I forgot to mention it, i use Aliases for everything, even my 2FA has one. This is basically hack proof, because they will never know the true email address (if they get the hand on my alias) where i receive the verification code. 👍

The only way they could steal your data is if they hack in your smartphone, or if you connect to shady Wi-Fi. Stay Safe Boys!

I use Proton Pass and Ente Authentication (2FA).

I can’t access my Proton Mail without my 2FA, additionally I can’t even access my 2FA without my email address (verification code is sent to my mail to unlock my 2FA codes + I need the master password). If i lose one of them I am screwed you would say, but it’s not the case.

What I did is to write down my Proton Mail Password and its secret code for 2FA + My Ente Authentication credentials (mail + master password). This way I will always be able to access my Proton Mail, even if i lose access to my 2FA app.

This is the worst case scenario, i also have a second phone where i keep Proton Pass and 2FA logged in, so if I lose my main phone, I am not completely locked out.

I agree 100%.

NordVPN undertook three independent audits to prove their no-logs policy. You can check that with a quick search online.

I am not sure about that particular leak and the kind of data that was leaked, but I am pretty confident about their zerolog policy as today. NordVPN has undertaken not one, but three independent audits, which is more than other known VPNs.

Many websites confirm their clams, like those ones:

https://www.vpnmentor.com/blog/nordvpn-no-logs-policy/ https://www.tomsguide.com/features/nordvpn-logs-is-nordvpn-secure-does-it-keep-logs-and-can-you-trust-it https://www.tomsguide.com/news/independent-audit-confirms-nordvpns-no-log-policy-for-the-second-time

But in the end it is up to you if trust it or not. For me it is pretty good.

I have been using NprdVPN for 5 years. Speed is pretty good, and their zero-log policy have been proved by 3th party. They also use RAM only servers which is better.

It may be a bit expensive though.

Is Firefox blocking tracker by default?

At the end I switched back to DDG.

I am so curious about LibreWolf. I am gonna try it soon on my daily laptop (Linux of course 😂).

Now I remember why I started using DDG, they are as transparent as they can be as a search engine. Thanks for sharing these useful links.

Yes, mate. Same for me. DDG has been around for longer.

I didn’t know that, but after reading all these comments, its CEO doesn’t look like pro privacy, am I wrong? Maybe, but for now I stick with FireFox.

That’s so bad.

I just realized it 😂

I did a quick search, but I didn’t find any comparison between the two, so I just asked about it.

A lot of information came out, and I reckon this thread can help someone else down the line.

Thanks for the comment though. 🤙

Hey, thank you for the answer. Yes, I just switched back to FireFox. I am gonna try LibreWolf on my Linux Laptop though.

In the end, the best thing is to use Firefox with Ads / Trackers Blocker.

Brave seems alright as a search Ingine, but its CEO looks fishy so I am not sure if I am gonna keep using it.

I see where you are coming from, but at the end Firefox is just better from a privacy point of view (open source).

True, I honestly like that too.

Just curiosity to be honest. But I see that there aren’t many diversities between the DDG and Brave, so I may as well get back to DDG.

Thanks, I am gonna try it.

Actually, You are right. I am gonna do like you said. Cheers.
