    I wouldn’t really say these are cybersecurity tools, but it’s sure as shit not Brave.

    For security: aegis (totp manager) , keepassxc/dx (password manager), veracrypt (local encryption) and cryptomator (cloud/mobile encryption). Thats it pretty much everythng else I use is more for privacy Edit: cant believe I forgot about ublock origin. it’s like a condom for the internet

        I use Vanadium for high-security tasks, but Mull is my default browser for standard browsing. It has better privacy, because it has built-in anti-fingerprinting mechanisms and you can actually install proper adblockers like uBlock Origin. Also, I don’t want to support Google’s monopoly on browser rendering engines by using a Chromium-based browser, so I prefer Mull which is based on Gecko.

          In terms of security, Vanadium is better than Mulch. Mulch uses some of the patches of Vanadium, but it lacks many security improvements that are present in Vanadium. My current setup is Vanadium for tasks where high security is very important, and Mull for just standard browsing.

        Have fun! Don’t hesitate to ask me via DM if you have a question or encounter any problems as I’d say I’m quite experienced with all the tools I listed.

    GrapheneOS, Signal, Vanadium, Mullvad VPN, extremely strict permissions. I don’t do much with my phone, but I still need to know I’m in control of my privacy.

    half of these are not even barely security related.

    and if you meant privacy, well, definitely none of the images either. SimpleX, SearXNG, Tor and I2P

    PS: I find it hilarious that you include proprietary software like Vivaldi or Obsidian. That is how flawed this post is.

    I have a page on my Gemini capsule with a list of the software I use. Ask away about my reasons for any of the entries.

    Gemini | HTTPS

    I also quite like LUKS, VeraCrypt, and geli(8) for disk encryption, and I use mainly physical media (e.g. CDs) for music and video.

    that seems like a pretty random selection of things honestly, what qualifies as a cybersecurity tool? hows vivaldi a part of that? or openotp?

      Setting aside my personal misgivings for a lot of the apps here, I don’t understand why in Vivaldi was included at all. It’s better than Chrome, maybe? Honestly, we don’t have a clue about weather Vivaldi or Chrome is more private, but we do have a whole web page from the Vivaldi developers about why they cannot make their project open source.

      I don’t particularly believe their excuses.

      In part, it’s because the excuses could be transposed to some degree onto Google Chrome, which itself is based on an open source project but also severely changed and differently branded.

      Come to think of it, because their page of excuses is so poor, I think of Vivaldi in a negative sense compared to browsers even like Opera.

      Another thing against Vivaldi is the fact they have convinced at least a few people, and almost convinced me, that they had the source code released… When they were simply releasing the Google Chrome engine with minimal changes.

    I use Firefox, Proton everything, Signal (for the 4 contacts who have it). I guess that’s it.

    I try to use Plex as much as possible instead of streaming services…?

      Sadly Plex collects some data about its users. I remember opting out of some telemetry stuff but I can’t remember where that was. If you want a self-hosted streaming service like Plex that completely respects your privacy, Jellyfin is what you’re looking for. I tried it and it’s okay but not as good as Plex imo. But if your main focus is privacy then you should definitely check it out. It’s FOSS.

      Edit:
      I found where I had to opt out some data collection for Plex. Open this site, scroll halfway down the page. You’lle see two checkboxes for “Send playback data to Plex” and “Advertising Consent”.

        Yeah I tried Jellyfin too but Plex is much better. I just threw it in the list because I figured it was better than having a bunch of video and music streaming services.

    Brave is far from being a cybersecurity tool

    My favorites tools in this image is Aegis and Signal

      I have to say my faith in signal has been shattered since I got crosstalk on a signal conversation. I still can’t imagine how that’s possible but it was there, clear as day.
