Yes I know that but firefox is lacking features. An old chromium browser on mobile has the same amount of points in benchmarks as the newest firefox on desktop

Why would you use a browser like firefox when you could use brave which has built in ad blocks which firefox has not
Could you provide the instance url?
My bad… It wasn’t supposed to sound that aggressive.
And to be honest: there is no confirmation for a free tier but I strongly believe (and hope) so because most people nowadays assume everything to be free and if they see Signal not having a free backup plan everyone would go
aAhHhHHHhH they are so greedy i thought they are a non-profit.
(I mean people who don’t care about privacy and only use signal because their privay-aware friends told them to)
First of all: there will definitely be a free tier. The only thing not final is storage and media backup.
Second: local backup will most likely still be an option.
Why do people always hate on new features? Just don’t use them if you don’t want to
Then just use the free tier
No i think you misunderstood. Local backups (as we have them now) will (most likely) stay.
I’m gonna be honest. I chose a random article by JWZ and read it. The only thing they are talking about is the contact discovery system. If they don’t want contacts to be uploaded (encrypted) then simply don’t give signal the permission. And that the author moves to facebook messenger because there
at least the privacy failings are obvious
just shows how the author isn’t even interested in secure and private messaging but only in defamig signal
Yes you are right but the website links github commits as sources
I’ve been using Matrix for a few days now and I have to say that encryption is a mess. Rooms and Spaces are not encrypted. 1:1 chats are encrypted but before it worked for my account (whysoever) I had to verify the other person. Also fluffychat is really buggy
Yes it seems like Thunder for some reason does it that way
I’m sorry. You are right. Does it work now?
I think in your (and most other) case(s) the free tier would be just fine
Did you use a forked client? If yes which one?
They are exactly the same and I can open them both 🤷🏼
Okay so I’ve been using Signal for over two years now and would like to address your critical points:
In terms of reliability in general I never experienced any issues with Signal. It works great even in bad internet connection scenarios.
Yes I understand that but there’s no messenger that’s really perfect. Btw signal is working on free and paid cloud backups for iOS and Android
Matrix is more for communites
Has a much smaller userbase and not tech-savy people wouldn’t undestand why you want them tp use session.
I prefer to have a “cryptobro” chromium browser that not only supports five html and js features but is actually leading in html 5 support and not lacking 2 years behind
