Agree to that, especially for video cards and Wi-Fi. These two can be hard to deal with… If your laptop is Wi-Fi only and you don’t have a USB/Ethernet adaptor you may not be able to connect to the net at all

Yes, agree with you, especially your last comment: disable entirely IPv6

Hahaha… 😁

Buy popcorn and Walt for lawsuit…

Totally agree…

Same, Session is great because it focus on privacy. You can contact people only by knowing their public ID but you don’t know their private ID which is used by the user to decrypt the messages. As there is no central server, nothing is kept outside of your local Session instance. Pretty decent to me.

Of course… I can’t even picture myself not using a VPN, I prefer to ditch anything that prevent me to protect my privacy

Absolutely every website you visit or app you use, if they track such info of course.

Oh, very good points you mention here, definitively few red flags. As for the unusual traffic for your IP I experienced it because I’m using a VPN

Can you tell us why Qwant wasn’t a good choice for you? I heard they work hard on respecting privacy while providing good results… So I am curious about your experience

Not worse, but less repeatable. You don’t see any difference in typing, it just help reduce fingerprinting

Keyboard is absolutely a thing to be careful with. On Android mobile, use OpenBoard for example. On computer, if you use Linux, also install kloak [https://github.com/Whonix/kloak], a tool that slightly delays randomly your keystrokes to help you hide your typing pattern that can definitively identify you

It’s important to distinguish privacy, anonimity and security.

Mulch, focus on security (same as Bromite), OE Mull, focus on privacy, both can be installed from F-Droid
