That’s on corporate sites just saving work or intentionally obstructing and restricting Firefox because Google basically a monopoly.

For me personally Firefox (and it’s engine Gecko) work fine for 99% of websites I visit.

It uses Google’s browser engine base called Chromium, which Chrome is based on (the used engine is called “Blink”). A lot of websites are made to just function well on Chromium and maybe Safari

For normal usage and actually using a messaging app for what it’s intended (contacting people in your life), it’s far too obscure and non-streamlined tbh. Signal is more than good enough for the thread model of chatting with friends and family, and ppl you got to know online

Still a proprietary black box you shouldn’t trust and chromium based so you reinforce the chromium monopoly

Tried it out, but since I was so used to the standard OsmAnd style it just felt wrong some way.

It really like how OsmAnd allows for so much customization e.g. in map styles

Not knowing you can buy used/refurbished betrays a deep level of real life illiteracy

What’s wrong with Briar?

Sounds more like a Freedombox problem for not supporting one of the best ways to run sevrer software ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

They joined that open washing company ughhhh

Then Proton seems to be the only usable VPN for anyone who Torrents and gives a shit about seeding. (Only scumbags don’t seed)

At least out of the three privacy oriented ones you mentioned that at least has OSS clients IIRC

I think there is also

and for the more privacy conscious the wonderful:

They have Google in their

Proceed with caution!

The following manufacturers require an online account and/or a waiting period before unlocking.

section, despite you not having to do either of those to unlock your phone to install e.g. GrapheneOS?

Organic Maps and thus by extension CoMaps are supposed to be minimalist and light on features. They are kinda the polar opposite to OSMAnd (at least regarding that)

Glad to be of help! I personally really like Syncthing, since it makes implementing a resilient decentralised backup strategy quite easy.

Though I would recommend you go with “Syncthing-Fork”, as iirc the “vanilla” app was put into maintenance mode or smth like that

Well, if you didn’t know, Molly is a soft fork of the Signal Android client.

But, I think both support making local backups of your chats.
I do so daily and keep two copies. These get synced in real time to my little NAS and/or my PC/Laptop

Glad to see they are establishing useful streams of revenue

I, however, will continue using Molly in combination with Syncthing

I get wanting to phase out Mercurial in favour of git. But why did they have to choose Github T_T

Ideally they would have just hosted a their own Forgejo instance (heck, a Gitlab one would have been better too FFS). Even just using Codeberg and donating would have been better

The for-profit side of Mozilla seems to have succeeded in purging most of the principles Mozilla used to have (IK they have been eroding over the years and sometimes been too “pragmatic”, this is just the cherry on top of a long series of shitpiles)

if Mozilla actually stood for a free/libre future they’d push Forgejo to the lvl they need it to be (if it already isn’t capable of all that stuff. Haven’t rly interacted much with it).
Since they will still keep the CI/CD on Mercurial for now, there is even less valid reasons for using Github…

I’ve been using it without major caveats since October last year. Even tried the proprietary swiping library you can install (it uses the Gboard one iirc, but OFC it can’t do shenanigans since it’s isolated by the app and not connected to the internet)

What else? “Ignorant and inexperienced consoomers” doesn’t sound very nice…

Love the FUD regarding Onlyoffice lmao

“Every person from insert current enemy of the West is inherently evil and should be judged by their ethnicity. Everything they touch is inherently bad and should be avoided. You say it’s a proven and transparent FOSS application that’s one of the best suites right next to Libre office if not better for ppl switching off of M$ Office? Sorry, evil Ruzzians touched it, means I have to downgrade it’s visibility and mark it in red” seems to be the mentality behind that

least xenophobic/racist liberal
(no, Evropen nationalism is not progressive, even if it’s anti-usa)
