I mean, someone made Graphene OS, a fork of Android. Surely someone can also do that for Firefox, right? 👀

[–] [email protected] 32 points 3 weeks ago (8 children)

There are several Firefox forks. Waterfox (based in Europe UK), Librewolf, Zen etc.

I have been loving LibreWolf for a while now. Can really recommend it!

constructs like companies and software come and go but the individuals, the movement that strives for freedom stays the same

I've been trying the duckduckgo browser, I think I may stick with it. No idea what to do about email

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 weeks ago

I've started migrating from Proton to Mailbox.org. Mailbox supports IMAP, and they have a calendar as well. https://mailbox.org/en/

What about Proton? If you mean the fiasco a few weeks back then that's a false alarm where the internet just went apeshit over an innocent remark.

Edit: From what I've seen from these replies, it's all false alarms and nothing actually implicates Proton here. A Swiss company is not obligated to put up a disclaimer saying Trump bad every time they want to talk about American politics (which they only do so far as it pertains to their privacy mandate).

ProtonMail removed “we do not keep any IP logs” from its privacy policy

They praised trump after the election

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

That's the one I was calling a false alarm. Their CEO later clarified what they meant, but the short of it is: Republicans are more likely to go after big tech (he backed this up by facts), and apparently Gail Slater does have a good track record (including working under Lina Khan during Biden's term). Yeah Republicans bad blah blah blah, but that's quite literally not their problem.

proton disclosed the identity of climate activists without even being forced to

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

The article says they were literally forced to comply with the request by Swiss Law as the request went through the proper legal channels.

They also only disclosed the accounts recovery email address. Everything else was obtained by Apple.

Why is reading sources so hard for people?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago

Because it's much easier to get angry about misleading headlines. Comprehension is difficult.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

the report came through channels which made them assume it was serious like terrorism. It was a request not a court order. why is reading so hard for people

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

Where in the article does it say that?

Seems like they only gave up the recovery email and ip address

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Okay now that's shitty.

Edit: Apparently not.

Also their announcement to stop posting on Mastodon and this blogpost

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

The blog post where they talk about privacy being a non-partisan issue that effects people everywhere on the political spectrum, and warn the reader that Donald Trump is going to have effectively no checks on his power?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

Yes, the one where they talk about this not being Trumps fault even though he is the fucking president and about all terror the right experienced under the previous administrations

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 weeks ago

And they're right, it's not Trump's fault that the NSA is as powerful and secretive as they are today, this is a problem decades in the making.
