really want to like vanadium, but it’s giving me a unique fingerprint… So I am currently using Brave

is this meant to dailydrive and be as anonymous as tor or better than firefox, but for real sensitive stuff you should still use tor?

grapheneOS devs say Firefox is unsafe, but I think they say that for anything that isn’t Vanadium (their own browser)

I came from ddg, so I just assumed / tried and they worked :D

for me it’s an ethical thing aswell. I bought a Pixel and am currently using GrapheneOS, but had I known about Fairphones earlier I would probably have gotten the FP4 back then. Sure they might not be as powerful as other phones, but if we don’t support them while they’re small, they will never get there at all. I gladly take the performance cut (to a certain extend), if that means buying an ethically (fair) sourced phone and supporting them becomming better in the future. I know this is not the case for everyone.

you underestimate normies sticking to defaults

As a GrapheneOS user I approve this message. (altho I’d rather support Fairphones than Pixels, so I am happy we have them as an option :)

I’ve heard of Startpage (which appears to be a frontend for Google results), but I personally like Brave Search more (visually, also you have !bangs for quickly searching wikipedia, ddg or startpage when you need it). I heard ecosia should be private, buy I’ve been ciritical and didn’t look into it yet, because its main focus appears to be planting trees.
