@pkimpton I will have to check that out, I have been using #distrohopper from #fdroid for my launcher

@pkimpton Keyboard Warriors sounds like a really crazy action movie that needs to be made!

@pkimpton It's possible that people should have greater concerns than something that trivial.

@pkimpton I got someone on a forum up in arms about this topic a few weeks ago. I think it's silly too, especially that it has since been resolved and the sites all resolve as they should.

These kind of factoid wars can be resolved if everyone has the latest info on it.

TLDR version: Antitrust move by google, but it is now made right.

@pkimpton that is the same for me. The disparity between Brave with desktop vs mobile is crazy.

I like DuckDuckGo a lot. Good people doing some great stuff. FYI some might not like it being called "Duck", only due to Google stealing Duck.com away from DuckDuckGo in 2010. There was a time when duck.com went to Google.Com

@pkimpton Brave did well on desktop but failed terribly on mobile. Weird stuff

Doing tests for the DNS setting this evening, block inbound port 53 is the best addition to this setup. I love the community in Librem.one chat/Riot/Matrix! Thanks for the suggestions!

@pkimpton You are on track to bring me back to Brave on mobile.

For desktop, Epiphany's score was a big fail. Firefox with privacy extension and Brave had the same score. So possibility abandoning Epiphany if I can't get privacy extensions

@pkimpton Nice! Glad to help!

@pkimpton same here on the lazy, once I figured out that my top 5 browsers on Android were reporting back to places I wasn't accessing, I just stopped using my Spy Brick for stuff that required privacy.

I am excited to put the Mobile PureBroswer through its passes. I trust it but I will feel better when it at least "scores" higher than the others.

@pkimpton I like brave but I haven't done any testing to see it brave reports back to google, as it is a Chrome derivative. I have not found a Browser I am 100% happy with yet. Been using Epiphany and Firefox when I have to.

I hope to set up a solid set of tests and find one browser (or more) that works good enough and that doesn't "phone home", I just haven't had the time to do the research myself yet.

@pkimpton after figuring out that Chrome resolves at the DNS specified by you/your computer, and then proxies Ads and other stuff to their DNS. Its the same way spyware works

@pkimpton have you tried the DuckDuckGo Privacy browser?

@pkimpton WOW I have not seen that device before! That just made it to my possible future devices list!

@pkimpton I can't do the double tap either, with little ones around. Saw you pre-ordered too! Very exciting times!

Also considering pre-ordering the PinePhone, as a back up. I see myself loading a few operating systems on it for fun (much like I do/did with android). I just can't justify having two phones on pre-order at the same time.

As a side note, first change would be using an encrypted MicroSD as the /home dir and setting up a second OS via dual boot.

@pkimpton same here, only used it as a power button. I found that if I load the old firmware/radio on this phone, it got better signal in my area and the fingerprint senor does even log (logcat) or register. Ultimate "feature not a bug" moment for me!

Figured out a way to make the fingerprint sensor on my old android unusable without physical damage. https://www.zdnet.com/article/android-and-ios-devices-impacted-by-new-sensor-calibration-attack/

Very excited for the Librem 5 when it comes out!

No rush to the team making the Librem 5, they have been so good about updates and getting things right!

@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz made the switch back about a year ago and I keep going between Firefox and Epiphany. What I really need to do is to see if I can get the PureBrowser working on Arch, it seems to be a better version of Epiphany. #archlinux #pureos #purism

@lunduke It has taken me years to start to de-Google, de-Facebook, and protect my digital privacy. My friends and family don't get why I am making this change. Being a professional technical person for a decade and a half, I feel like I am unable to "show them the light" with logic, knowledge, reason, and supporting articles of the scandals in big tech privacy (or lack of privacy). HELP!!

@FruedianFloyd @switchingsocial@mastodon.at Librem One comes with a PIA VPN (called Librem tunnel). I have trusted PIA for years.
