I upvoted your comment, but I would like to note that I strongly disagree with the “Unlike Signal, (…)” part.

Why do you share a third-party article instead of linking the original blog post by DeltaChat themselve?

I seriously wonder: what makes it so hard to fully support IPv6?

I’m aware that a link is attached which bypasses this restriction, but if I have to break the law to read the article or alternatively hand over my personal data, then I think it shouldn’t have been shared here in the first place.

Archive.is and its variations sadly also exploited their users to DDoS another website and falsified data; they also refused to comply with data protection regulation in the past, and remove personal data from their websites. Wikipedia banned the service entirely and removed all references.

Either remove it entirely or keep it as before, not this alogical confusing system. /srs

The fight in an constantly evolving space cannot be lost, see what happend with the web browsers from back then.

Titanium is probably inferior compared to Vanadium, as it likely lacks the OS integration. The team recommends against using Vanadium outside of GrapheneOS for this reason.

While Vanadium might be security-wise superior, Brave has significantly better anti-fingerprinting measures and robust content filtering (blocking advertising, tracking scripts, etc.). It’s also available across devices with client-side encrypted synchronisation, so for many people it’s the better choice.

Claims around ’no-logs’ audits can be misleading, or at best ambiguous to customers. Audits are a snapshot in time: any VPN service receiving a ’no-logs’ stamp from independent evaluators can update its systems and start collecting sensitive data the following day. We have also seen some VPN providers cite such audits as a marketing tool that creates a false sense of security. For these reasons, we will not commission further no-logs audits.

Could you specify what you’re trying to do?

Normal LineageOS has integrated MicroG support, you can install it via the official MicroG F-Droid repository.

I can tell you that LineageOS is definitely good when it comes to security and data protection practices, but GrapheneOS is miles ahead by comparison due to its security preview releases and extensive hardening; LineageOS only applies monthly security patches once they’re released, and it makes good efforts to fix security vulnerabilities itself, like the VPN leak over QUIC, which Google refused to fix.

I don’t know much about /e/OS, but I personally wouldn’t recommend it if it doesn’t have anything you need. I don’t know of any security or data protection benefits it would offer over normal LineageOS. IodéOS, another LOS fork, does have some benefits, but it’s often far behind LineageOS when it comes to monthly security patches, which is concerning. I would therefore recommend sticking with LOS.

The title is misleading; among other making these forms of age verification global would be in violation of current EU law according to the EDPB.

GrapheneOS and LineageOS are personally my favourite Android distributions.

“Custom ROM” is technically a false term for them, and LineageOS, PrivacyGuides and other institutions use the term “Android distributions” instead.

Their website seem very sketchy: https://www.gboxlab.com/

And the App has A LOT of critical permissions: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/6fcbaafbcb033b9e0cc03a5d6acaa54ca6b6cb06d16ce3c2d0657d7addfba257/details

Projects like GrapheneOS and LineageOS strongly discourage rooting your device.

From my understanding rooting strongly reduces the security of the OS as it allows for exploits and privilege execution which would otherwise not have been possibly.

Rooting is also detectable by some apps, which will therefore block you from using them.

Strict Google Play Integrity can AFAIK not be spoofed with root on your device from my understanding.
