Well I could do a key macro, for instance make CMD L do CMD L then right arrow.

No way in hell would Proton make a Chromium-based browser, the only way that would not be hypocritical is if they fully open sourced it (you could compile it yourself), and maintained their own fork completely devoid of Google tracking and telemetry.

Right now I don’t think Proton would do much better than existing options. There are browsers on different ends of the privacy to convenience spectrum (and these are all Gecko based):

• Firefox: decent privacy by default without changing any settings
• Librewolf: Firefox but with hardened settings for privacy
• Mullvad Browser: Almost the same as Tor but not on the Tor network, which is admittedly slow
• Tor: Uses the Tor Network and by default very hardened for Privacy but makes lots of convenience and QoL tradeoffs, including letterboxing to common browser resolutions.

Wow its that bad?

The only reason Mozilla still exists is because Google needs them to so Chrome can’t be a complete monopoly.

Yep this is exactly what I meant. Maybe I should’ve made that clear.

I installed the app from FDroid and it does in fact have on-device blocklists.

I did a search and found this comment, https://reddit.com/r/rethinkdns/comments/1f7ydjo/git_vs_fdroid_google_play_app_version/

After v055b, we hit numerous bugs (and unbelievably difficult ones) in our WireGuard integration. Released v055c and subsequent versions to fix the most annoying bugs among them.

We paused Play Store builds at v055e because each new version since has had its own glaringly annoying bugs (that were of course fixed in the subsequent versions). Why? Play Store brings in the most number of Rethink users (per our estimate), and we decided to halt publishing there until we can figure out how to stablize Rethink’s feature-set affected by WireGuard.

Pausing roll-out like this is a one-off.

Typically, you can expect all flavours (GitHub / Website / Play Store & F-Droid) to be at the same version.

If you’re feeling particularly adventurous: You can temporairly seamlessly update (without having to reinstall) to the GitHub / Website version if you’re currently using Rethink installed from the Play Store. And then later, when Play Store catches up, update from Play Store again.

I’m actually really glad u showed me this, MUCH more convenient than using adb!

That seems to only be available for Android.

No I did end up changing my studentaid email to an SL alias, though I might wanna change it back if it keeps having issues. The issue is that icloud bounced the email, and SimpleLogin itself gave me an email each time one got bounced, with to go to simplelogin.com and see the bounced email. This is the title for each one

An email sent to your alias redacted@simplelogin.com from donotreply@studentaid.gov was bounced by your mailbox redacted@icloud.com

Can this app work without a server, like just log my location on-device?

I want an app that can track it automatically, and without having to open it to do so, Google maps on iOS does so. You can allow apps to always access your location to do so.

I guess there are still users for it.

Personally I moved on from it 4 years ago since I was using it for bookmarking and raindrop.io is designed for that and much better, though I’ve been planning on switching to something self-hosted.

I think Omnivore is a much better read it later app now.

No I used a different username on the site

How does it work though, does it use tracker lists like uBlock origin does?

I’d definitely wanna block embedded trackers though

I’m long past that, I’ve gotten LOTS of downvotes from cross-posting to too many Firefox communities, because they show up in the feed multiple times for users I think.

Yeah personally I set the tab height in my userChrome file

But couldn’t the JS runtime track which objects and variables interact with such information, so if they make any HTTP requests with the info after getting it and maybe processing it then it could be rejected?

Would u know how I could randomize (constantly change) my fingerprint?

Firefox changes the capacity dynamically, I set browser.cache.disk.capacity to false in about:config and browser.cache.disk.capacity to 1024000 (the storage amount in MBs)
