Quite the opposite, I rather 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
Obtainium > F-droid
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
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
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
Since you get your apps straight from the source. Also F-droid is recommended against in Privacyguides. And lastly you can download F-droid apps in obtainium. Just make sure to use Appverifier or at least compare hashes if Appverifier doesn’t support the app
