I install ublock origin

No

I’ve heard of this Fediverse thing but I don’t know what it is, can you tell me what it’s all about?

hey man, what’s up, I’ve got some updates. I installed Fennec and used it for a bit, it actually seems pretty good, I’m really considering using it as my default, even though I’ll miss Brave’s speed, the nice UI, and the widget showing how many ads were blocked, but Fennec is lighter (storage-wise) and has everything I need, like, it’s not “Oh my God, the best browser in the universe,” but it does what it’s supposed to, I’m happy with it.

Thaaaaaank you

Honestly, that mindset is way too narrow. For instance, companies and services like GrapheneOS, Fossify, Proton services, and many others are free or have free versions, but that doesn’t mean they’re selling your info to aliens from Mars or whatever. They might be supported by donations (like GrapheneOS and Fossify) or have paid versions of the product (like Proton and Tutanota services). Either way, saying “if you’re not paying for something, you’re the product” as if it applies every single time is a really outdated way of thinking.

my comment was totally a joke, anyway, I don’t use tiktok to watch videos, just to talk to some friends that I can only get a hold of specifically through tiktok

I did that, I’ll see if I notice any improvement, thanks for the suggestion (:

I really want to stop using Ente and start using Immich (overall, I want to self-host a lot of services with a server in my own home), but right now I’m not in a position to set up that server yet. Do you have any other alternatives to Ente that don’t require self-hosting?

Tyy

I removed all the bloatware I found, but I can’t uninstall the Play Store or my banking app will stop working.

so how can I do that then??

it doesn’t make much sense to disable internet permissions for brawl stars since it’s an online game, like, I really need that

I use SmartLauncher; it has an option to change all the app icons so they match the wallpaper.

From what I understand, K-9 is smaller because Thunderbird has more telemetry.

none of the things you mentioned are the same Mullvad: VPN Brave: Browser K-9 mail: email client, I use it to access my gmail without using the gmail app Proton mail: the gmail app itself Aegis: authenticator (I really have no idea where you got the idea that it has anything to do with email) Brawl stars & Roblox: Games, but they are COMPLETELY different games Tiktok: Entertainment (even though I don’t use it for that)

List which privacy promises Brave has failed to keep.
