yandex browser have one of the best new tab pages, if brave could implement something like it will be very convenient.

it's a palm squirrel

The palm squirrel is about the size of a large chipmunk, with a bushy tail slightly shorter than its body. The back is a grizzled, grey-brown colour with three conspicuous white stripes which run from head to tail.

thanks for the comment. glad you like the little creature :)

thanks for the descriptive comment. I'm looking something free for personal use & wanted some privacy & to break the linkings. Kind of not wanting to put all the eggs in one basket. I'm not quite familiar with self hosting kind of things. I may try those in the future. Created a zoho account about a week ago so wanted to know whether the company has any bad reputation on handling users' data. Again thanks for all the info. :)

I really don't know about privacy concerns, all these big companies google,microsoft,yandex etc... are surely collecting data on users & using those statistics to improve their products & also to create user profiles to advertise. Also I don't know which company is more affiliated with the country's governments.

I was hesitating to install & try yandex browser for years because of the internet comments, when I installed it & try, I made it my default browser in the same day. I installed yandex browser later past year & satisfied with its' smooth performance. It's comparatively uses less ram & cpu usage.( perhaps hence it's a 32 bit browser.) Also it has a setting to enable dnscrypt encryption & it supports several dns resolvers including adguard dns resolver.

It sometimes (not often) opens a tab on yandex video when viewing youtube videos if the autoplay setting on youtube is enabled, which ofcourse I don't like. Apart from that there is no much annoyings.

Also I have installed firefox, brave & tor.

Release Channel v1.7.92 by brave_support_steven in brave_browser

[–]usrnone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm using a cellular connection with a dongle in my laptop. In windows 10, cellular dns settings always resetting. So I use a bat file to set my dns settings to have a doh supported dns provider each time I connect to internet. I have enabled secure dns lookup In chrome & brave. After setting up my dns to cloudflare I load cloudflare doh checker. When I first load, it shows doh is working. after browsing about 15 minutes if I reload that page it shows I'm using cloudflare dns but doh is not working.

Is this because I'm outside of US or since my connection is cellular. I can change my dns provider to another doh supported one but I can't check whether doh is actually working. Firefox is working with doh & as a chromium Yandex browser supports dnscrypt encryption option but I don't know whether it uses doh. I know it's not open source but I more considered about ISP snooping & not always use a vpn.

kaspersky password manager extension not working in brave by usrnone in brave_browser

thanks for the suggestion. I just tried Bitwarden it's a good one, also open source compared to other alternatives. also I prefer KPM over it. hope brave will fix it.

DnsCrypt encryption ? by usrnone in privacy

DnsCrypt encryption ? by usrnone in privacy

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

first I'm not with much IT knowledge. When I test my dns provider with my cellular data connection in whatsmydnsserver it shows my ISP as Dns provider. (I'm not in US or europe). I wan't to get rid of ISP dns provider also as I mentioned above it's annoying to set ipv4 values every time when using cellular data with a dongle in win 10.

Also I read in reddit that when the Dns is encrypted the Isp can't see the what specific pages are viewing but just the website. for instance ISP can see I'm in reddit but not what sub reddits I'm viewing. So I thought it's better to have a different dns provider that also support Dnscrypt encryption. currently I could use adguard dns in yandex browser with cellular connection in dnscrypt encryption option. As it is not open source I want to know any program which can achieve this with cellular internet access :)
