The poll has ended and the results are in. While Firefox was what everyone voted for, there is hardly enough votes (only 11 votes) to make viable conclusions. However, Firefox is a commendable privacy-friendly browser. It is #FOSS with open APIs, comes with 'Enhanced Tracking Protection' by default and is a generally fast browser. Just remember to follow this guide: https://blog.privacytools.io/firefox-privacy-an-introduction-to-safe/.
With a rise in digital privacy awareness, more and more web browsers are trying to market themselves as secure and privacy-friendly. Which one do you think has actually succeded in respecting your privacy the most? Leave a comment as to why you chose it. π€
More and more reviews are being published about our email service - and since a couple of months about our calendar as well. π It feels good to know that the data is safe in Tutanota: https://tutanota.com/blog/posts/tutanota-secure-email-review
@danarel@mastodon.technology I would like to bring to your attention a few errors on your site (https://www.thinkprivacy.io/). First of all, Telegram does provide a transparency report (https://t.me/transparency) and it is mostly open source. I would also like to mention that Wickr has only only released the source code for its cryptographic protocol as far as I know. I would also like to recommend LBRY as another alternative to Youtube. I am a huge fan of your work and I hope it keeps improving! π
Ditching the Google Play Store is not as difficult as you think. Did you know that there are more ways to get many popular apps on your #Android phone besides via the Play Store? Here are some examples:
https://signal.org/android/apk/
https://www.whatsapp.com/android/
You can also get apps like Tutanota, Bitwarden, Telegram and the entire Librem One suite through F-droid (an alternative app store). Try it out: https://f-droid.org/. #privacy #privacy4everyone
The #librem5 is slowly making its way to becoming one of the best privacy-friendly alternatives to the current smartphone duopoly! However, if you can't stay without apps like #Signal and #Whatsapp, just get #LineageOS on a compatible #Android phone.

Linux desktops have come a long way but many people still perceive it as being 'difficult'. In this article, Jason Evangelho discusses how to mitigate this issue and encourage wider adoption. π
With many improvements in wireless networks yet to come, I still feel that wired networks are superior. There is less interference while being more reliable. Not to mention, all this radiation is probably not good for us as well.

Thanks @gnome for the great work you do for everyone as we all benefit. By taking action on behalf of the opensource ecosystem against patent trolls it helps make the world a better place for all (maybe not the trolls though). Remember because of @purism and GNOME we finally have a great mobile phone UI. Shout out to KDE, UBUNTU touch, Pine64 and others helping linux on mobile become a safe alternative reality for all!

Firefox appears to be pushing the limits for their users' privacy protection. I personally use the Brave Browser due to their integration with known privacy extensions and TOR. Which browser do you prefer?
