You want Chrome 114.0.5735.106 or later on Mac and Linux, and 114.0.5735.110 or later on Windows....

Has anyone here tried the Berty Messenger app? It's a cross-platform encrypted messenger with the ability to communicate over Bluetooth. I'm really impressed with how capable it is already, but wouldn't rely on it for anything too sensitive in it's early state. To me, it looks like a great way to send offline messages in the...

Can't count the number of times a privacy related youtuber was recommending questionable tools due to sponsorships.

Same goes for old email addresses that you do not use anymore but are still linked to other accounts. This is a reminder to check...

I vaguely remember reading something about leaking your private network setup if you used Let's Encrypt to generate your certificates....

Kickstarting this community; let's discuss our favorite apps on Android & iOS.

I saw a post on r/privacy from the founder, and it caught my attention. What do you guys think of it?

I've seen the post saying that the lead developer is stepping down, I've seen his accusations of abuse. I've seen enormous write-ups which make questionable claims about how he's the devil himself. I've seen a lot of rumour and hearsay, and now I've got no idea what to think....

For a while now I've been quite happy running LibreWolf, with Bitwarden and some other privacy extensions. I've also switched over from Google to Kagi as a search engine; doesn't keep me anonymous, but I do love not being the product for once.
