Is Mozilla VPN as private as Mullvad? (sh.itjust.works)
 

I found that Mozilla VPN uses Mullvad servers and I thought it may be a good way to use Mullvad while supporting Mozilla. Then after further research I found that Mozilla bought an ad firm for 'privacy-centric-advertising' and that sounded sus to me. Is it reasonable to suspect that Mozilla VPN may not be as private as Mullvad VPN?

Not sure if you still can make one with a made-up name and dob.

Meta knows who exists and who doesn't in my experience.

Let us know if you succeeded.

If you decide to use Google Messages on an Android custom OS, set up Contacts Scopes (if you can) or else it it will have access to all of them around the time you first open the app.

Ok thanks. Are flatpaks better for isolation than snaps? I see many people avoid snaps.

Is Google Chrome sandboxed by default on Linux? (sh.itjust.works)
 

I already know that it's spyware but in the case that I need to use it for work and school on my Linux laptop, do I need to worry about configuring something so that it won't have access to my whole system like it does on Windows? I'm on ZorinOS/Ubuntu. Thanks in advance

It did that to me also. As soon as i tapped Agree, i saw that it had more permissions enabled.

If I was installing it again, I'd try turning off network access before tapping Agree but I'm not sure if this would work.

edit On GrapheneOS you can use scopes and decide which contacts it has access to.

They all have iPhones and Google Android. Since all my calls and text messages are monitored on their phones, am I causing any additional harm to myself by using Google Messages on GrapheneOS? That way I could at least use RCS messaging.

Thoughts on the Brax 3 phone? (sh.itjust.works)
 

Supposedly, he sells out of his phones but I haven't seen any review or unboxing videos for the Brax 3. I know that you can ask for iodeOS or Ubuntu touch.

What will "Sign In With Google" do? (sh.itjust.works)
 

If I created a Udemy account with my Gmail, then what's the difference between signing in with email and signing in with Google? Thanks in advance.
