notahuman this is wrong since attempts to crack profiles can be done independently.

I could be fine with Firefox showing ads based on generic tracking that is non-invasive.

The problem is that if there's any server-side tracking that could be modified, I don't get to confirm that server-side code and there could be a demand made by the government to modify the server code.

So as an example, if the browser monitors what websites I go to, assigns a category to them on the server such as "technology" and "golfing," and then shows ads, I don't mind that. But if the government then demands that all ping times are recorded and Mozilla retain all site history in secret, that is not something I want. Also, if the government requires Mozilla to make these changes, they woukdn't be able to tell is.

It's very hard to trust a privacy-based US company because any time you rely on the servers as being private, you are placing trust in them not being required to be compromised.

Because Mull is just a fork on Firefox with telemetry removed, you don't have to have concerns with Mull.

Firefox is a good browser so if your threat model does not include the government (no illegal activity, not a minority group that could be persecuted such as LGBT or minority religious group or protester with minority that could become persecuted, no expected illegal activities in the future, no.one within the government upset with you and no anticipation of that happening and mostly moderate views or slightly right or left of center) then please use Firefox since they need the money since that judge's disasterous anticompetitive decision that Google is a monopoly because it subsidizes Mozilla by paying for it to be the default search, resulting in the possible destruction of Mozilla and the only non-Chromium based browser that holds back Google controlling all web standards and making them all pro-tracking.

Mull also has built in default hardening. It's a good browser.

Callahan42 From everything I have seen it's not possible and a big limitation.

So if you use a number lock in 1 profile and a word password in profile 2 and a corrupt officer threatens to beat the heck out of you unless you unlock, if you are at a password screen with the keyboard and no numbers showing and say the duress password is 9050, the corrupt officer may go "this makes no sense," and if you at a number password screen and say the password is "cumquat all over my kiwi" then the corrupt officer may say "this makes no sense."

However, if you are at the keyboard screen and you say that the secret password is "cumquat all over my kiwi" and that's the duress password, and the corrupt officer enters it, then your data is irretreivably destroyed. (You may also get beaten, but in a really bad situation that may be the better option.)

Sbpr just get Mull and add Ublock

Firefox doesn't have an about:config and Mull does. Firefox is adding new questionable features that may be fine or may be bad for privacy, let others be beta testers of that, stick with Mull

other8026 This makes no sense.

The government could have demanded google create a backdoor in the hardware and issued a gag order.

Such a backdoor would be useful. Google Play collects and sends data when a user is in the Internet. iIf a user goes into airplane mode the government couldn't track a user easily. If there's a hardware backdoor, they could be able to send a ping to the device to access info about the device even in that mode. There are use cases for it, so why wouldn't the government request? To say it's implausible just seems naive as to how these gag orders work.

I would like a to do list that works well in Graphene. Any opinions on best options?

Citizen22 I know people get hacked sometimes and sometimes it's done in a gaslighting way. I've been hacked before, in boring ways and in ways that woukd seem crazy (like filenames changed slightly with whiever it was knowing id notice)

Would we know if there were one?

ignoramous I think many users who want to use Rethink DNS are power users.

You could always do an "Expert Mode" like ublock if you wanted.

A lot of times I wish I could route everything through Orbot or Invizible, but some things won't work as a result. It's possible to use Orbot and FoxProxy in Firefox on top of it, but it means having a socks that will easily connect and a lot of times socks cost money, plus some Apps won't work with that configuration. I also would prefer to not have my ISP have a record of my being a Tor user. Many people use VPNs for many things. Tor puts me into a different pool of users.

Rethink is already an incredible App and everyone is really impressed by it and I could be the only one who wants this. A feature like this would mean a lot of coding and be hard to do so I'm just glad Rethink exists!

Although the poster above said Rethink is complicated, the only reason I don't use it is that much is the proxy doesn't offer the level of control I wanted. If I could Daisy chain VPNs then I would just have Rethink be something that analyzes or blocks packets prior to getting sent or coming in. But the options for proxy inside the App still mean everything is either coming out of 1 IP and I don't want that because so many servers and data centers are owned by big tech and able to do things like calculate ping time to guess which user is which.

dot_______166 why would you? adding Google Restore probably means that google has access to all that. putting it in your new device gives google so much access to identifiers even if it works. can't you use a USB? do you not mind google?

AlphaElwedritsch I don't understand what this means
