@lonm said in Private mode != incognito mode:
If you need multiple contexts active at once for your workflow
Or (possibly inflammatory) use only one private/incognito window but open others in different browsers :)
@catweazle Yes, forgot I also use Privacy Badger. Hanven't tried nano Adblocker. I do know what Ghostery does, much like WOT, but some swear by them. Ghostery has been off my system for a while now but I did have it running with uBkock previously and that's why I decided to mentioned it.
I've never really Trusted Cloudfare. As a user only I do my best to avoid them.
I know Vivaldi uses Cloudfare... perhaps it is their best option(?).
Since I must use an IBM product (Trusteer) for banking I've tried Quad9 (mentioned above) and find it quicker than my ISP's default configuration so will stick with it. (Using OpenDNS as backup.)

By definition interesting only for Windows users
Sorry, completely disagree with that last sentence [otherwise i'd not be wasting my time here]. As a non-Win i don't stop being interested in security & privacy [in fact, totally the opposite, eg... i abandoned Windoze, teehee]. I refer you to my OP https://forum.vivaldi.net/post/218471 in this thread; why would i do any of that stuff if i was disinterested in the topic?
Nothing is further from my intention to offend you, privacy of course is independent of the OS, by interest I was referring rather to the use of an AV, which for a Linux user lacks great interest, with a system where the protection issue is secondary.
Forgive me if I have offended you by my way of expressing myself in my deficient English.

Smombies.
@lonm said in Do you think that the encrypted e-mail is safe?:
The real problem with PGP is that it's such a hassle to manage
Not really. With P≡P ist is easy f.ex. in Thunderbird.
So I just noticed this now on some web site, and was curious about how V even stores this password. So is this a bug and should never have shown ? Is my password being saved anywhere ?
Lol I wasn't even logged into google so I dont know how it saved with Google Smart Lock ?
I see that V has brought in all the passwords from Chrome via Smart Lock - is this also a bug ?
@bvamundsen said in Vivaldi timeliness adopting chromium security updates?:
The user string with the chromium used to build, but bracket with back-ported, if brackets are allow by the UserString standards.
That may break webpages which rely on version numbers.
On Vivaldi "About" page start a string with the base chromium built upon, plus the added brackett (back-ported) to indicate that back-ports have been applied.
A pinned page here in the Security Forum, which would show the Vivaldi Release numbers and the Chromium base used and then if any CVE's were back-ported to the Vivaldi release the CVE's applied. This page would be a best effort by someone working with the developers, so they aren't pulled away from their important work.
If you think such pageis useful and missing in Vivaldi, please make a request.
How to make a feature request for Vivaldi
If you think your problem can be solved by a missing feature, please add a request at https://forum.vivaldi.net/category/113/feature-requests in the corresponding thread for your browser version.
and send a report if your issue is so urgent.
Please read How to Report a bug for Vivaldi carefully and then report the bug to Vivaldi bugtracker.
@paul1149 Agreed.
The previous version of DNSCrypt was also available for programmable routers.
Hopefully v2 will also get round to making router builds.
v2 is still not complete, so priorities may be focused on the features first.
New Opera has had an ad-blocker for years; they also use it to block those coin mining scripts. Since it is not an extension the blocking occurs sooner in the loading process and thus is supposed to make page loading faster (according to them - I haven't timed it) ,,, and yes, you can easily turn it off or on. So maybe Google is noticing.
I haven't posted anything in a log time cause some seem to get preferential treatment can post off topic etc. and get away with it.
Just thought Viv security { very relevant} a link to US PWN2Own hacker convention and about edge and Safari getting hacked thought it might help.

Also said DEFCOM will be in China cause less chance of getting arrested there than in US a SAD STATE OF AFFAIRS.
