privacytests.org is ran by a guy who works at Brave, and they test all browsers in default settings, so for Firefox and Vivaldi all the tracking protection is turned off hence why they do not score well. Vivaldi with the settings turned on and Ublock Origin installed in my opinion is better than Brave.
90% of their money comes from Google funding them so that they are the default search engine. The rest of the money comes from their VPN, Pocket and sponsored shortcuts, and voluntary donations.
While that is true, someone who is privacy conscious and is even going to the point of considering ditching a smart phone, probably knows better not to install privacy invasive applications and use secure end to end encrypted communication as much as possible
Yea, works great I have no complaints. Connects very quickly has multi-hop supports custom DNS and even has a built in speed tester. Just use an email alias and pay with a virtual credit card for more privacy
So I attempted to run a crontab and for whatever reason it does not do anything. What I put was * * * * * /usr/bin/sct 2750 after sudo crontab -e just to see if it even runs but it does not do anything. I rewrote and added multiple crontabs but no results. Any help would be appreciated.
I am seriously confused because I follow multiple Youtube videos, and also came to the solution you suggested which is to run "which sct", and it ended up being /usr/bin/sct like you said but the command just does not run when the time comes. I am not sure what "X with environment variables" means so I would appreciate if you could explain and I can research further
To everybody who says ohohoho Vivaldi can't be trusted because it's proprietary...
Yes under the DEFINITION it is not Open Source because it misses ONE of the required categories to be Open Source, and that is the licensing which prevents users from customizing the UI and releasing a fork of it.
HOWEVER, the code IS there, it IS source available, and it CAN be audited.
I love flatpaks. They are usually the most up to date depending on the distro you are using, and as you install more and more flatpaks, the size they take becomes smaller. Also the fact that you can manage flatpak permissions through Flatseal is another bonus.
Use a 2fa authenticator app, Raivo if you are on iOS, Aegis if you are on Android. They both allow you to create backups of the tokens. And then also keep a safe backup of the recovery codes that are given to you after you complete the 2fa.
It's better to be locked out of your password manager and just reset your password for all your accounts, than to have every single one of your accounts get hacked and possibly NEVER get them back.
I would heavily recommend that you don't put all your eggs in the same basket ESPECIALLY when it comes to a password manager. If youre going to use Proton Pass, make a separare email for that.
To answer the next question, yes you do bother with 2FA ESPECIALLY for a password manager. I mean, you are literally storing like 30 or however many passwords, pretty much your entire digital life there. Do you think it is a good idea to have only one form of verification, one that can be easily cracked through a data breach, to hold all of your passwords? There is a reason why services like banks force you into 2FA when it comes to online banking. And you won't have to worry about locking yourself out as long as you backup your 2FA tokens, and also keep a copy or two of the recovery codes, preferrably in an encrypted file container on a computer and a usb drive.
Next question: use long pass phrases. Something like: Fediverse-American-Samsung-Electric-Hydro-Synth, you get the point. It is easier to remember than a password.
Use email aliases as much as you can. Simplelogin and Anonaddy are the two best recommendations. The less your real email is visible, the chances of it being in a breach is lower.
As for your threat model, if you don't want to get hacked, do pretty much as I said above. Don't put all your eggs in the same basket, use a password manager with a strong passphrase and 2fa enabled. Enable 2fa for as many services as possible and make backups and keep the recovery codes safe. Use email aliases to mask your real email.
My bet is either session token hijacking like how Linus Tech Tips got hacked a while ago, or a phishing attack, or a reused password that got breached.

You could get used so that Google does not get any money. It is also more environmentally friendly

Dumb phones have zero privacy.

If Edward Snowden uses Signal, we as regular people should be just fine.

Never, considering how shit ProtonVPN is on Linux
Any tutorials or links on how to do so? I am still a noob so I apologize in advance.

It was a successful attempt I got them to switch
Update: it worked
It's not just about that though, there were many communities only on there.
