to so. Kuketz has analyzed what’s happening when turning some settings that are bad for privacy off. The result: Apple still phones home with respect to the disabled services.
So please stop throwing wrong information
Session does not have much things in common with Signal. They removed good things and nowadays it is not good headlining when saying ‘fork’.
They changed some fundamentale that werde used for and in Mull so I do not recommend it yet
NewPipe needs VPN or Tor for privacy which usually gets blocked
Oh yes. They don’t know the page… They do know what and what IP.
As /e/ and iodé depend on Lineage, there would be no difference. Only Graphene (Pixel-only) and Calyx (critical) are directly based on AOSP and could thus make a difference
Lineage covers many devices but is not very privacy friendly. It does not include Google integration by default. The ßain advantage is longer software support.
Graphene is most secure and privacy friendly OS and comes with support for sandboxed GApps (optional). Unfortunately it is only made for Google Pixel devices so I’m out.
Depending on your reasons and device you could also check alternatives like /e/.
Messages are not end to end encrypted and can thus be read from service provider.
Additionally Google is integrated into website.
Fennec is maintained by Divest developers Tad as well
If correcting, place the correction star appropriately before the correct form.
Example:
This is a worng* word.
*wrong
Correction star has to be placed before the word
Some Websites use Dnt and we know the discussion about cookie banners. We heared arguments that those are necessary to be GDPR conform. There always was the argument to establish, that sites have to respect the state of the art information ‘Do not trackt’ to illiminate the annoying cookie process. Now this Option is gone.
Not so smart.
And being tracked by this header? Simply activated it be default, Mozilla and there are enough users sharing the same configuration.
Yes it is by at least one famous german website
eMail is affected as well. There is no alternative. And mails are not private if not all participants use end to end encryption
A switch to what? To nothing?
To clarify: eMail, web chats, gaming chats, Signal, Threema and so on are affected as well
As mentioned before, you don’t need a cookie banner. You could simply inform, that you don’t collect data other than necessary session data.
The default is Fairphone OS. It is Google Android but they don’t pay to license the name ‘Android’, so they have to use an alternative name.
You can install /e/OS (even preinstalled by Murena) or DivestOS. Any other option doesn’t make sense as Divest is best in terms of security and privacy among all available custom roms and /e/ is most convenient (good but not perfect privacy, bad security but with MicroG, relock and App Lounge as well as Murena Cloud)
And:
I was searching for any native(non-proxied) YouTube client for Android in kotlin.
/e/ has good but not perfect privacy. It still contains connections to Google and they added a tracking parameter to their update calls.
Their update cycles are very slow. You are usually one to two months behind monthly security updates. Full bulletins are a year behind and Webview is a problem as well. They ignore this point and do not realize, that Insuffizienz security is a privacy risk AS well.
So if you want good privacy with a convenient user experience and without thoughts about security, here you go.
