Our country is founded on “terrorism”. Ask the British.

It won’t directly affect them because they will not be “Google Certified” devices.

It’s not negligible

I don’t like GitHub either but the large userbase ensures increased attention, which means more adoption, which means more contributors.

Privacy needs to be the default in order to be recommended, in my opinion.

That’s a fair clarification but hardly meaningful, and arguably much worse.

Most of the security is in the kernel so you can make sure you have the latest kernel. Also secureblue is a security focused distro that makes use of GrapeneOS’s hardened malloc so that’s the most secure one that I’m aware of.

In the browser or the app

Probably mostly dead, honestly

Are you logged into YouTube?

Is YouTube opened in the browser or the app?

Need more details. What device?

Brave also offers a few additional, very valuable things:

• the only app that reflects fingerprinting protection in PrivacyBadger, in my experience
• works on most webpages
• selective use of first-party cookies, per site.

You haven’t provided any evidence. Only an anecdote.

Okay so you don’t have any evidence.

Even if they are, like I mentioned elsewhere, just get a VoIP number.

Are they?

Using GOS profiles is extremely tedious. Using the work profile is stupid simple and easy. That’s what I use.

You haven’t provided any evidence that it’s “blocked” or that there is any “denial of service”. As far as I can tell, the user has network issues.

These are 2 unrelated conversations. If you want to have either one of them, we can do that, but you can’t use one to argue the other. You can’t argue that you can’t sign up for Signal because the service isn’t private. That’s simply inaccurate.
