I use Bitwarden, but what’s wrong with 1password?
They had a database breach afaik. Also a Malwarebytes extension will VERY likely compare every URL i.e. track you unnecessarily. There is UBlock Origin, nothing more needed.
Sounds possible, but do you have evidence?
Not yet. Functionality looks unnecessary though, as its simply UBlock origin.
Will have to do a mtim analysis which I dont really see myself doing
Even if they did that, there are ways to do that without compromising privacy.
They did not have a data breach.
Ok thanks for the heads up. Seems to be just a service offering proprietary cloud-based password storage.
I think this is very toxic towards forming habits for People.
I will do a Step-by-step guide for Android and Linux/Windows, how to sync your passwords between devices using Syncthing and KeepassXC/DX. It is so easy, like 15 steps and you are done, with images and all.
Nothing. Some guy on the internet that uses Firefox doesn’t like them.
Also, Malewarebytes? I don’t use them but I thought they were actually legit.
Only the free malware detection. But they tend to bundle a lot of “clean your registry”, “reclaim unused space”, “pay us to
sieve all your private browsing datakeep you secure” bloat as well. It shouldn’t be permanently on your system as they can track and funnel data like crazy if you let them.So basically like every antivirus.
They recently implemented some in app analytics. But it’s opt-in. The feature is turned off by default. 1Password still pretty great, especially if you are using it with your family.
