No
Services like this could be useful if you already have a connection through something encrypted (encrypted mail, matrix, …) but the files are too large for sending without this.
You don’t have to use all the services, most of them have an excellent free tier. My setup is paying for VPN, using the free tier of pass and self hosting my email and cloud storage.
Legally they (and every other company) are required to hand over data to the police, however they can try to have as little data as possible. While Proton doesn’t take as extreme measures to protect your privacy as for example mullvad, they have no log policy and such. I believe the case where they had to collect data (IP address, which they normally don’t collect) they received a legally binding order from the Swiss government which normally is used for serious crimes. Every company has to follow these orders, so this isn’t a proton thing but rather a Swiss law thing.
Might just be me but I have seen way more men in this outfit on lemmy
I would recommend looking at this site. My personal recommendation would be simplex chat. It’s decentralized, doesn’t require a phone number and supports forward secrecy.
Kagi has some problems
I think it heavily depends on where you live. In a country like china you just need to have the wrong belief and your existence itself becomes illegal
So the solution for signals problems is a matrix based app that doesn’t even have passcode rekeying? Also it seems like the source code of the app isn’t available and they literally advertise that they will hand over to the government on request
Onetab is recommended by Firefox, so it gets monitored for security in some form, but regarding privacy it sends your visited domains to google to get the favicons but the rest of the privacy policy seems very good. As with any proprietary software, you can not really know if it is safe, you just have to trust it. As an alternative I would recommend Tab Stash, it does the trick for me
I agree, everyone should use green Ubuntu
What if I’m a graphics’s designer that comes from FreeBSD
In the settings of your browser click add search engine, and the paste this link
Just fyi parts of floorp are proprietary
SearXNG searches google, bing etc. for you and shows them to you. Speed depends on server speed and user number. Even if you don’t self host you can change the search providers in the settings, which can have an effect on result quality, but the less you choose the faster
Lilo is more feature complete than Ekoru and allows you to choose a charity (including ocean cleaning), maybe check it out
I have tried all the engines for this post and Ekoru has been working fine. I’m using the Firefox rpm on Fedora, slightly hardened, no VPN, Quad9. Make sure the Ekoru extension is up to date and has all the necessary permissions or alternatively try lilo
I wouldn’t use firedragon. It is a very outdated fork of librewolf, which is hardened even more. While librewolf is only a few days behind regular Firefox, firedragon sometimes is months behind making it a horrible choice for security.
Edit: seems to no longer be the case
I have been looking at this for 5 minutes and still can’t decide if it’s ten or ten thousand
