If you have the budget, on GOS I have a record button on calls

I see, I’ll keep this DeltaChat in mind. So far I’ve been really enjoying SimpleX, It’s one of my favorite apps

Well I’m not the most technical but on SimpleX you have no user ID’s, routing through TOR and run your own servers among many other features (like the one that adds a radom delay to measages)

Wouldn’t you be helping them?

Why not SimpleX?

Just use Molly (the app)

By their own logic doesn’t exempting themselves mean they want to abuse children?

Quite the opposite, I rather it be up there so I see it’s running. Altough not that it matters much since I have a killswitch

Oh that’s very cool, I didn’t know that. Although I think it isn’t the most useful for me since I don’t have lockscreen notifications and I have all my apps on the home screen

I’m moving away from Proton, and self hosting is cooler anyway. Instead of Proton I’m trying out Tuta, Mailbox, Addy.io and Bitwarden

It happens to the best of us

I haven’t really dived into this but I’m pretty sure GOS dev are one of the groups to recommend against it

People in the comments already have “Avoid Gecko-based browsers like Firefox as they’re currently much more vulnerable to exploitation and inherently add a huge amount of attack surface. Gecko doesn’t have a WebView implementation (GeckoView is not a WebView implementation), so it has to be used alongside the Chromium-based WebView rather than instead of Chromium, which means having the remote attack surface of two separate browser engines instead of only one. Firefox / Gecko also bypass or cripple a fair bit of the upstream and GrapheneOS hardening work for apps. Worst of all, Firefox does not have internal sandboxing on Android.”

I mean Gecko based browsers are actively recommended against on mobile. Chromium based browsers are recommended. Also I use mullvadVPN DNS based ad blocking, and I also have Brave that has built in ad blocking. Do yourself a favor and ditch adblock in favor of Ublock origin

Firefox is not secure on mobile, Vanadium is a great browser made by the GrapheneOS devs

Thank you kind stranger

Ofc, I always have killswitch on my VPN, using alternatives didn’t cross my mind so thanks, I’ll also keep the client in mind

Ah I just now realized, my mistake dude, my brain is fried from my mental state. It seems I was the delusional one all along

The browser itself is open source https://github.com/brave/brave-browser. The rewards and VPN are not (it seems rewards is open source on IOS)

Cromite, but I have switched to brave since, it has better fingerprinting protection, more updates, better security and better sandboxing and isolation. At least that’s what Deepseek R1 with websearch has to say

I use Molly with Orbit proxy, so I feel Signal is the next best thing after SimpleX

Yeah I would rather just nudge them towards Signal, I very much dislike telegram and have recently retired it

Alright, in the future I will likely run an Android VM with WhatsApp using a physical SIM bought with cash or a virtual SIM bought with monero

I think overall I have an edge with Brave, since I use it for NanoGPT webapp which I need to be fast or I’ll kys because it was already slow AF on Vanadium so I assume on FF it will be a lot worse

Thanks, I am already migrating to Tuta, Bitwarden and Addy.io tho

I see, thanks

I heard gecko browsers are insecure on mobile

I am, it’s just that for some of my PWAs, they are unusable/buggy/slow on Vanadium. And lol I’m going around in circles. Do I reinstall Cromite now haha?

I’m thinking if I need to use WhatsApp again I’ll try to download it, connect to WhatsApp web on my laptop and then delete it from my phone. Idk if it’ll work but it’s worth a shot

I wasn’t able to find a release on github for ProtonPass, I did find releases for ProtonMail tho

On the contrary if in the end everyone moves to SMS and normal calls wouldn’t that actually be pretty bad? Since WhatsApp is E2EE (with the major flaw of default unencrypted backups which are shoved down your throat). But maybe it’s not that big a deal since I assume most if not all of the people I’m talking to likely have unencrypted backups

Hmm I might do that actually, I’ve been wanting to get rid of WhatsApp for a while now, I think I’m still gonna use a second browser (Brave now) for my PWAs, my threat model allows it

Note is that I don’t link my SimpleX to my PC but create separate profiles

It’s AMAZING, so many settings, and I use Orbot proxy (doesn’t take VPN slot) and configure SimpleX to use it for that extra extra protection (and concurrently I use mullvadVPN for that extra extra extra protection)

Can you give me a quick rundown of how you run your cloud space? Can I just Ubicloud + Coolify + Nextcloud?

Ah ok, I was wondering if the database file is encrypted, ignore my comment since it was intended for if the file is unencrypted by default

Ah fuck, I use Cromite because I find vanadium PWA for the stuff I use are buggy and slow. I used to use brave for this purpose, should I go back? Damn I guess I will need to link this phone to my throwaway gmail account (which still has private data) WhatsApp I can’t ditch due to family and Signalphobic friends

BTW I find SimpleX is great for syncing between your phone and PC. I used it with multiple computers/profiles on GOS and just created an incognito group without history and with disappearing message and that’s how I moved stuff like addresses and passwords to my PC. The app is also great for communication ofc

Or is the database file encrypted with a password? If not you might want to use something like VeraCrypt to encrypt and password protect the database files on the cloud

Wait isn’t that defeating the purpose of KeePass? I strictly use it as a local password manager (no cloud backups and such), since I thought that was the main spelling point
