Our ISPs are too cheap and lazy to even try looking. I still use I2P, but only because I need to justify my tin foil hats collection.

I only use K9 on Android. Everything else, web-based.

That brings it's own share of risks as well. Like getting scammed for example.

I use Vanadium for that level.

In all honesty, I am not sure if you can sync, but I think I've seen librewolf and Mull being able to sign in to a Firefox account. I don't sync anything unless I self-host, so I have my linkwarden for all my bookmarks needs.

I've heard of a self-hosted alternative to Firefox accounts, but I would need to research that a bit.

Librewolf for anything that does work, Brave for anything that works only on Chromium based, and Mullvad for all the crazy.

On Android it's Mull and Mulch.

I'm sorry, I should have been clearer. Yes, I meant for streaming. I also have all my favorite music downloaded and play them locally (sort of, self-hosted from my home server). But way back when I was part of the Spotify crowd I came across great songs I didn't know about, so streaming is a great way to find those hidden jewels. I just don't want to have any of those apps trying to mine a boatload of data constantly from my devices.

I get that, and it makes sense. What pisses me off is that this is the type of information all users should have access to before they decide to sign up or not.

That sneaky shit is what made me start on the track of removing myself from all the mainstream networks out there.

And, of course, they want you to login or sign up to be able to read that page.

[–] jjlinux@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago

That's an across the board thing. But yes, that's l a removed.

Is there anything like this for Android that you're aware of? That would be awesome.

Your "ideally would want" pretty much locks you to a Pixel phone. The 7 has serious radio issues, the 8 works great (I had the 7 Pro now have the 8 Pro, no always on GrapheneOS) and don't know about the 9, but other that all the AI bullshit they are pushing with it, I don't really see that the specs justify those prices, specially since you're looking at installing GrapheneOS on it.
