Signal: The Pqxdh Key Agreement Protocol
* marketing "Perfect Forward Secrecy" AKA "Forward Secrecy"[0].
I favor Session Private Messenger[1] because it is decentralized and allows third party clients, but Signal enthusiasts warn me that the Session client may, hypothetically, at some future date, integrate a cryptocurrency, as the Signal client already does[2].

U.K. Abandons, for Now, Legislation That Would Have Banned End-to-End Encryption
If you have a mobile phone number, the domestic intelligence agency knows exactly where you are at all times and any LEO (without a warrant) can also find you. In addition, there have been numerous CCC presentations showing how insecure the global (excluding US) and (separately) US carriers are guilty of promiscuous metadata trafficking ($$) and insecure SS7 setups. As a consequence, for low $, you can go to any one of several shady websites and find the last location of almost any phone number (person unique ID) globally. There are additional varying exploitable vulnerabilities depending on the exact combination of {handset x carrier x country} to impersonate them, tap their line, reveal their exact location, and redirect their phone number through a third-party handset or even a PBX. These are more expensive and some capabilities are forbidden for all but a few selective intelligence uses.
Session (Signal fork) doesn't use phone numbers. It's pretty well-designed overall and uses an onion routing approach. It's already a superset of Signal except it doesn't use phone numbers. https://getsession.org

PS: Using regular TOR on home broadband or cloud servers is relatively risky and inefficient. Sybil attacks on it are common. And to network operators and security agencies it gives an easy "flow tag" of your uplink and exit node data traffic as automatically suspicious.

Accessibility zoom bug on Android ?
The issue should be fixed in the very latest version available. If you can try updating to version 5.181.1 (available in the Play Store or directly from https://github.com/duckduckgo/Android/releases/tag/5.181.1), that should fix the issue.

looks good, but is it? "App Tracking Protection blocked 66066 tracking attempts in Reddit and 1 other app (past hour)"
DuckDuckGo isn't sending your data anywhere, it's just acting as a filter between your apps and the internet. It's open source, so you can view the code to verify it yourself, and build it to run on your phone. And rest disturbed, if it was up to sketchy stuff, it would lose a lot of what it is staking its reputation on

Go FOSS: Information is power
Lots of things I like about the site. For one, I value that privacy has been highlighted.
They feature Firefox but it requires so much work to tweak. I feel this is a reflex recommendation though I do, very much, like that FF allows itself to be tweaked.
On the Desktop... I much prefer LibreWolf - which I didn't see listed. It is what Firefox should be.
On mobile, I prefer DuckDuckGo's Android browser. Firefox mobile comes bundled with 3 trackers! Why must you always shoot yourself in the foot, Mozilla? It's never ending.
DDG is not only open source (https://github.com/duckduckgo/Android) but it also does not have a single tracker. If that wasn't enough, it comes with a module called App Tracking Protection. It's brilliant. It blocks trackers from other apps. I cannot recommend this enough. The sheer amount of information collected from apps on your phone...
I have had apps at 30 attempts in the first few seconds and reach 1,000 tracking attempts within 1/2 an hour. Every single item - from contacts to specific location - is constantly being polled. Every app seems to be running spyware from various vendors - even my banking app.
Wall of text, time to stop. Nice site, love that it's not afraid to be technical.

DuckDuckGo Browser Privacy Myth ?
DuckDuckGo is reputable and their browser is open source. They don't track and report the stuff they see, they just block it.

Duck duck go is it really that private?
To be honest, I don't see any need for a DuckDuckGo browser. After their response to this issue, I personally wouldn't consider touching them. But even without that...why? Even without the horrendous privacy violation and the arrogant attempt to brush it away, is there anything DuckDuckGo's browser does that Firefox doesn't do better? I'm not aware of anything.
