A place to discuss privacy and freedom in the digital world.
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.
Some Rules
- Posting a link to a website containing tracking isn't great, if contents of the website are behind a paywall maybe copy them into the post
- Don't promote proprietary software
- Try to keep things on topic
- If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
- Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience
- Be nice :)

Would source code changes tracked by their respective version control systems not show Firefox is more secure from Google's infiltration than Google Chrome and similar derivatives?
Google Chrome is not the same as Chromium, and protection from Google is not what this topic is covering. It is covering protection from malicious websites, and mainly claims about site isolation.
Also, no. A commit log or version control system does not show information about security issues that have not been fixed yet.
I feel like this community might get more out of something like Cromite vs Mull comparison. Does anyone on Lemmy, especially the privacy community, actually use Google Chrome?
Awesome that you're doing this though regardless. I've saved this post and look forward to reading your work
Again, Google Chrome is not the same as Chromium. Brave is based on Chromium, which many users in the privacy community use.
Thank you! I hope it will not disappoint
Oop, I was too tired when I wrote this lol
Brave is a series scam company.
You didn't get the point. It's about community relevance.
Thank you for clarifying your topic. Although, it would be interesting to see how Google's presence might subtly shape language around security.
Bug bounty payouts correlate with how secure software is (more securely written software = larger bounties).
Your answer would be:
OS: Desktop < iOS < Android
Mobile: all other browsers <<< Chrome & Safari
Desktop: all other browsers <<< Edge & Safari & Firefox < Chrome
