chromium-web-store VS privacytools.io

Ungoogled Chromium (Mac & Linux), much more performant than Firefox; use Chromium Web Store to maintain extensions (ungoogled means ungoogled, no normal Chrome Web Store), and xBrowserSync for bookmarks. I really wish I could just use Safari on Mac though, all I want is bookmark sync (and more/better extensions, but bookmark sync).

And if you want to use extensions from the Web Store: https://github.com/NeverDecaf/chromium-web-store

ungoogled-chromium with chromium-web-store

Are there any chromium browsers on Android with addons? I'm not aware of any, so I primarily use Iceraven. On desktop I do have chromium with some addons, but the safest source is the Google web store. If you're using fully ungoogled chromium then you'll first need a custom extension to get access to the web store. You can get that here: https://github.com/NeverDecaf/chromium-web-store

Install some of these extensions using by manually going through the Chromium web store (from github): uBlock Origin Privacy Badger by EFF Trace - Online Tracking Protection Fast Forward Disconnect Decentraleyes Smart referer (link, and I believe it is firefox only?)

If you have to use it anyway, atleast use some popular open source tools like this. https://github.com/NeverDecaf/chromium-web-store or use this guide https://avoidthehack.com/manually-install-extensions-ungoogled-chromium.

there's an extension for Ungoogled which is used to auto update extensions called "Chromium webstore" on github here.

as an alternative to the already mentioned options there is also ungoogled-chromium on flathub. Flatpak should already be preinstalled on Fedora (was there for me on 36 fresh install). Note that you will need to sideload chromium-web-store to get access to the Chrome extensions store. There is also a workaround for dark mode in the readme on the github repo for the flatpak.

FYI, Privacy Guides is a shitshow. It was formerly privacytools.io[1], and in 2019, the creator[2] of privacytools.io stopped contributing[3] and a new contributor[4] immediately focused on donations[5], became the admin[6] and took control[7] of most assets, including donations but excluding the domain and Twitter account[8]. In 2021, the creator of privacytools.io launched a new privacytools.io[9] and added affiliate links[10], and the Privacy Guides team shut down r/privacytoolsIO rather than return it[11] to the creator. Like I said, a shitshow.

Yes, we know you're still mad we won't add Threema. It was thoroughly discussed in our old organization.

en 2019: Signal has copious privacy issues making it unfit for privacytools.io endorsement.

Signal is just another walled garden and has a lot of other problems too: https://github.com/privacytools/privacytools.io/issues/779

Never heard of it. Fastmail apparently never made it on to the privacytools.io list for its geographical location. See here for some other recommendations. There are also malifence and posteo. I use posteo and mailbox.org. The main two weird things about posteo is that there is no spam folder (detected spam is rejected with no option to change this), and you can't use a custom domain (because they don't want to have any information on you/your name). Mailbox.org can optionally reject spam and lets you use your custom domain. I like it a lot so far.

Worth noting the "admins" of that site wrote the content for it, check for yourself https://github.com/privacytools/privacytools.io/commits/master BurungHantu hadn't written anything really since 2016.
