On Mac I can use Orion so I don't use Firefox that much. Why Orion? 1. It supports tree style tabs (note lower case, I mean the concept, not the extension) natively. (I think you can also use TST, the Firefox extension, as Orion strive

I think this can be misunderstood in at least two ways. My most understanding reading is that you mean Telegram receives the data in plain text at their servers. That reading implies that they don't do this whole "encrypted data o

The point is, if you want to, you can keep a jailbroken device around to try to catch Telegram or Apple red handed for providing a modified binary. You can use another to run it on for daily use.

End-to-end-encrypted means without significant, unexpected breakthroughs in mathematics, no one can read it between the sender and the recipient, even if the traffic pass through FSB, NSA, Telegram, Google and Facebook headquarters and they

Unlike Signal, Telegram provides both end-to-end encrypted chats and point-to-point-encrypted chats. (But unlike Signal Telegram also haven't been caught with glaring zero days or caught sending images to anyone except the intented rec

Why do you think a country that isn't capable of properly maintaining tanks is capable of maintaining nukes? I mean, ICBMs are literally rocket science with nuclear physics on top of them. How can a country that cannot even prevent the

First, you might have overestimated the complexity of it. I tried to describe it as uncomplicated as possible without giving up the exact details of what it was, but I admit I might have failed at it. It was utterly trivial. Basically we pr
