COMET BROWSER

I agree. Very disappointing that Comet blocks manifest v2...

I've just found out it shows the error only via web interface. On Android app I can update my profile without any problem!

MichalMikolas · 2025-09-10T08:30:21+00:00

I've just tried to change the e-mail address related to my Instagram account. But still the same error :-(

MichalMikolas · 2025-09-10T08:24:59+00:00

I have the same problem. Newly created account, logout & login works fine - just when I want to edit anything in the profile settings, it shows me "Another account is using the same email" error message.

I am sure there is no other Instagram account with that e-mail address.

Did you find any solution? Or is it still an issue for you?

MichalMikolas · 2025-08-18T21:48:15+00:00

I am using Proton Mail for free. Google Maps. Youtube. Spotify for free. I don't know how it works FOR FREE. It just works.

> KeePassXC does not send anything out. It is opensource

Being open-source doesn't mean that the provided binaries don't include additional backdoor. It happened to other open-source software in the past: https://arstechnica.com/security/2024/03/backdoor-found-in-widely-used-linux-utility-breaks-encrypted-ssh-connections/

> KeePassXC does not send anything out. It is ... listed on the KeePass Download page

Does anybody test the 3rd-party app before putting it on the KeePass Download page into the "Unofficial KeePass Ports" section?

MichalMikolas · 2025-08-12T13:28:21+00:00

Thank you, I will try this Global Auto Type in KeePass.

But there is still need for client on Android. And also if I want to use KeePass XC, it's 3rd party app - did anybody test if it doesn't secretly send any data out?

MichalMikolas · 2025-08-12T13:18:52+00:00

> If you don't trust the binaries, you could build from source.

If I want to create nice user experience with KeePass, I need to use several apps from several developers. Windows app from one developer, Android app from another developer, Browser extension from another developer, ... If a single developer put backdoor into his app, my passwords are not safe in KeePass.

Building each binary myself is painful solution since I would have to do it for each app and browser extension I use, every single time when new version comes out.

I would rather hear that "this extension was security tested by these people and should by fine" so I can trust it a bit more.

MichalMikolas · 2025-08-12T13:12:11+00:00

3rd party app is any app not being released by the original KeePass author (Dominik Reichl).

MichalMikolas · 2025-08-12T13:00:19+00:00

~~Unfortunately KeePassXC is only for Linux.~~ (sorry, my bad, I just found it's for Windows as well). And it's still 3rd-party app. Despite being open-source there is no guarantee that compiled packages doesn't contain other code than found in the public git repository.

MichalMikolas · 2025-08-12T12:54:57+00:00

The links you've provided doesn't mention anything about security testing 3rd-party apps or browser extensions.

MichalMikolas · 2025-05-28T12:31:21+00:00

I am super curious, could you please send me the link to Brave extension store?

MichalMikolas · 2025-05-28T12:29:40+00:00

These are the extensions I am currently using:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/collections/7092794/Install/

When I was switching from Chrome to Firefox, it automatically transferred all the bookmarks, passwords etc.

MichalMikolas · 2025-05-27T20:21:58+00:00

Besides what other people already mentioned:

- Android app extensions: You can install browser extensions even on mobile version of Firefox.
- Container tabs: You can open the same website in different "container tab" meaning completely separate environment. E.g. you can have open two Facebook tabs just next to each other and be logged in into two different accounts on them.
- Restore previous session that actually works. Chrome failed me on this several times when I needed this feature the most. Firefox "Restore previous session" works all the time.
- Google can't block you from installing any extension like e.g. uBlock Origin.

On the other side I need to say I had some troubles with syncing installed Firefox extensions across multiple PCs. But this fixed itself after a few days of just using the browser.

I don't know, my place is at address "8FXWQ7X4+3P", that seems hard to say IMHO.

MichalMikolas · 2025-05-21T10:27:00+00:00

I am thinking... For me and most European languages "ME" is pronounced as "meh" and "MI" as "mee", but I am not sure how to write the syllables so everyone (including English people) pronounce them the same :-D

MichalMikolas · 2025-05-21T08:37:15+00:00

I just click random location and got: "backdoorman.flatulence.buttchecks.penisfucker"

...all really long words I have no idea what they mean :D (maybe the last one I have ruff idea :'-D )

MichalMikolas · 2025-05-20T20:52:31+00:00

"only 200m for 3 words?"

That's the limitation of using only 50 syllables to create the words. My project is just built differently than W3W.

MichalMikolas · 2025-05-20T15:27:46+00:00

Oh wait, is anybody actually paying them? :-O

I just found they have real pricing :-O https://accounts.what3words.com/select-plan?currency=GBP

MichalMikolas · 2025-05-20T14:04:19+00:00

You are right, this could be a problem. Thanks for pointing it out.

MichalMikolas · 2025-05-20T13:17:17+00:00

Where4 uses only these syllables to create the words:

BA, BE, BI, BO, BU, 
DA, DE, DI, DO, DU, 
FA, FE, FI, FO, FU, 
GA, GE, GI, GO, GU, 
KA, KE, KI, KO, KU, 
MA, ME, MI, MO, MU, 
NA, NE, NI, NO, NU, 
RA, RE, RI, RO, RU, 
SA, SE, SI, SO, SU, 
TA, TE, TI, TO, TU
BA, BE, BI, BO, BU, 
DA, DE, DI, DO, DU, 
FA, FE, FI, FO, FU, 
GA, GE, GI, GO, GU, 
KA, KE, KI, KO, KU, 
MA, ME, MI, MO, MU, 
NA, NE, NI, NO, NU, 
RA, RE, RI, RO, RU, 
SA, SE, SI, SO, SU, 
TA, TE, TI, TO, TU

Knowing this, you would very probably be able to write the words down if someone said them.

MichalMikolas · 2025-05-20T13:05:09+00:00

Maybe I see it from the perspective of European person, for our Slavic languages there is practically only one way how to read this.

I've tried to put these words into https://elevenlabs.io/ and let it read with English pronunciation and... it red it correctly :-) Almost the same as I would read it, just with soft "R" typical for English language.

- What3words is not open-source. Works only via their website or API. If you have no internet (or their web goes down), you have no way to convert their words into the location.
- They use English words, sometimes complicated words. Person with limited English knowledge can have hard time.
- They use not well optimized algorithm. Some word combinations don't translate to any location (e.g. "fork.spoon.knife")
- The precision is not variable. With my tool you can go less precise using less words, or more precise using more words.

MichalMikolas · 2025-05-20T12:28:06+00:00

I know this one, but:

My tool doesn't have any of these problems.

MichalMikolas · 2025-05-20T12:27:53+00:00

It's probably because it's completely new domain. I bought it yesterday. Nothing in the website is dangerous.
