  • I doubt it. I think OP wanted upvotes and didn’t read carefully. Something like “tor user de-anonymized via retired app” would of been more accurate.

    This is another great lesson that even the best privacy tools can’t protect a user from their own bad opsec.

    It just sucks as a lot of Lemmy users will just read the title and assume its true and then tell their friends tor is no longer safe.

    Mullvad, IVPN, and Proton are the top tier for privacy respecting VPNs.

    Windscribe and AirVPN are also decent options but do not have the audit history to be in the same tier as the other 3.

    Most other VPNs people mention either have a dubious history or no real proof of their claims to be privacy respecting.

    That’s fair, and the reasons why someone buys a phone is a personal choice.

    I would suggest with things like a headphone jack that, while its annoying to buy an adapter (usb-c to headphone) it may be worth the cost vs sacrificing something like hardware security.

    Sadly a lot of the time consumers are forced to choose between security and privacy or convenience.

    If the security benefits of a pixel is less important then the fact Google made it then GOS is simply not meant for you.

    Its silly people complain about it being only compatible for pixels but never seem to blame other android brands for making significantly less secure phones. The responsibility should be put on phone makers to create secure phones that meet GOS requirements, not to expect GOS to make a less secure OS.

    The whole AOSP environment is very Google centric so its pretty weird to think because your not buying a pixel that you are somehow avoiding Google.
