Is this the GitHub repo for it?

Yeah I don’t personally like how unlike LibreWolf it doesn’t use ResistFingerprinting.

Not OP, but I’ve never heard of IronFox. Is it a comparable replacement for Mull? Gods I’m still a bit salty over how sudden that was…

LibreWolf is what I use, but I heard Zen Browser is another fork that’s been getting some traction. I don’t use it though, but I’ve heard from someone who does that it works for them. thumbs-up

As someone who’s both poly and trans.....................fuck.

I appreciate you explaining this to me. :)

I heard Tuta is a honeypot. Is this not the case?

That stuff becomes a moot point once you have a decently working bureaucratic system (if and when). If you can ask for a digital certificate online, and get it in your email three days later, you’re not too worried about losing a copy.

Yeaaaaah, I see where you’re coming from, but no, I’m just gonna stick with a paper copy that I know is reliable instead of a theoretical bureaucratic system that could possibly be reliable if it were to exist but in no way does exist (at least in the US).

This is the government after all. I’d like to have a paper copy in case they fuck something up during a system update and “can’t find me in the system”. (This is not very likely, I admit, but I wouldn’t put it past them some days…)

Edit: Also, what if I don’t have three days and I need said document(s) as soon as possible? That’s where a hard copy comes in.

Sorry, my bad. I meant more stuff like the birth certificate and other vital documents. I really should’ve specified.

(I swear I’m not a dumbass sometimes.)

Meanwhile, there’s me who just likes paper versions of this stuff because I like to be able to order a backup hard copy just in case something happens to the first one.

Edit: I’m a fucking dumbass. I was 100% aware they were talking about driver’s licenses, yet I was only referring to other vital documents like one’s birth certificate, and yet I didn’t make the connection in my brain. Apologies. :/

What’s obvious to you may not be obvious to other people?

Likewise, what’s obvious to you at one moment may not be obvious to you at another, simply because you’re thinking about the situation from a different angle.

It would only harm google

Good.

and deter competition

Perhaps not. They’ve “deterred” competition for years. Maybe with them being pushed back a little it’d give some room for other companies to breath for once.

Most people, however, are not that careful about partitioning their accounts (myself included, frankly).

Lol.

• ProtonVPN – VPN
• LibreWolf – Browser
  • uBlock Origin
  • Skip Redirect
  • NoScript
  • Decentraleyes
  • CookieAutoDelete
  • DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials (tbh I’m not sure if this isn’t redundant frankly what with the others I have installed; might get rid of it…)
• KeePassXC – Passwords
• FreeTube – YouTube

I’m the same here as I too use the Fediverse and LibreWolf, but we shouldn’t kid ourselves about the former: by the very nature of how the Fediverse works, it is honestly pretty damn terrible for the purposes of privacy. Unless I’m missing something, which mind you is certainly a possibility.

I feel like that’s kind of a case of circular reasoning though: we move away from it because it’s legacy, and it’s legacy because we’re moving away from it… Mind you, I’m no expert on VPNs; this is just something I thought I’d bring to attention here.

Same. I’d love to know any privacy-respecting companies…that is, if they even exist.

And, as advised, watch for unusual activity (but forever, not just a few months, that’s just a false sense of security).

Alternatively, pay a service (one that’s actually reputable!!!*) to watch your shit for you. (Still keep an eye out, of course, but this at least takes a LOT of the load off.)

For example, I pay a 12.95 USD a month for a service provided by my credit union (way better than a bank) and I can input whatever information I want monitored. They do that and let me know as well if they detect any shit going down. They also give me an update email every month letting me know that something has changed (or, likewise, if nothing hasn’t changed :) ).

I started doing this way back in 2018 when my wallet (containing my ID, debit card, social security card, everything) was stolen. (Gods, that was a fucking nightmare.)  

*None of that LifeLock bullshit. AFAIK that’s just marketing fluff mainly. (Somebody correct me if I’m wrong on that.) In any case, I don’t trust any service that is provided by the same fucking company that owns Norton. shudder****

Oh that is a SHAME.

DuckStation is such a wonderful piece of software too. :(
