snapdrop VS Frontpage

rather worried that it's going to go the same fate as [Sharedrop](https://github.com/ShareDropio/sharedrop) and [Snapdrop](https://github.com/SnapDrop/snapdrop) where they recently got taken over by LimeWire the crypto/AI company.

If the constraint is that you don't want to install any software, there are a bunch of these web based AirDrop clones, besides the ones mentioned here are two more:

https://pairdrop.net/

https://snapdrop.net/

I've tried PairDrop, it works well.

I love Snapdrop [0] for that use case, since it doesn't require downloading/installing an app.

[0] https://snapdrop.net/

Snapdrop is very easy to use but does not work with a VPN, nor does it support infinite file size and WebRTC relaying.

> My fave is https://snapdrop.net

it's so funny how everyone have a favorite. They all use standardized hacks on top of hacks, just because ISP do not want to let you serve content and will fight for NAT, which is their only line of defense from everyone else messing with their precious IGMP multicast hacks so they can subsidize their TV business on your internet bill. it's all so funny.

but the best joke is how microsoft and apple both tried to "make things work" in the late 90s (?) with their special zero-conf-by-other-names trainwreak of network protocols.

There's no end in sight.

I really like the website https://tosdr.org to find out a privacy grade for sites and apps. Is there anything similar that tells you how to change settings for these various services to improve privacy but minimally limit functionality, or at least tells you what functionality will be limited with the setup?

Through the Fast Forward program, we give free services and support to open source projects and the nonprofits that support them. We support many of the world’s top programming languages (like Python, Rust, Ruby, and the wonderful Scratch), foundational technologies (cURL, the Linux kernel, Kubernetes, OpenStreetMap), and projects that make the internet better and more fun for everyone (Inkscape, Mastodon, Electronic Frontier Foundation, Terms of Service; Didn’t Read).

Terms of service are generally pretty shitty, yes. But this is egregiously shitty.

https://tosdr.org/ is a good site to compare. Any service over Grade E (Spotify, Facebook, the usual suspects) is (very likely to be) less bad. DeviantArt for example is a D, and doesn't include waiving your moral rights among some of the other overreach.

Some service terms are actually quite good (DuckDuckGo, Mullvad, off the top of my head). Though these aren't content sharing platforms so it's not really as fair of a comparison.

This is super useful https://tosdr.org/

https://tosdr.org is good for that, why don't Mozilla just contribute to an existing project

I can't give you a complete guide here, but I recommend you go to privacy subreddits or watch relevant Youtube videos for more info. I also recommend sites like privacytools.io and privacyguides.org They contain lists of alternatives and tools. Also check out tosdr.org which contains summaries of the TOS of a ton of sites. Also try email aliases like simplelogin or anonaddy. Use burner emails for throwaways if possible emailnator.com or tempail.com . Try to use as many open-source applications as possible. You can even self-host certain things.

I think what you're looking for is TOSDR (Terms of Service, Didn't Read): https://tosdr.org

It's been going for several years and has very thorough analysis of various ToS, done by volunteers who are often legal professionals.
