    I mean tbf they have Brave as their 9th suggestion (out of 10). I would prefer that they just didn’t have it but yeah.

    They’ve also removed the Gnoppix stuff, which is a bit weird. But mega ick either way.

    A bit of a shame since I bought a year sub after switching away from Proton last year due to the ceo mask slipping

      I like how they recommend Zen in their Firefox forks list despite the creator/main contributor seemingly having little understanding of security. The UI is nice though I guess.

      Maybe I’ll just use mailbox.org or encrypt my emails with addy.io at this point :|

        Selfhosting for you and a few other people is the way of the future, for everything.

          It’s very much not. There are plenty of people who do not only not have the knowledge (and the time, interest or even ability to learn) to self-host anything, but who also don’t know anyone who does. That’s probably a majority of people, actually. We need privacy-respecting, open alternatives that function as drop-in replacements and that are just as intuitive and easy to use as corporate offerings. Otherwise the future is corporate shit.

            So you mean like lemmy… where a lot of people selfhost instances for themselves and a few to many other people?

              I’d argue that Lemmy and the wider fediverse aren’t simple and effortless enough as they are right now. There’s a reason that Bluesky took off when Mastodon didn’t.
