Here's a very brief overview of some of the Monero Wallets with a quick pro/con of each. Including the official wallet, Cake, MyMonero, and Feather. Now with some of them, assumptions are made about your use of them (light vs full wallets), for example MyMonero being a lighter wallet and the trade-offs involved with this convenience. Enjoy and thanks for your time: https://simplifiedprivacy.com/monero-wallets-which-is-right-for-you/
Good discussions and I'd love a follow up to this. I pointed out in a separate reply that I was unaware this would be how it worked. If I were ever to use Feather in future or recommend it to others, I'd like to be aware of the whens, ifs, hows and where's it may be double routed or less private or secure.
Double routing through tor does not make you more or less secure, its only slowing down. Not relevant here btw, because as @Saki pointed out, Feather wallet does not do double routing through tor.
Thanks for chiming in with the info. Hopefully ShadowRebel or someone from the site reads the exchange, looks into it and corrects any contradictions.
@VolunTerry Sorry I didn't reply sooner. I was waiting for the OP to answer first. What they wrote in that webpage might be relevant in some unusual situations, and if so, I'd like to learn about that.
@ShadowRebel Sorry again, my 1st comment here was unfocused and poorly-written, I'm afraid I upset you. I meant Coin Control, but didn't explain it properly. IMO Important points of Feather include (1) Electrum-like GUI & (2) Coin Control. (1) is the definitive feature in the sense that I'd recommend Feather to someone new to XMR, if they're familiar with Electrum. "Embedded Tor" is not that important because equally possible with Official GUI: please see https://monero.town/post/402343
If @ShadowRebel doesn't reply, perhaps too busy, I'll write about (1)(2) here so we can share various point of views, exchange opinions. Ideally, we can improve their web pages, correcting minor misunderstanding if any, so that that resource may become more useful for the community; and they can have more traffic to their business site too, which should be win-win. Obviously there are many things I don't yet know and I'd like to learn more, corrected if I'm misunderstanding something. I hope the feeling is mutual.
@Saki, Great discussion here. I'm happy to have you adding to it. Hashing the details out is important and the collaborative nature of your most recent reply is exactly what I want to continue to see in the space and here on Lemmy.
I agree wholeheartedly about wanting all the resources to be as accurate and informative as possible and promoting the open exchange of ideas and opinions. I'm always still learning and love to have good resources to point others to as well.
