@lukas
Vielen Dank für die klasse Liste.
Für Kalender und Kontakte nutze ich #baikal.
Ich werfe da auch #joplin, #bitwarden bzw. Vaultwarden mit ins Rennen.
Und heute fast selbstverständlich - #pihole oder #adguard.
If website owners agree to display ads which they have no control over and which could be promoting the exact opposite of their values, doesn't that mean that they care about $$ more than the products/causes the ads are promoting?
Or do the ad platforms let content creators choose what ad topics and keywords to disallow?
YouTube being aggressive against ad blockers is making me want to never watch another ad from them again, I'm going over and above to make sure ads don't appear on any device that uses YouTube. They are motivating me to invest in this weird war they are fighting.
@michaelgraaf@selzero@andycarolan The aggressiveness seems to only be in Chrome. Work makes me use Chrome and I get that ad blocker message, but in Firefox (on the same machine) I don't., and I don't see ads. I have #pihole on the network and use #ghostery and #adguard in both browsers.
Roughly 2 weeks ago Google patched a critical vulnerability, CVE-2023-4863, that was being exploited in the wild. The broad impact of the root cause of the vuln and the fact that it will have a long tail of unpatched software has been poorly communicated. You can read more in @dangoodin 's excellent article on Ars Technica.
As pointed out in the article above, Electron is based on Chromium and is impacted. Electron is bundled in a ton of apps that people might overlook.
I threw together the following shell command to help macOS audit which versions of Electron apps are installed.
find /Applications -type f -name "*Electron Framework*" -exec <br></br> sh -c "echo "{}" && strings "{}" | grep '^Chrome/[0-9.]* Electron/[0-9]' | head -n1 && echo " ;<br></br>
When run, you should see something similar to the following:
/Applications/Visual Studio Code.app/Contents/Frameworks/Electron Framework.framework/Versions/A/Electron Framework<br></br>Chrome/114.0.5735.289 Electron/25.8.1<br></br><br></br>/Applications/Slack.app/Contents/Frameworks/Electron Framework.framework/Versions/A/Electron Framework<br></br>Chrome/116.0.5845.188 Electron/26.2.1<br></br>
Last week i used Vivaldi exclusively on Windows,Linux and iPhone and this week spent back on Brave and while i like their (Braves) privacy features and believe they offer more in this regard than Vivaldi their crypto focus is a big annoyance of mine.
So today went back to Vivaldi and one major annoyance really is how adress url autocomplete works so the upcoming 6.2 update should adress that and can´t come soon enough.
And no reader view on iPhone yet in Beta. Submitted a FR for it through TF feedback but im assuming it will come at some point. Oh, and sync of search engines does not work but hopefully it is also being worked on.
But Vivaldi on iPhone is shaping up quite nicely
And secondly why is there no merch shop in EU? 😅 I´d be happy to support with a purchase. But shipping and tax to get anything into Sweden from USA is a bit too much for me. Your HQ is next door (country wise) so not having shipping within EU is a bummer.
Safari with Adguard Premium on IOS (still) work fine with blocking YouTube ads.
I was hoping I could use Safari to add YT to my home screen as a shortcut but Google being Google obviously doesn’t allow that. What was I even thinking trying.. 🤣
Gerade Werbung für neue #Mercedes E-Klasse mit großem Bildschirm in Fahrerkonsole für Videokonferenzen, mobiles Arbeiten und Streaming von Spielfilmen beim Fahren.
@christianschwaegerl Bildübertragung ist während der Fahrt deaktiviert, um eine Ablenkung zu vermeiden. Aber rein aus #Privacy-Gründen finde ich das ganze super gruselig.
So, yeah, I'm still on #Windows. And I think I will stay. I unchecked any telemetry that I could. I use #Brave, with extensions. I use #Adguard#VPN I use #Signal with family. I do what I can for #privacy and #security
I must say that Windows as a desktop is full of little things that make life easier. I even like it more than MacOS. Linux is great, but I often felt that GNOME or any other desktop was holding with gaffer tape. No tomatoes please. 🍅😎
Mais :nko_angry: comment ça peut fonctionne un coup et l'autre pas ...
Sur le OnePlus 6T (Android 11) :
Quand je passe par Rethink DNS (avec mon DNS) j'ai aucun accès a mes mails (Proton, Infomaniak, Free), Matrix mais pas de soucis pour me connecter a Iceshrimp ou Conversatin
Quand je passe le DNS direct dans la config Wi-Fi, j'ai les mail, Matrix, mais impossible de me connecter a mon instance Iceshrimp (Web ou app), Fdroid arrive pas joindre les serveurs.
Y a que Conversation qui fonction dans les deux cas en fait ...
So annoyed by those "cookies consent" pop ups! 😡
My #AdGuard doesn't seem to block them.
My #NextDNS either.
Nor #Mullvad .
What's the best approach here? Create a custom rule every time in AdGuard? Report it somewhere (e.g. one of NextDNS lists)? "Accept all" hoping that my protections will shield me from all theses trackers?
Can I block the operation of an #Aternity browser extension by using a custom filter on #AdGuard on my router? Or perhaps using a @protonmail VPN config on my router?
I really don’t like my big bad business daddy digging into my personal health #data, communications, etc., & I don’t have admin rights on my PC to disable/remove it.
Pas de problème de connexion ce matin.
J'utilise #Mozilla#FirefoxESR v115.3.1 x64 avec #Adguard & #LanguageTool comme extensions
Il y a 5 scripts bloqués par Adguard au niveau de #Brevo.
»Die umfassende Überwachungsmaschinerie, die für digitale Werbung entwickelt wurde, ermöglicht nun direkt die Massenüberwachung durch den Staat« [1] Zitat von @wchr.
Daher: Ein Tracking- und Werbeblocker gehört auf jedem Smartphone/PC/Netzwerk zur Grundausstattung! [2] 👇
I appreciate wanting to measure engagement, but I’m pretty fed up with links in newsletters being email tracking links with redirects. I’d say 80% of links I would otherwise find useful, are now utterly useless, unless I agree to being tracked. Which I do not.
@haruki_zaemon I haven’t fully converted to @protonmail but I do use their #VPN religiously with the #NetShield on, and that supposedly blocks a lot of email trackers. I also use #AdGuard on my home router, and #uBlockOrgin & #PrivacyBadger in #Firefox private mode. If they’re getting my info they’re gonna have to work for it.
I knew #Plex sends a lot of analytics from me to their servers, but I was not expecting analytics.plex.tv to be number one in the list of blocked requests.
Another surprise was 287 (for now) requests blocked to logs.netfix.com. Why it's a surprise? We are not using #Netflix. I have it pre-installed on my TV but not even logged in there. That's some crazy shit.
