Signal cannot be even compared to Telegram. they are different. Telegram is Discord+Messenger, but on steroids.

It depends on how he got access to it. By exploiting the OS, or because it didnt use the permission prompts correctly or it was misleading me.

Does ArsTechnica not know the difference between privacy and security? Apple devices are not exactly known for security. They have had horrible security bugs. Remember the root access without a password thing? Or the sign in to anybody&#x27

Which is why I recommended it as an alternative to Messenger.

He is switching from messenger. It's not exactly leading the way in privacy. Signal is not alternative to Messenger. Signal is an alternative to whatsapp.

Why don't you be the first one? https://telegram.org Once you start using it, you will never go back. It's awesome compared to Skype and messenger.

Telegram is much better than Messenger. Why don't you use it? Plus there are ton's of more features. Like so many, its hard to keep up. It's ad free and open source.

I have been using Teams since 3 weeks and it is such a confusing mess of stuff and menus that I still don't know how non-techy people find their way around it. Their are submenus in chats, and chats in submenus. Emails of all participa

They send out their IP? IP address in not unique. IP is not PII, unless combined with other info which the companies said it doesnt do?

by ffpip 6y ago
IP address is PII only when combined with things like name and address. Not by itself.

He got tired of kids complaining of issues without contributing code. Just filter list issues, which are not really his fault but the list maintainers.

Google fixed this years ago by loading (proxy) all images through Google servers. So only time of opening is revealed. Not your location. You can turn off image loading in Gmail. It's hidden in the settings. You can load it per email i

You would be surprised to know that every email from a company has pixel trackers. Each image loaded with Sendgrid, etc is a unique URL that logs everything. And no they do not viotate GDPR. Your IP address is not revealed when using Gmail,

In my experience uMatrix and uBO work better in Firefox compared to Chromium. You don't have to completely reload the whole page to see what's blocked or hidden. They can also block the sneakiest trackers that hide behind other do

It still works. Continue using it till Mozilla shuts down or the extension permission model changes.

Are there any issues with uMatrix that you are looking for alternatives? Only the repo has been archived. The extension is perfect. Just think you haven't seen this post and continue to use it.

It's better that way. Every ad company releases a new adblocker with the name being a derivative of uBlock. Let him keep the name uMatrix.

Thank you Gorhill. For such great resources. Your extensions are the only reason I use FF on mobile and desktop. uMatrix helped me realize how much of 3rd party resources are crap. Actual crap. Completely unnecessary. It also helped me get
