It’s developed by singular person as you read in their FAQ: “Donut Browser is built by one person with the goal of making the internet a little more private. Paid plans are how commercial users support the project and keep it sustainable.”

Which is concerning.

It also promotes illegal practices as it can be seen here: https://donutbrowser.com/use-cases/automation/

I wouldn’t recommend it.

Depends on your provider.

Das ist wahr, allerdings ist die DSGVO EU-weit verbindlich. Und wenn im Fall von Heise im Vergleich zu DerStandard.at kein Unterschied besteht, die Entscheidung aber anders ausfällt, haben wir einen Konflikt bei der Interpretation, und es wäre dann an eines der höheren Gerichte, dies zu entscheiden, z. B. dem EuGH.

Mistral, Kagi, DuckDuckGo, Brave Leo and probably more let you all use AI services without a Google account.

Android works perfectly fine without a Google account, even Stock Android. Only thing you’ve to take into account is that you won’t be able to use the Play Store properly (and “Find my device” if you use it).

Personal attacks are used by people who lack valid arguments; therefore, I will block you to protect my psychological well-being.

Anyone interested in discussing actual Signal flaws, like the unecessary phone number requirement is free to reply and do so.

I read the article in the past, and it is still as flawed as it used to be. You’re quite extremist without much legitimate reason. Signal is and will likely stay for the foreseeable time one of the most secure and private messengers.

Everyone who uses signal and supports it, is falling for this pitch.

No, because it does not reflect the truth. You’ve to see the full picture.

1. Regarding Google Maps, you might wanna try “Here WeGo” which is by a company in the Netherlands and more privacy friendly than Google.
2. If your primary goal is security and privacy, GrapheneOS is your best choice. LineageOS is good, if your device does not support GOS; I have no experience with /e/OS in terms of usage.
3. On Google Pixels it is possible through official methods to install Stock OS again, same for Fairphone. I don’t know about other devices.
4. Alternative Android Distributions like GOS, LOS and /e/OS won’t be affected, except if you install Google Play Services (and related), though GrapheneOS will likely limit it with their sandboxed method if you do so.

So that I understand you right, you’re looking to replace your FP3 with a newer model that comes with /e/OS?

I spoke to one of their team members and they said: “Regarding our SPL (“Security Patch Level”), typically our builds are made mid-to-end-of-the-month to include the newest SPL updates that trickle in from upstream (sometimes our updates are delayed to make sure they are integrated before we build). You should see the newest update made just at Christmas time includes the December SPL patches which weren’t available when we made the earlier monthly builds.”

I would recommend replacing Openboard with Heliboard, since Openboard isn’t actively maintained, while Heliboard is a fork of it and in active development.

Do not use CalyxOS at the moment. It lacks importmant Android security updates. I would recommend LineageOS or IodéOS (which is slightly more secure due lockable bootloader, etc.). I feel difficult about /e/OS since they have done questionable things.

DivestOS is dead and won’t come back.

That would be a violation of EU law. You cannot change such agreements without notice.

Thanks for sharing, awareness matters.
