Forking isnt a solution, unless you are committed to patching all future security vulnerabilities and adding feature updates on you own. Cryptography is complicated, designing a secure messenger is very complicated. Forking isnt a magic bullet.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Cromite a Bromite fork with ad blocking and privacy enhancementsEnglish
21·7 days agoFirefox is even more insecure as a Flatpak than Chromium. At least with Chromium using zypak it can use some Flatpak sandboxing (which is still inferior to base)

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Cromite a Bromite fork with ad blocking and privacy enhancementsEnglish
10·7 days agoProject was abandoned like multiple years ago now. Cromite is a fork by one of the contributors and is better than Bromite ever was.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Cromite a Bromite fork with ad blocking and privacy enhancementsEnglish
4·7 days agoDoesnt come with proper fingerprinting protections or flag hardening. I am not saying ungoogled Chromium is bad, just not a proper replacement for hardened chromium browsers like Cromite or Brave. Ungoogled Chromium is a drop in replacement for Chrome, so it does nearly everything possible to stick with defaults (sans any google connections)

41·7 days agoWhile I agree it would be nice, Flatpak weakens the Chromium sandbox by stopping proper per site isolation. Chromium in Flatpak relies on the zypak server in place of proper strict isolation.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Notifications from other profiles in Graphene OSEnglish
3·10 days agoGOS recommends against putting any app that you want notifications from inside the private space. That said, I did the same thing.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Block youtube's (and other website's) embeds on lemmy posts. (uBlock related)English
8·17 days agoYou could enable advanced mode I uBlock and then disable “3rd party” in the uBlock popup. Then allow list the few sites you want to see content from.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•How to keep avoiding Google when it hamstrings Freetube [Linux]English
261·1 month agoIt is source available, not open source.
Understandable. The name is a play on the Bromite, which is the dead project Cromite forked from.
Android private spaces dont share the same network namespace, meaning a VPN in the main profile wouldn’t effect anything inside the private space.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Is my adblock list pretty overkill/redundant?English
9·2 months agoIt seems alright. Your performance problems might be intentional from YouTube because it detects adblocking idk.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•EFF Statement on ICE Use of Paragon Solutions MalwareEnglish
21·2 months agoThat will be even more susceptible to malware because Linux is easier to hack than iOS or Android. Linux has a weak threat model against malicious software.

Programmer Humor@programming.dev•I got to avoid memory management for quite some timeEnglish
5·2 months agoProbably a good idea. I decided to learn Rust after using Python for a couple years. I took a semester of C++ but barely remember anything. Maybe I should write a project in C and rewrite later in Rust. I personally only learn when I get inspiration to make a program, which means I learn on the spot. I don’t think it is the best way to do things (if I knew the language better I may make better decisions), but it is the only way I can motivate myself to learn.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Tor Browser: Most Common FingerprintsEnglish
5·3 months agoYes, that is how fingerprint test sites end up working because so many privacy users will test out the most secure options. Not indicative of real worlds values for commonness of browser fingerprint.
