I don’t use it, I heard it’s in testing phase and saw on Reddit that people are disappointed so for now I just use the webapp on Firefox. I dont really care about having the mail client on my desktop because I’ve always pretty much used webapps for email on desktop, even before I started my privacy jouneye and used to use Gmail and Outlook.
I just want a Linux drive so I can sync a few things between my phone and my desktop such as Keepass and Joplin, and also make file sharing easier
So with the recent Bing situation I wanted to take a second look on private search engines and sharing my conclusions of each search engine. Here is my list of private search engines:...
Yea I’ve tried it on Firefox flatpak for Linux and also Firefox on Windows, downloaded the extension from the official Firefox Addons, and nothing worked. Very strange. I probably won’t use it anyways as it seems very lacking and redirects you to Google and Microsoft for image and video searches which Ecosia doesn’t (it’s what I have been using for almost a year now). I just thought cleaning oceans was a better cause but oh well.
I have been really wanting to try out Ekoru but it just doesn’t work for me. When I search something with it it just gives me the search bar and menu at the top but it doesn’t actually show searchr results. I have tried it with VPN off, different DNS, non hardened stock Firefox, and still couldn’t get it to work. Can anyone else confirm if they can use Ekoru or not?
I use Tor every once in a while for basic web browsing just to add some regular traffic to the network and not just dark web traffic. I mainly use it for Reddit as they lock to block me because of my VPN IP but don’t block Tor IP and occasionally other stuff. I know Tor is made so that everyone looks the same but, I am not...
The new MV3 architecture reflects Google’s avowed desire to make browser extensions more performant, private, and secure. But the internet giant’s attempt to do so has been bitterly contested by makers of privacy-protecting and content-blocking extensions, who have argued that the Chocolate Factory’s new software...
Not sure if this is the best place to ask but I was wondering if different stylus will work differently on Linux as a result of drivers and if anyone has any recommendations. Thanks in advance.
It looks like a very well built app to convert web pages to lite apps. It also seems to be based on Firefox and seems to include something similar to that of Firefox Multiaccount Containers for every webapp, on top of an adblocker. Seems very neat. Just wondering if anyone knows anything about whether or not it is open source...
Hermit seems nice as well. Only thing is I did a couple of privacy tests on both apps and the one that I discovered seems to do a better job at protecting my privacy when using the websites. But I would be curious to know what the privacy implications of the apps themselves are (WebApps and Hermit)
Butthurt Linux gobblers are downvoting you even though you are correct. I have had so many instances of having to spend hours upon hours upon hours just do figure out how to do some basic shit on Linux that I can do on every operating system within a matter of 5 minutes. “But Linux is free and open source, but Linux isn’t spyware, but but Linux (insert whatever you want here”. This is not the point. Point is the average peeson probably doesn’t have the time and energy to spend hours upon hours trying to figure out how to setup DNS over TLS (when it can be setup in 2 minutes underneath Windows without ever needing to open up a terminal), why their microphone isn’t working (find out there are no supported drivers and need to boot into Windows whenever I need to use the mic for whatever online meeting), why their laptop doesn’t sleep properly (finds out it was a kernel related issue, had to wait until the next update), touch sensor not working, and etc etc etc.
No I am not going to stop using Linux people it is still my main OS for like 95% of my activities. But having to have my Windows partition there because my fucking microphone doesn’t work, NOT because I need it to run certain software, is the exact reason Linux will never be mainstream. But I guess you can keep pointing out Microsoft’s predatory actions instead of trying to fix Linux’s problems cause that’s productive aye?
How the fuck am I supposed to know that Network Manager won’t support DNS over TLS by default when every other operating system does? I’ve messed around with DNS before on multiple devices and never had any issues until now. We get it. You use Arch. Mr skillful
Fr, and I was never the one that started complaining first saying Linux is difficult. I just came here to ask for advice and then you commented that stuff like this is why you don’t feel comfortable switching to Linux yet, and then you get attacked and I get indirectly attacked by these toxic nerds saying “okay enjoy getting spied on” or “read the fucking manual” or “skill issue”. Yea this is totally productive to the Linux community yea right.
