I very much agree. I’ve always loved how Mullvad VPN and SMSPool have handled logins in this kind of fashion. It’s just much more convenient than e-mail + password.

The official recommendation has always been to review them manually, but realistically, who does that for every package?
How many AUR packages do you install? It doesn’t take that long to review a PKGBUILD once, and then review only the changes every update.
Sadly not.
NewPipe’s extractor doesn’t work properly right now, as you can only watch videos in 360p. That’s the biggest upside of PipePipe but it also has some extra features like these:
Sorry, I must’ve skipped over that.
They can still see what sites you visit even with Secure DNS though. That only blocks your ISP from seeing what domain names you’re connecting to, but they can still see the IP addresses. It’s useless, unless you’re using a VPN in which case it is worse for your privacy as it makes you more identifiable than just using your VPN’s DNS.
My recommendations:
Organic Maps -> CoMaps (they got forked because of some bad decisions.)
Brave -> Helium (has full uBlock Origin and Ungoogled Chromium patches, and no crypto bloat)
LibreTube -> PipePipe (has some nice features like live chat, and less buggy in my experience)
LibreOffice -> OnlyOffice (has better Microsoft Office compatibility, and easier to use in my experience)Disable your third-party DNS, that only works to make you more identifiable as you’re already using a VPN. You can also use Syncthing to sync your password vault etc. between your devices. I’d also recommend using Posteo instead of Tuta because it is cheaper and its privacy policy is kinda better.
0·16 days agoThere are some pretty cheap listings, some even having escrow. I think I’ll go with this if I can’t find another solution. Thank you!
Thanks for the answer!
Do you have a link for where you saw those? I’m also not paying 30USD for a Reddit account :D, but I wouldn’t mind paying a smaller amount.
It’s kirka.io.
