Zen seems to have picked up a lot of privacy improvements but it’s a pretty small team doing a lot of ambitious work. I like it, but it’s got a lot of (minor, mostly aesthetic) bugs.

I use mullvad for stuff I really don’t want a record of (for as much as that’s possible)

On the chrome side, Vivaldi (former opera before they sold out to china) is a good browser, but even more ambitious and even more buggy than zen. It has a built in email client. Like, who does that?

It can also be more safe depending on where the centralization happened.

Id argue that if decentralization is the goal, matrix is the right path forward.

Just like the non-technical backdoor

What are you talking about?
