I think they are too big for that. They are more powerful than many nation states.

I see what you're saying, but contrary to Twitter, Brave works very well and has very good security and privacy features. In fact it significantly improves upon Chromium which it is built on top of. It also offers massive improvements over Chrome in the privacy department. So whether he agrees with you that guys can become girls or vice versa, or whether he believes the same narrative that you do regarding corona is simply irrelevant. If you have found a new security or privacy flaw, I would love to hear about it. But pushing your irrelevant opinions on others who are not interested, is unpleasant for us, and a waste of time for you.

Google controls way too much. People need to stop using their products. Many people complaining right now are still using Google stuff. If everyone concerned stop using Google stuff, that would cause them to reconsider very quickly.

Yeah, I was thinking of browser PM with auto signin. But I'm dropping all that now. I wonder why these privacy and security focused browsers like Brave include options like this if they are bad for users.

This is what I was doing before I switched to cookies for convenience. I will be going back to this now.

Thanks, I will be deleting all cookies and using my desktop keepassxc.

Thanks for your response. Points 1 and 2 would be the same if I used an in browser password manager. I backup all passwords on my desktop manager and my laptop is pretty hard to break into. For point 3, do 1st party cookies track people? I thought they were mostly benign and for site settings.

Stop with the ad hominem attacks. We are interested in the tech specs and not your personal opinions of what is "right" and "wrong." Stick to the point, which is privacy and the tech that goes with it.

keepassxc for desktop and for Android: FreeOTP+ (the plus is important)

That was really quite funny (and true).

Also there’s no reason for using a VPN as the VPN provider will see the exact same thing as your ISP.

This is not true for Tor Browser.

And for regular VPN's that depends on how hostile your ISP or government is. It may be much better to let some company in a far away country who don't care about what you're doing to see your stuff.

Glad you made the move. It is contradictory for any privacy focused community to be hosted on Reddit with all the spying and censorship that goes on there. People just have to get up and leave. Same with Google, facebook, etc. Stop whining and move is what I say.
