session is not made by signal. it originated as a signal fork but is now its own, inferior, thing

use Start Page for search, they don't keep logs or track IPs and they have a built in proxy for viewing sites anonymously.

Yeah, we need to stop Google's monopoly.

Is BSD any good? My crappy debian distro doesn't like to talk to my j*b's microslop machine, it always eats drives coming from there.

Yeah I was all "the only one of these categories where I don't use one listed is the mail… where's proton?… oh."

Tangentially, Sweden needs to cap political contributions. 5 million kronor ($503,446) is crazy.

Indeed. I suppose I'll stick to Proton. They suck ... a bit less.

Hi there! Thanks four your suggestion, we will have a look into that 😀

firefox for privacy??? lole

I Use It To Get Office All The Time. But Yeah, Linux Is better IF You Know How To Use It, And A Lot Of People On Here Don't

Thank you for the recommendations.

Can I use all of this in a normal windows lap top ?

Been using KeePass for decades.

librewolf is actually highly insecure because it comes downstream from firefox, which is inheritly insecure. Ironfox, unlike librewolf, does put in a significant amount of mitigations against firefox' weaknesses, but its still not as secure as chromium.

IRC is not accessible for the average person. Matrix has poor UI and frequently renders messages undecryptable. Signal/Molly really should be on this list instead of those.

Many thanks!!!!!

Thanks and enjoy your summer too!😎

Firefox has become a memory pig like Chrome has been. I wish I could use something leaner and less invasive like Vivaldi at work, but the IT overlords won't allow it. 😤

But Vivaldi is Chromium based and not FOSS.

Duckduckgo is using bing and is really terrible these days

Throw in matrix for some ✨spice✨

And a very private text app.

personally for my search engine i prefer brave ^_^

"Tuta Mail does not support POP3 because it would store emails unencrypted on your device. " WUT? It would let me read my own mail offline? HOW CRAZY IS THAT?

I use the full proton suite for passwords, VPN, cloud storage, and email.

Deep dive, guys. Deep dive 😂 But thanks, beginners will appreciate it.

Bookmarked for future reference, Thanks! 👍🤜😁

firefox based would be better, librewolf is the best IMO

"Online Privacy"....

The #EU is using #Qwant

Set DNS to Quad 9

You may or may not have described my rig.

I use Linux Mint, Firefox, and I'd like to add Protonmail to that list.

Brave, not Firefox. ProtonMail

Don't use a password manager 😂 Duckduckgo is not open source

passwod manager - pass

Firefox? Meh

problem what about vegas pro after effects premiere pro yk video editing software blender as well!!

Why is your PDS still om the bsky network? atproto.at/uri/at://did...

There is also www.qwant.com search engine to your list

PearPass - pass.pears.com - looks interesting but not interesting enough for me to switch from KeePass. Vivaldi is also a great alternative browser. I have been using it for the past 3+ years with Startpage for search and Nord VPN. I also use StartMail for email with my own domain and Thunderbird.

Never use Google - have the 2nd and 3rd Richest men in the world own it is NOT a good sign. Imagine if Musk owned it ??? Brave Browser is private

Good for phones too?

🤬🤬🤬 typos!! 😅😂

Or, you could just buy a MacBook...

I prefer the Librawolf browser

📌

GNU/Linux

Was lookin at proton mail, didn't know about tuta, I'ma go have a look. Cheers.

Free and open-source software. Free as in freedom, not free beer.

Nah, he is still there sadly But yeah, Vivaldi is freaking great, not just from a piece of software view but their ethos too Them and Waterfox recently got the highest scores in this big ethicality in browsers study I read :D

I would recommend mullvad browser with their VPN for privacy focused browsing not using tor

Proton mail

Proton Mail is also a very good email tool. Check it out and download it.

Lol firefox

Things we should all know? Ty....

Have done all of the above, only need an email client to work wih my strato email servers. Will check Tuta

This is open source github.com/plausible/an...

I will take a look, thanks a lot!

I feel like I could make a post like this

mullvad browser is better then Firefox for privacy

No way am I using the AI obsessed Firefox. Yes, I can opt out, but their heart (and money) is in AI.

thanks for the list

What about brave browser!?

Why not Qwant in search engine?

I just seem to have a trust issue with cloud flare. Nothing really to blame it on. Just my "feelers" wiggle. Since those "feelers" have seldom been in error I just go on and do something else. But I'll look at that today.

It doesn't appear to be in android unless I missed it

Though in that situation the bits that set you apart mean more.

Librewolf has been my favorite, default, GOATed browser for like 3yrs now.

Librewolf is actually designed to hide in plain sight. That's the only real way to hide from fingerprinting. That's why by default you're stuck in light mode and it isn't full screen. I dont think it spoofs your OS so with Linux you might still leak enough info to be fingerprinted

Tuta is probably not going to recommend anything from Proton.

When buttons still looked like buttons and 4 GB of RAM was enough for comfortable work 😔 I still remember those times and having Clippy always on 😀 tbh. I did take this as a pfp because of that one Louis Rossman video.

The linux version, as provided by Signal themselves signal.org/download/lin... is now available as an AppImage that should run on multiple distros, which is a very good development. As noted in a diff. reply they had only APT-based systems covered in the past, so RPM users were screwed.

Mac app has been available since forever

I use the Linux version every day
