Sry, I should have mentioned I meant Cromite on desktop.

Self hosting has the advantage of keeping your encrypted vault local and under your control.

Cromite is a good brave alternative without crypto, built-in adblocking, secure defaults (better security hardening), and cross-platform (Linux, Windows, Android). Best experience is on Android. Cromite is an actively updated fork of Bromite, released by a former contributor of Bromite. Cromite also comes without any proprietary libraries on Android (unlike Brave, Mulch, or Vanadium).

It can sync, most if not all Firefox based browsers can sync

You can install uBlock origin lite and the adblock plus engine is segregated by cromite

Vanadium does not provide adblocking/content-block, comes with proprietary dependencies, and provides no fingerprinting protection.

Betterfox isnt more private/secure than Arkenfox. Betterfox is actually softer in its security and privacy approach. Its goal is to cause the least site breakage, which means more data leakage and softer defaults. Not a bad thing, just not true about Betterfox.

Use Mull (made by the DivestOS developer) on mobile. It is available through the dev’s f-droid repo. It is hardened Firefox mobile similar to Librewolf and supports sync because it is a Firefox mobile fork. It is also fully open source and doesnt come with proprietary dependencies (unlike standard Firefox mobile)

Instead of Mulch I would recommend Cromite. It is fully open source (free of proprietary dependencies unlike Brave and Mulch), has anti-fingerprinting (unlike Mulch), and has built-in ad-blocking. Browser comparison table made by the Developer of Mulch: https://divestos.org/pages/browsers

Self-boting is against ToS. You have to be careful when interacting with the Discord API. Maybe there is a way to run the discord website to fetch text messages.

Edit: Neat project.

Maybe inversely because of the increased heat of the tightly packed components.

Maybe to you, but with a proper algorithmic analysis of the sounds differences can be fingerprinted and differentiated.

In my experience, room encryption is opt-in and permanent for a room.

• AGPL-only is a license, I didn’t want to misrepresent the license by being general. I was just trying to say that it is surprising that a fully open source application like signal has a large user base.
• PFS isnt enabled by default for group chats and generally feels messy as the end user to deal with. I was unaware that they have properly implemented it for group chats as well.
• My point about metadata still stands. Matrix still does not protect metadata (one eg: reactions to messages are in unencrypted).

Matrix doesn’t protect metadata, which is arguably just as (if not more) important than message data. Signal by contrast does protect metadata and proper implements Perfect Forward Secrecy for all chats. I do think Signal’s centralized design and phone number requirements problematic, but Signal still has many merits. Such as its massive user base for a AGPL-only project.

I close all my tabs many times a day. Probably would be about 50-150+ a day if I didn’t tho lol

Its not piped’s fault, it is an arms race between google and projects that block ads.
