Can you please mention the equal alternatives?

Why?

You must say “stop using chromium”.

Chromium is a vanilla browser. The deeply google integrated one is Chrome.

If everything google touches needed to be removed, what about android, youtube, blink browser engine, etc…?

Stop supporting google by using ‘chromium’? What you mean?

Thank you. I will correct it as soon as possible.

Did using signal with the old SMS feature privided any additional level of privacy or security? Means, no matter what all the SMS are unencrypted and goes through ISP right?

Which means they actually didn’t use signal at all.

They used SMS and are still continuing using SMS.

Then they ask me back, “What’s the point of stopping one threat when thousands of ways exist to track them?”

From my personal research, I found that their messaging tool of choice is not only linked to privacy and security but also some features like status, stories, and the app design. Primarily the popularity and slop.

Actually, deletion of whatsapp and instagram drastically decreased my friend circle. Now i have more time for myself. I don’t think they have a reason to communicate with me. Anyway, am not installing whatsapp anymore.

Which country number is this? 😂

Yes. At the beginning I preferred distro’s specifically with a graphical software manager. Now i force uninstall it and use terminal for anything.

😅

Stop using SMS.

Don’t use SMS. As it is unencrypted, the ISP have complete access over it.

I’m planning to write a post on this!

Wi-Fi calling still gives your carrier your IP address and location so they can route the call, so it’s not totally private.

Getting around that usually means running a pretty stripped-down setup (no SIM, full VPN, etc.), which gets pretty inconvenient.

Fair point. I updated the about page to explain what this blog is for and how I write.

It’s very hard to convince people to switch to privacy foucused platforms nowadays.

If that’s the case, then i would be more happier to get their usernames atleast. But the situation is way worse than that. They are deeply into whatsapp.

Discord not even letting me to creare an account. The OTP never get generated. And i believe that’s for good.

Many open-source developers also effectively using discord as a communication medium.

Ok. I will correct it. Thank you for the suggestion.
