Thanks, (2015 comment from K-9 dev), I guess they opensourced later on.
i have one doubt, can you customize and change settings on mull or you have to use it as it is just like on tor browser ?
In Mull, you can customize settings, for example using a custom sync server, adding extensions, or changing settings in about:config
.
Most of the apps on that list i use for myself
Had to look a few of those up, Thanks for the great post and link.
You’re welcome. As always
If I want to share very large files between my devices, I use localsend instead of syncthing
Just tried LocalSend and will be using it for transferring files from my phone to my laptop. I move 100’s of pictures and videos from my game cams to my phone then to my laptop.
Thanks for the great find.
The speed should not be underestimated either. I really like this app
I’ve just tried it too, and it worked very well. Warpinator has been hit or miss whether it connects recently, so I’ll replace it with LocalSend. Thank you @swh
KDEConnect? I’ve tested localsend vs KDEC vs Warpinator. KDEC performed always faster (atleast 1.5X) in my result.
Multiple factors included, so I’m not sure though…
Glad you like it too. I am not familiar with Warpinator. I use KDEConnect for smaller files or sending something short like a pdf file or similar. I like the principle of localsend: Decentralized, OpenSource, Secure.
I don’t know how stable KDEC is when I want to send very large files. I’m talking about >2GB
thanks for this great list. edit: but even if one app is open source, once it’s in the cloud (that whole list is) then there are no benefits to the privacy app
Yes for some reason it fails for large files
Warpinator is Linux Mint’s equivalent of LocalSend, and it’s in the Arch Extra repo. There’s an unofficial Android (& Windows FWIW) port, but I’ve been finding the connection between the two quite flaky recently.
He became a Brave employee after he built the website.
You can download the code and scripts and test it yourself.
What’s that Black Sabbath song? Oh yeah, ‘Paranoid’, grow a brain!
Privacy in an online world.
A combination of if you de-google, de-apple, de-microsoft, and de-meta your online presence, you’ve already done half the work.
But privacy elitists will still frown upon you if you use a browser or search engine that wasn’t made for whistleblowers.
I’ve been to this site a few times.
What I find sketchy: Brave scores insanely high and Ungoogled scores insanely low. Research (at least my reading) shows the opposite.
What I Like: his full disclosure (brave). His nightly tests. The browsers your instincts always told you were hot garbage are hot garbage. And most of all? LibreWolf and Mullvad stand high above all browsers test after test, day after day, year after year.
It’s obviously not a “Brave is king” site that people accuse him of…but Brave as the #3-4 privacy browser is hard to accept for me…
two forks of FF are the best privacy browsers at that guy’s website though–
and even a hardened FF has RFP settings in about:config. I trust a fortified FF over any Chrome derivative.
But not by much.
I agree with this now. I never looked at it that way before. It is my work browser (only) so I value its flexibility with the mothership stripped out of it.
