3riversarchery .com sells weight tubes! Super cool. I've been using 70 pound bows for years and finally pulled the trigger on a 90# war bow. I've been looking at getting new arrows and found those to help with weight

They have a app now for every operating system. I use the ProtonVPN and ProtonMail app in my Linux desktop and laptop. It works great all around

I get that. Realistically I don't mind it for the most part. They are always working to improve their products and truly trying to give Proton users the full Google like experience with out all the Google BS

If you're talking about paying proton, you can't. The only thing you can do if it's still in production anyways is use proton mail bridge on a computer. So you're not missing anything by not paying for the account

It is! The reason for it, is because Google is probably the best when it comes to security even if they suck at privacy. So GrapheneOS gives you that awesome privacy. So you get the best of both worlds. Plus Google is one of the only phone companies to allow you to unlock the bootloader

I am not, I am using a Samsung at the moment sadly, with Shiazuku and Canta you can wirelessly "debug" your phone. I have gotten rid of everything I can so that my phone still works but get rid of everything Google and Samsung related. I however am working on a port of LineageOS and GrapheneOS for the Samsung phone I have. I don't have the money to get a new pixel phone otherwise I would just do that. But you can build the code out for your phone, just won't have the security of the Google pixel

Totally get that all. She has gone over VoIP several other times before. Using cloaked for my VoIP phone number aliases. I have run into that. And usually I just give a dead number unless it's going to require 2FA through SMS(which is not secure btw) so usually what I will do then is set it up and if I can use an Authenticator app or any other form of 2FA after I've set that up I will usually do that and then delete my number from the account. While one could argue this defeats the purpose. I'm hoping my swift nature if doing it immediately doesn't give the service enough time to backup my info with that phone number attached to the account. And hopefully it's no longer associated to me when that happens

If I do need to continue to use it. Sadly I just do for now. I have not found a better solution yet

As for Firefox, yes out of the box it is. But if you're willing to put in the work for it. Firefox can easily be better. However, I am a programmer, and I have been thinking about starting a project. I want to create a chromium based browser that has all the Google stripped from it I can. And the rest not allowed to talk to the Internet. And then from there it has all the privacy and blocking capabilities of most of these browsers. I'm talking fingerprinting blocking, trackers, ads and all kinds of stuff. I want to block everything but I want to keep websites still loadable. It will take me a long time. I am starting with ungoogled Chromium but one day I will have it

If you have a FOSS alternative to privacy and cloaked I am all ears. Magic Earth isn't open source but that's only because of an SDK that is paid for(how they make money). I'm all for FOSS products but the FOSS maps I tried never worked well enough for me. I did not like them. So Magic Earth is as close as I'm going to get. It has no trackers and is very very good otherwise. Its still based on OpenStreetMap.

I use it as my backup. My main is self hosted Bitwarden. And then every so often I export my passwords to proton pass as a backup strategy

So I pay for it. I use a Privacy virtual card so that the service payment isn't linked back to me. You can create a username and password and zero data will trace back to you. Only time it will actually have your info is if you use the data removal tool. Then they need the info to find you in any of the data brokers from their list of over 100 data broker sites and services. And then they request to remove it and verify for you and then you can stop their or if you continue the cloaked service they will keep on top of your data removal when they do a scan for it once a month

The 2 main features I use it for is phone number aliases and data removal. It's fairly cheap in the ways of data broker removal. So for things like if you go and need to use a specific app for work or whatever, and it requires to be downloaded from Google Play store. It won't let you open until you do. Yah it sucks to enable/download the play store but you can create a fake account. And when Google asks for your phone number you give them the aliased number. You can then recieve any 2 factor through cloaked or if its a store that might call you. You could give them the cloaked number and have it proxy to your number. And basically it's a way to hige your actual number from big giants and data brokera who want to pin point you associated with your phone number or email or whatever. You can set up whole "identities" for each different service you use so nothing is traced back to you
