I’ve checked once on the fingerprint testing website how my firefox scores and brave just out the box scored way better. I have been considering to move to brave since then. Temporarily I settled on using firefox for casual web browsing and mullvad for shopping.

1·4 months agoI agree. I have been using it for years. First it was a bit buggy with my Huawei GT 2, but it has become almost buttersmooth. The devs are really putting effort in it.
Most probably true. It is sad though that they are not straightforward about it so that they send a list of domains they like.
I know I cannot win this one, but on my last attempt to reason with them, I asked for a list of allowed domains…
Sucks to see something go this way. Recently I was forced to flash stock ROM on an older phone to be able to use revolut, because they cracked down on custom firmwares…
Oh, the good ol’ T&C violation, of course not saying which part… vinted is smashing hard on people not using big tech solutions.
You practically either have the option to use your “subdomain” e.g. foo@mylittlepony.addy.io or if you are fine with random characters, then you can have an address on the main domain e.g. xhgj18273@addy.io. Unfortunately this is not the first provider I see only accepting big tech addresses/accounts…
My guess is that the agents answering are also not shared any information why some domains are blocked. I would also think that they have no idea what a domain is. Not the chatbots that answered the first couple of mails. :D
The idea is that is it more “real” than the other social media apps, because you cannot prepare your best self for the photo and not necessarily the best memory of that day will be recorded. Reality is that most people (maybe all people) have a relatively boring life (it’s not everyday that something worthy of attention happens) and there is not much value in sharing e.g. your lunch. Most people had it that day and yours was also not that extraordinary.
Unfortunately since facebook (maybe instagram topped it) everyone may have their own tabloid platform to share their everyday life as celebrities do on tabloids and people seem to love it.
Not to mention the huge privacy concern that you post of a photo everyday, which may include your location, definitely your face and other useful information that may be used to hurt or annoy you in some way.
It is not considered a good alternative as a messaging app for privacy folks and because the source code is not open, it is not E2E encrypted by default (you need to start a secret chat or something to make your conversation encrypted) if I remember correctly.
I am using a deGoogled phone and also doing browser separation, I only use google in chromium, never for searching stuff. I was talking about getting an electric toothbrush and my wife googled a big brand to check the price (she does not care about privacy). About 10 minutes later ad blocking was not working for some reason and I starter getting toothbrush ads. I would say it knew somehow that we were in the same household and targeted us both.
I always ask if they have a curtain. Why have one, when you have nothing to hide? It blocks the view, sunlight…
Had to scroll too long for this. Exactly, they have been trying for years, this time they are getting further with it.
