Jitsi is an incredible Free software video conferencing platform. I use it every day, and I'd be lost without it.Great for self-hosting (mine runs on a Pi; fine for a low load!), and you can get managed instances of it too.It has come on leaps and bounds in the past couple of years too.https://github.com/jitsi#FreeSoftwareAdvent

@WinstonSmith@techhub.social @neil @ThatPrivacyGuy I continue this thread with one more question. What is your, any of you, view on Vivaldi? I am aware that part of their code is proprietary. Does that in your view disqualify Vivaldi from privacy and/or security point of view? Or do you see concern of other reason? Or do you consider Vivaldi a relevant sw to use?

@hehemrin @WinstonSmith@techhub.social @neil I’ve never used it but not being FOSS would be a concern for me. If we go back to the days of Opera Mobile which at one point had collected more behavioral data than even Google had we can see the risks (this data was a large part of the value Opera marketed when trying to get acquired).Browsers see our most sensitive of data - in my mind that means they must be open source to be trusted.#privacy

@ThatPrivacyGuy @hehemrin @WinstonSmith@techhub.social @neil I'd say Messengers see evem more sensitive data, and the operating system sees ALL of its users data. But behind those two, yeah, browsers are probably next.

@n0r @hehemrin @WinstonSmith@techhub.social @neil I don't do banking or shopping over messenger. I don't do research for my work over messenger. I don't watch porn or stream other content over messenger...

@ThatPrivacyGuy @hehemrin @neil I think what one writes to family and friends is more sensitive than how much is earned or which movies are watched.Not arguing in favor of vivaldi here, I think a browser does indeed need to be foss, and so do operating system and messengers.

@n0r @hehemrin @neil I dont use messengers to write to family and I don't disclose anything sensitive when I talk to friends/colleagues on messenger. From a #SurveillanceCapitalism perspective my browser is far more of a concern than any other application as I use it for almost everything (I generally refuse to use "apps" as I have less control over the data they collect).#privacy
