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's audited and open source

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
