The problem comes from federation. You never know where your messages are synced to + what will happen if instances are defederated. Matrix might become something really cool, if it spends 1-2 years solely on security. Otherwise… it’s just nothing more than an epic (and misleading) name + some IRC legacy vibes.
Vivaldi (or Mozart… whatever) is a joke regarding privacy. IMHO it’s not as bad as Opera, Chrome, Edge, but still not good enough. For some privacy, you should always use a VPN service + Hardened Firefox / Brave / LibreWolf.
Can you share what’s coming soon from Nightly 👀❓
And why not Brave 👀 Way better than Mozart, or whatever 😅
Matrix is a security nightmare. Everyone should stay clear from it till possible solutions are found for the ongoing concerns.
Cookies are not evil per se… but data mining companies made them like that.
I’m administrating an online store and cookies are responsible for the customer’s cart, plus their user session / logged in state.
As an admin I adhere to the “golden rule”, thus there are no creepy trackers on store. I don’t like them and I don’t want customers to face the same thing on websites that I manage.
That said, cookies are needed for user session & fraud protection. Instead of nuking cookies we shall kick the trackers out.
Well… GenZ doesn’t like gaslight as well 😉
