They’re all like “privacy and freedom”, “take control of your data”…
They’re saying they’re the best for privacy literally on their website. You might argue that Apple does it too, which is fair, even though everyone knows it’s a lie
But yea anyways that’s a big flaw, they shouldn’t push customers to enable a feature that effectively deanonymizes them
Yea but from time to time, it’ll just break the entire site. I had a case where for some reason one of the ublock filters removed divs named "privacy" so the whole privacy policy page dissapeared. Happened on a website I was developing and didn’t understand what was happening.
I think I had this happen on tuta's website as well
Also the shadiness around the OXEN foundation doesn’t make me want to support them financially. A crypto on which they get a certain % of each block mined, and also have pre-mined currency? Heh, can’t support that
I’m all for switching for Session, but it has some serious issues that can’t be ignore and that you didn’t talk about:
Messages fail to send WAY too often. On mobile it automatically retries to send the message so all good, but not on desktop / windows. Having to resend the same message 5 times for it to finally work is annoying
Notifications and message reception can be really delayed on mobile (android specifically), but goes faster on iOS than on desktop
Mobile apps have some accessibility issues like not scrolling down automatically when a new message is received while the conversation is open
The android app regularly crashes
the onion routing sometimes gets stuck on mobile. The solution is to close the app and wait for it to choose a new route
image quality sucks. Too much compression even with the best settings enabled
These issues have been here for a couple of years now. That’s pretty annoying not to see any change and improvement
