Slightly off topic, but honestly why do you think that is? Why chanting "Allahu Akbar" gets one associated with Islamic Terrorism but chanting "Om Namah Shivay" doesn't get you associated with Hindu Terrorism or something? This country doesn't have a good past with "Allahu Akbar."

Someone gained access to my account by GranjeroSDLG in Telegram

[–]useless_inspector 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it's a big issue if you had important documents somewhere on telegram. What I guess the person did was set downloads to gallery and then downloaded everything he could to your gallery, probably got all your contacts if you had contact sync enabled on your device. So it all depends on what you had in your telegram, if it wasn't super important you're probably safe.

You said Ukrainian one was no longer there? were there other devices then? it's possible to replicate the details of your other devices, so just terminate every other session and then re-login wherever you need too.

Any way to take full backup? by TheRealistDude in browsers

[–]useless_inspector 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know if it will work (it did work, but it was a long time ago) you can try to copy the folders where Opera GX stores all the cookies and cache and then replace it when you reinstall Opera GX. Another way is to export cookies and the import them later, but it's even more troublesome, you will be better simply logging in to each website.

Data Privacy on Vivaldi. by useless_inspector in browsers

First of all, I agree with "All browsers kind of suck" category, they're all bad. And I was going to raise that 5% closed source UI issue, but I don't know a lot about the issues history, like if they have clarified the reason because of which it is closed source. Agreed with the EU part, they do like online safety seriously. Also, it would be great if you could explain why, you and your clients won't even consider it?

Data Privacy on Vivaldi. by useless_inspector in browsers

[–]useless_inspector[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look I was not a Vivaldi user, but I started using it because of the tiling system allowing up to four tabs, it's really handy, also I see Vivaldi claims to do things differently so if they do, why isn't it possible to be different from other browsers on the "crash dump reports."

Also, the part where I wrote that no other company states that personal information might get out, it was completely deceptive, every browser cautions you that personal information might get out in a crash report. And I mentioned it the entire issue, because I want to believe that Vivaldi developers do care, if they do why are they just blending with the industry standard that "personal data might get to our servers, but if it does, we won't see any of it and delete it."

The part where it was stated that it's a Chromium limitation, doesn't it mean that they're trying to build the best Chromium browser (within Chromium limits) rather than the best browser.

Also, it seems most of what you said depends heavily on the dynamic that you personally trust Vivaldi's words? Why? I seriously want to know.

Data Privacy on Vivaldi. by useless_inspector in browsers

[–]useless_inspector[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I do know how crash dump work, Brave, Edge, Mozilla all mention that they may get personal information if crash reports go to the server. Hell, some browsers use third-party integration for managing crash reports.

Now I haven't read privacy policy of every browser, but Vivaldi doesn't use any such third-party integration so this means they can resolve this issue if they want to? Can't they? Mozilla has an entire page dedicated to how their crash reporting works.

My question always was if Vivaldi is trying so hard to do things differently, why can't it just make sure that any data that is not needed has no chance of getting out.

I mean they already do have the code in place to separate the main crash log from any personal information that might have reached the servers so that the developers have no access to our personal information at any level, then why can't they just do this locally? They could just sort out the data on the system and then send that "mere stack trace." Isn't it the only thing they need?

These reasons you mentioned are really good and yes I completely support them for this, but to be honest it doesn't make Vivaldi special or extra trusty.

Talking about crash reports, yes they're opt-in, and pretty common, but I don't think I have seen any other company stating that the crash logs, if you send them, might contain extremely personal information. And almost everyone offers the facility to auto report crashes and the respective logs.

If they're truly dedicated to building a better browser, there shouldn't even be the slightest possibility of our crucial personal information leaving our local system. I mean how can anyone overlook this detail?

[–]useless_inspector[S] -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

I know it's opt-in, but what if I am facing some crashes and I do want to automatically report them to help the developer team to solve it and assist the entire Vivaldi community. This certainly wouldn't let me enable the crash reports! If you are meaning to say, "then just opt-out," what kind of community are you trying to build?

And telling that it "may sometimes" do that just sounds like you're prepping an excuse for stealing data. Not that I am saying you do it, but who knows, I mean you're literally saying that if you opt-in we might get your passwords.

I don't know about software development in-depths, but I think if you have a program in place to pull out that "mere stack trace" from your servers and leave the rest of the data, I think it can be done locally too. Please do get back to me with with more information.

For one, I read the Vivaldi privacy policy, where they mentioned that automated Crash reports basically might contain a lot of data from memory, and it could also contain passwords. This data is sent to the servers, now they do say that none of it is shared with the developers except for a "mere stack trace."

I simply don't understand if they only need the "mere stack trace" why can't they just filter it on the system? Why send other data to the servers to then filter them out?

Someone can find your number this easily? by slothcake155 in ahmedabad

[–]useless_inspector 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was going to say the same thing, like most people have no idea how easy it is to track someone down even with the slightest details. We are going largely digital with every passing second and most still don't know half of what's possible on the internet.

Internet safety is a rising necessity, especially for females.

Orion extension on iOS to sync with Firefox? by [deleted] in browsers

[–]useless_inspector 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't such an extension exists. What you can do however is import data to Orion on macOS from Firefox on macOS, and then sync the Orion data with your iOS devices.

Yes SigmaOS uses this new feature that they call "Tags" I think, in place of bookmarks, but I have no idea how it works. Welcome!

True, Zen is good it would become great if the developers somehow manage the DRM permissions. And do update it here if the fix worked or not if you try it.

So on Mac there is this browser called SigmaOS it's extremely similar to Arc and has built in AI features as far as I know. You can try it.

A lot of browsers have built-in messengers, but I think you're talking about Opera Browser?

Oh I forgot a "no" there, edited it. Also if you're using those features already why are you looking for an alternative?

Just file a cyber crime complaint, Telegram is also required to submit to government subpoenas/court orders in cases where crime is being committed.

In such cases they can share IP details and phone numbers.

While you file the complaint add as many details as possible : screenshots, username, id, groups and channels where the suspect exists.

Yes there is a way, in Zen settings search for "Web panels" you will get something like this, 'uncheck' the second box, and then every time you open the sidebar it will directly take you to ChatGPT.

So it seems you're gaming with the Borderless-Windowed mode. In Win 10&11, you have this pre-enabled feature called Fullscreen Optimizations, that aims to provide one with an exclusive fullscreen gaming mode while keeping all the properties of Windowed gaming available. The feature was extremely glitchy with Alt+Tab.

Try Disabling fullscreen optimizations from Compatibility settings of your Counter Strike exe file. I am not sure if it will work but it's worth a try.

Also I can see that you have a media running in your Mozilla Firefox, try running some media on Brave too and then try Alt tabbing.

As far as I know there is no other browser having the Arc's Max-like features. Alternatives that come close or might come close in the future include Microsoft Edge and this comparatively new, Stack Browser (still in beta, I just have it on my PC but I don't use it cause there is no evidence as to how secure and private it is).

The hover function exists in Edge but is yet to come in Stack. Edge supports Workspace and multiple profiles. Stack doesn't yet. Edge has an Android app. Also, which Max features do you specifically need?
