@privacybrowser The desktop version will get the query stripping too, right? Btw, how much common code do both versions share?

A new #privacy website created to bash other privacy guides. Not helpful. Avoid đŻ. đhttps://privacyraccoon.tk/the-problem.html

Quite unexpected: #Google removes information from #Chrome's user agent string for #privacyIn particular, Chrome will not send the detailed version code of the browser and the OS anymore, making #fingerprinting by websites more difficult. Hopefully, other browsers will soon follow!https://www.howtogeek.com/828414/chromes-next-privacy-upgrade-might-break-some-websites

@BreachCat Delta Chat grants any e-mail service involved full access to the respective chat's metadata â possibly including GAFAM, depending on your contacts. Not recommended at all.Wire doesn't prevent metadata either and is also partly based in the US, meaning they are likely forced to collaborate with NSA etc. Don't use it!XMPP and Matrix also don't prevent metadata, so you have to trust all your contacts' servers. Avoid if possible.

@BreachCat Threema protects your metadata from third parties and collects as little as possible. Decent choice.Signal's metadata protection is a bit better; it supports Sealed Sender and PFS, but also requires your phone number. Good choice.Briar is the best option in terms of security and metadata protection, since it's decentralised, meaning that no server is involved at all. Though, that requires both sender and recipient to be online at the same time.

An #email from #PayPal (allegedly from paypal@mail.paypal.de) about new terms of service, containing your full name but also these links:- enquiry@papal.com- epl.paypal-communication.comConsider that there have been #phishing e-mails from PayPal's actual servers in the past (https://krebsonsecurity.com/2022/08/paypal-phishing-scam-uses-invoices-sent-via-paypal).Is this e-mail legit or a phishing attempt?

#todayilearned that the @StartpageSearch #Privacy Protection #addon inserts HTML elements into every website, possibly for analytics #tracking on startpage.comFor example, here's the source code of https://example.org â first with the #Startpage addon installed, then without it.Notice the white block in the first image â it's a div element with the ID âchrome extension installedâ. In the second image â after disabling the addon â it's gone.Consider using #uBlockOrigin instead.

@Janneke It doesn't matter who funds them, since they're open-source, meaning anyone can check that there are no back-doors.

#russian dictator #putin has personally granted #whistleblower #EdwardSnowden citizenship. I wished #Europe would finally grant him asylum, so that such highly questionable political signals could be avoided.Unfortunately, in view of the #West's unity regarding #russia's war it seems unlikely that any of the #US' allies would dare to jeopardise the diplomatic relations over someone as âirrelevantâ as #Snowden in the context of the #war.https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/sep/26/putin-grants-russian-citizenship-to-us-whistleblower-edward-snowden

As you may have heard, #WhatsApp seems to be #down for some users. However, that's not a good argument for switching to federated services like #Matrix, since the same could happen to either the sender's or the recipient's home server, which would have the same result for the end user.See also: https://mastodon.social/@datenschutzratgeber/107831267798723719

@krmh I'd recommend Firefox or LibreWolf. Though, LibreWolf have made a few questionable decisions, like disabling the already privacy-friendly safe browsing feature for privacy reasons, and Firefox needs to be configured in a privacy-friendly way first. Still, both browsers are good options in my opinion.

âI specifically disagree with #ElonMusk's stance on #free speech, because I think that it depends on your interpretation of what free speech means. If you allow the most intolerant voices to be as loud as they want to, youâre going to shut down voices of different opinions as well. So allowing #FreeSpeech by just allowing all speech is not actually leading to free speech, it just leads to a cesspit of hate.ââ #Mastodon founder @Gargron in an interview with Time Magazinehttps://time.com/6229230/mastodon-eugen-rochko-interview

In the coming days multiple German mobile phone providers will test the #CellBroadcast system in preparation for the national warning day. So, if you're in Germany, expect to receive an SMS-like notification, possibly even if regular notifications are disabled.đ https://www.spiegel.de/netzwelt/netzpolitik/cell-broadcast-warum-jetzt-alle-handynutzer-in-deutschland-eine-sms-bekommen-a-232cf550-0909-4fed-abec-bd1edc27d4cf
