It is probably illegal depending on your jurisdiction and Swiss laws.

Not all browser extensions are fingerprintable, only those that do by the website measureable differences to your browsing, which Snowflake, as far as I’m aware does not.

Fingerprinting is a very difficult topic. A lot on how their algorithms and tech actually works is obfuscated and hidden from the people’s eye. I will be totally honest with you, I don’t think changing ur timezone will gian you much benefit, it might even make you stick out more since it doesn’t correlate with other information like your IP address, preferred language, etc.

There has been a browser extension that set ur browser values to match the IP address region, but it’s now history sadly.

Overall, I think if cchanging your timezone will benefit or harm you, comes down to very specific adversaries.

You seem to be unable to understand simple English, so I’ll end the conversation here.

This pretty much not adressing what I said at all. I use LineageOS myself and it’s miles better than the Stock Operating Systems of most if not all devices they support. But we shouldn’t mislead people, LineageOS is not fully “degoogled” and uses some Google services, even without the Google Play Services installed.

LineageOS is not “Google-free”. The OS still connects to various Google services by default, even without Google Play Services installed.

To be fair, Discord has e2e encrypted voice calls using their “Dave” protocol.

Saily is by Nord Security, also the company behind NordVPN

Not a good idea. The value changes rapidly.

True, I just thought it might be more useful to OP than just the PDF + all other audits are listed too.

My point is that sharing an article by an irrelevant third party spreading misinformation due commercial interest is not a good pratice.

Share the audit then, not the tomsguide article.

I think Tor with Tor Bridges (to obscure that you use Tor) is your best bet. Or using Tor over a VPN (using a VPN systemwide and then connect to Tor)

Everything else is just standard opsec, not leaking personal information and so on

Also, don’t use a E-Mail address or phone number tied to your real information, like your name or IP address. Because that is how many people got caught in the past.

You can’t use social media anonymously, it will all be pseudonymous aslong as you engage, if you consume social media passively, you can. But their have been reports that passive social media consumption is tied to negative mental health.

The article is not very trustworthy, promoting VPN they have financial partnerships and calling them “best”

Glad to see most Germans are against.

Your technical and legal understanding seems limited. I personally work in the IT space and am a hobbyist in legal matters, in particular data protection.

I’m pretty sure there was nothing they could’ve legally done to protect the payment information.

It’s not a “bad look” for Proton; instead, it’s just people being confronted with reality.

If you commit a crime, law enforcement will be after you, and if your operational security sucks, there will be no service that can counter that.

TL;DR: It’s a soft fork of Ungoogled Chromium which is a soft fork of Chromium.

I assume your disability is related to grammar, since there are a lot of errors in your Readme, or you might just not be that good with English yet. Whatever the case might be, it would look more trustworthy and professional if you would fix those.

If you don’t give information to Proton AG which they can be legally forced to hand over, you’re alright.
