@Tutanota Brave?
@KingCasi no one that respects their privacy values would ever use another Chromium browser, especially Brave.
@Tutanota I want a browser that blocks everything by default and with settings that are user friendly to everyone, not just tech geeks.
@MichaelBishop
Librewolf is pretty good for desktop and Mull for Android
@Tutanota
@MichaelBishop @Tutanota Firefox does that, the only thing that changes is the settings layout, but I don't see any big differences. There are settings for accounts, privacy, search, etc.
You only may have to change the default protection/blocking if a website doesn't load correctly, but I prefer not to use those websites if they depend heavily on bad JS or too many ads.
We can't change or improve Firefox and alternatives if we keep supporting Google Chrome and derivatives.
@MichaelBishop @Tutanota if you block everything by default you get fingerprinted. The best is to provide random data so their collected data get poisoned.
@Tutanota heyy, just a reminder that the alt text is supposed to describe all info in the image! the chrome alternatives should be listed there too :) (to any screen reader users seeing this: these are Firefox, DuckDuckGo, Tor, Fennec, Privacy Browser, and Librewolf)
@Tutanota Im using Bing how worried should I be about security, at least Ublocks still works
@Tutanota Is Vivaldi a no go?
@TomasHradcky from the Vivaldi devs, "We will keep Manifest v2 for as long as it’s still available in Chromium. We expect to drop support in June 2025" so it's just delaying the inevitable until next year.
@johnglass @Tutanota Thanks. I've been enjoying the experience so far. I have it on all devices.
@Tutanota
I'm using four of those.
@Tutanota
Both DuckDuckGo and Privacy Browser on Android are WebView browsers and would use the system Chrome/Chromium provider and are inherently limited.
Please see my notes here: https://divestos.org/pages/browsers
Disclaimer: am one of the Fennec F-Droid maintainers and Mull and Mulch are my projects
@Tutanota firefox is hardly a solution. It comes with all privacy switches disabled, and if you start enabling them, you end up with a pretty visible fingerprint.
Librewolf already comes with ublock origin and very resistant to fingerprinting.
Two questions:
Does Tuta have a spreadsheet function like Google sheets?
Can you create more than one email account?
@Brentguernsey Hi there! We don't have a spreadsheet function - but nice idea! Regarding accounts, you are welcome to have more than one paid email accounts. If you'd like a free Tuta account, it's limited to one.
@Tutanota
I've been loving LibreWolf lately. It's a fork of Firefox but with all the junkware totally ripped out of it. Definitely recommend checking it out
And the "Mull" Browser?
Mull (Privacy oriented web browser)
