Mega offers e2ee and good prices. Collaboration does not update correctly on mobile (android and ios). Besides that, works well.

Koofr is also very good with a full e2ee option for the paranoid. You can also pay with Monero which is important. Any service that is selling privacy but does not offer a private method of payment is half-assed. Mega only takes Btc and calls all other crypto "shitcoins." Draw your own conclusions.

Proton Drive is well on the way but missing a lot of features and the smoothness of other cloud providers. I think they need 6-12 months to really be up to snuff.

Good security-wise, maybe. But who protects you from Apple? They have access to everything they so conveniently sync for you for free. That is neither secure nor private. The same goes for Google. People don't understand how much of your stuff they have access to.

It's not perfect but its the best we've got for now. Regular VPNs just shift spying capacity from you ISP to them. Tor together with VPN actually reduces your privacy. Some new platforms are being developed but don't seem ready yet. Hoping...

Tor browser is great. If you use it for places like here you can speak and browse freely. This has become a luxury in our life now.

You can export from freeOTP+ Its great. You can back up to another password manager by simply copying the shared secret also. But I don't think it's available for iOS. Oh well, if you want more freedom and privacy, you'll have to move to android.

Recommending iCloud keychain in a privacy forum??

 

I found both these settings set to False which causes a cpu overload when playing video. Anyone know why?

Props to Brendan! Firefox and Brave are have put their foot down. Now they need our support. I'm hoping that nobody here is using Chrome (or anything else Google for that matter). We the users are what gave Google their power. We wanted free shit and look where that landed us. Time to turn things around.

Yes, the Pixel is a very good piece of hardware once you remove the crap software. If not the Pixel, there are plenty of other phone manufacturers around the world. Purism is another interesting option. Android is an open source project and Google cannot shut it down. There will always be ways. The majority are actually pretty smart and capable, just afraid of change. They wake up at some point though.

The asleep will continue to feed those big corps with their blood. The rest of us will move to other solutions. That is life.

 

When I play a video from odysee.com on LibreWolf it uses 2-3x the cpu that Brave does to play the same video. It also turns on the fans in my laptop which signals overburden. My laptop has plenty of power so I"m wondering what the problem is. Have I missed a setting or is this just how LibreWolf works?

I think they are pretty good, and return some stuff that is censored out of Google and Bing. And if I don't find what I'm looking for, its very easy to use Bing which is pretty similar to Google. Microsoft is no better than Google, but we can let them serve us when it suits us, rather than the other way around.

 

Hi, it's very strange, I found your page with posts and it said 1.5k subscribers, and when I joined I am presented with an empty community (0 subscribers) and no posts. I checked many times that I am in the right place so maybe I did something else wrong?

 

I'm wondering if it isn't better to just whitelist cookies for the sites I need to log into and not bother with a password manager extension (keepasxc or bitwarden). I try to keep the number of extensions in my browser to a minimum to lower the attack surface. And why involve one more entity in the password story? Are there any problems with using the (1st party) cookies of sites I have signed up to and use to keep me signed in?
