    “Defaults are extremely important, we can’t babysit every app update in the devices of a tech illiterate person we help or simply suggested Firefox to”

    Note: Standards are also important to show whether developers and organizations are actually privacy in their products and services. It is not a matter of having knowledge to modify your taste. But as it seems that it was simply a problem in updating Fennec, everything is ok. They must correct soon.


  • Seriously, man?! So much relevant question to be addressed and you will pay attention to it? hahahaha. But let’s go! I do not speak English, so I use translator. If the translator has chosen “Always” and is not suitable, it is not my fault. I mentioned that “Always Used” to use Mullvad Leta since the beginning of its recent operating period and everyone knows. Explained? So let’s go to what matters, privacy!




  • AFAIK, Mailbox.org was once open source, but has not very recently become closed source. PrivacyGuides.org recommends it, as does Tresorit (encrypted cloud storage), for example, which is closed source and is one of the services I use. Providers that implement encryption, have been audited, have been on the market for years, and have a clean track record of security or privacy scandals, which there aren’t many of these types of services these days. But I personally don’t like them and try my best to avoid closed source softwares as well.

    In conclusion, PrivacyGuides mostly recommends open source software but also recommends some that are not based on their features, reputation, security and maturity.


  • Tuta has already been through some cases linked to German court orders to decrypt emails received in the inbox of alleged criminals, just like any other company that is subject to the legislation of its respective country (I don’t know the difference with Proton, which until now I only found out about the delivery of IPs, not the content of the emails themselves, based on Swiss court orders), but I don’t believe it is a honeypot because Tuta has clarified the entire issue and still has credibility in the privacy community.











  • I managed to find a way by downloading the user profile that appears and copying it through the user profile manager to the user profile of the banking apps and, if it wasn’t available in any of the Aurora Store apps, I would prefer to use it on the spare smartphone that I have.

    I never use dubious sources like this, especially banking apps.

    But it’s good to know that there are people facing the same problem so that the developer can perhaps solve it.

    By the way, does anyone know a way to contact him?
