I mean you’re right about the awareness of it due to ad blocking but > Nobody knows any other difference unless they are an extension developers or worked on making the Internet a …

Because so-called “trusted” apps that you do give root to have no chance of getting compromised, right?

Counter-evidence: Repos such as AUR That blast radius coupled with (non-Android) Linux's atrocious security is a far worse option

Tap to pay apps, if the developer is trustworthy or if it’s from your bank, are significantly more secure than even carrying a physical card around as your payment is now locked be…

99.9% of people would not intentionally enable ads even if they liked the content this is an insanely unrealistic option.

More like the quality ones get their content ripped and viewed for free with tools like archive.is or people just posting the full text in comments on this forum even. Subs only ar…

> But no one said we have to copy that flawed concept. macOS and Linux already have a good solution, requiring your full unlock password in a privileged dialog to authorize changes…

You’re right, they just fall for installing updates or CLI tools which install compromised dependencies and run wild on a rooted system before getting caught 24 hours later.

You are free to make your own build of GrapheneOS with root access and have extremely reduced security. Just don’t expect support on the forums and waste everyone’s time when somet…

All of which have beyond horrific security. GrapheneOS is the only acceptable alternative from mainstream Android.

It's not really about supply chain security it's about the hardware itself. PC manufacturers in general just can't keep up since they don't have full control/integration over the h…

Conversely, a Linux system with no verified boot can be easily tampered with without the user detecting it by people lower than the government such as casual hackers. So in a world…

This is incorrect macOS is fundamentally more secure than desktop Linux operating systems and it isn't particularly close. No amount of Linux hardening will get a system even close…

The person you replied to is right, the "security" of Linux might as well be nonexistent compared to macOS and especially iOS/Android. Even the developers of Secureblue ( https://s…

None exist, it's literally all slop.

How beneficial is this versus just being theater? The example used in this is the government accessing the reporters laptop via biometrics. But in this case, and especially under t…

If you're in a situation where this is a pressing issue, it's not a good solution as it's trivial to detect if it's a fake environment, especially if they get suspicious and run ex…

Well that's subjective. But Proton's response to that is also valid imo (which is also subjective): https://www.reddit.com/r/privacy/comments/1nd07w0/comment/nd...

I'm not sure what the OP does, but at least for me I find myself chained to Google Voice for SMS 2FA use because it's basically the only phone number provider that cannot be exploi…

"A plane crashed? See! FAA regulations are useless and the agency needs to be disbanded."

Stripe does this to me and it's starting to get annoying. They offer an unsubscribe option to remove you from current mailing lists but perpetually have you auto added to new maili…

It was more of a security related change. MV3 overall objectively is far better for browser security than MV2. MV2 was essentially giving extensions a full on free RCE pathway. MV3…
