Online privacy starts with the browser you use.
I put together a guide to the best privacy-focused browsers in 2026, including Brave, Tor, Firefox, DuckDuckGo, and LibreWolf.
If you care about tracking, fingerprinting, and data collection, this will help.

From now on - AliasVault works offline 🎉 . You asked, we built it!
Create and edit your vault without an internet connection. Changes across devices sync automatically when you’re back online, with smart field-level conflict resolution.
Built for real-world use #passwordmanager #password #privacytools
Better long-term:
→ Migrate to Signal (FOSS, audited, metadata-minimal)
→ Self-host Matrix (federated, full control)
→ Use XMPP with OMEMO (decentralised, encrypted)
Or if you want social media that's actually private:
→ We're building Snugg: E2E encrypted posts/DMs, no ads, no tracking, open source, cryptographic deletion

🔒 I waited 4 years for Mailfence. Here's why it failed:
99% of emails unencrypted (manual PGP setup required, zero user guidance)
Closed-source = zero verification
No E2EE for calendar/contacts
OpenPGP EFAIL vulnerabilities remain exploitable
Metadata still fully exposed
EU jurisdiction ≠ cryptographic protection.
Privacy theater is still theater. You deserve better.

Temo che il profilo di #PrivacyTools, che non scrive nulla da quasi 3 anni ma proposto negli #starterPack , sia la rappresentazione plastica del #fediverso
Persone e gruppi con le giuste competenze tecniche e mentali che entrano, forse con le migliori intenzioni, ma abbandonano per "inedia". Se non ci credono nemmeno loro, come si può pensare che creda la casalinga di Voghera?

When privacy services say "we can't read your emails," ask: is that the default, or does it require technical setup most users will never complete?
I analyzed Mailfence's security claims and documented the gap between their marketing language and what users actually get.
Spoiler: TLS ≠ E2EE, server-side decryption ≠ privacy, and Belgian data centers can't protect plaintext from Belgian courts.

Spam is annoying, but email tracking is often the bigger problem.
DuckDuckGo Email Protection uses email forwarding to keep your real address private and remove trackers before messages reach your inbox — without replacing your email provider.
I’ve written up how it works, how it compares to alias-based services, and where its limits are:

I’ve published a deep dive into Proton Mail — looking beyond the marketing to how it actually works day to day.
The article covers:
• privacy and security fundamentals
• usability and workflow trade-offs
• where Proton Mail excels
• where it may not be the right fit
If you’re weighing up a privacy-focused email provider, this should help you decide.

I’ve published a new article looking at how hardware security keys work with Proton Pass, including YubiKey support.
It covers:
• what security keys actually protect against
• how they fit into Proton Pass
• when they’re worth using (and when they’re not)
If you’re thinking about stronger account security without adding unnecessary friction, this may help.
