Never thought about doing this, but this list is gold, thank you so much!

"A charger can be manipulated to control voice assistants via inaudible voice commands"

That was unexpected!

@TheYaINN I agree. A password manager generator with editing capabilities would be a nice thing. In the meanwhile, have you thinked of using any online password generator as a page pinned in the panel?

I use Proton and Tutanota (Tuta) but primarily as IDs to various Alt Tech platforms. So I'm not using them as general purpose mail programs, but receive notifications.

There's another application (commercial) called Sekur that I've not used. But it has the feature that you can communicate securely with non-Sekur users.

Do tell. When I go to the site it sees that I'm using chromium-compatible browser, but there's no download button anywhere.

@Pathduck, of course, when they say that user privacy is important to them, they are telling the truth, since they make money from it. It is the user who misinterprets this phrase.

"Your privacy is very important for US" they say 😏

@DoctorG That works, thank you very much! 👍
The useful side effect is, that I now know how to block HTTPS (type 65) requests with the Pi-Hole.

Generally yes. I’m using a passkey on Github for instance.

@Catweazle Very useful , thanks!

@Silouan The password database is unlocked when you login to your OS user account. No extra master password protection.

@LonM, it is clear that you do not have many options in certain services, although there are almost always alternatives, but you must be aware that reading the conditions well is very important, at least to know at what point it is necessary to shield yourself. The main problem is that most people do not read PP and TOS and then complain about lack of privacy, having signed their consent in a binding contract without reading it.
For many years now all I have used is mainly FOSS and services with decent privacy and as a general rule avoiding those with texts longer than a page and too much legal jargon, because these are surely the worst.

@nomadic said in Vivaldi every 30 second sending some data to Microsoft server:

@samirqlvdev Searching for that IP suggested that it might be related to a POP3 email setup with an Outlook address.

Have you setup an email account run by Microsoft in Vivaldi's email client?

Yes, thank you forgot about that.

You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink.

@barbudo2005, 90% of security and privacy is common sense, because of this, knowing that Google only removes apps from the Play Store that were reported by users and that Play Protect is more or less a Placebo, not to say Fake (AV Test), it is clear to take the Play Store with a grain of salt.

@vivandroid Assuming that this was a fake site (you will need to carefully verify that, so that you don't mistakenly brick your bank's site), it might be useful to report it to the Safe Browsing project, for more information look at the Security FAQ item about it

@Greenphlem Manifest 3 is built into Chromium. It mainly impact extensions. Vivaldi has to use manifest 3 eventually because it based on Chromium.
