Time to stop using Chrome (arstechnica.com)
submitted 2 years ago by Owl@hexbear.net to c/technology@hexbear.net

Google is now rolling out a system where Chrome directly tracks your activity and shares its summary with advertisers.

Also Firefox is faster as of like two months ago.

It takes five minutes to switch browsers, and the difference is so little that you'll often forget you did it.

As much as I like using Proton Mail and VPN, their current offerings have grown exponentially in size.

I would highly recommend anyone here to not put all their eggs in one basket. Proton can and has in the past disabled user accounts for no reason. This means that you will lose access to everything you use with them.

Only use Mail or VPN and use other services for other needs.

  1. Mail -> Tutanota
  2. Calendar -> Tutanota
  3. Drive -> Just make a NAS. I don't trust any provider with file storage.
  4. VPN -> Mullvad
  5. Pass -> Bitwarden or Keepass
  6. Wallet -> Don't buy crypto
  7. Docs -> ~~OpenOffice~~ LibreOffice
  8. Sheets -> ~~OpenOffice~~ LibreOffice
  9. Authenticator -> Aegis or Ente Auth
  10. Meet -> This is fine.
  11. AI -> Run something locally

It's it worth looking at anything but my beloved debian? Does Ubuntu bring anything novel to the table? Fedora?

Catherine Jestin, executive vice president of digital at Airbus, told The Register: "I need a sovereign cloud, as some of the information is extremely sensitive from a national and European perspective." The main reason for the decision is the availability of new software.

Airbus' tender is scheduled to begin in January 2026 and a decision will be made by the summer of 2026. The value of the order is estimated at 50 million euros and the execution is estimated to be a period of ten years. According to The Register, however, Jestin doubts that European cloud providers have sufficient capacity.

Both Ed and I have also noted that basically the entire Windows Insider team, the people that helped found and shape the program, have recently moved on to other positions within Microsoft. With the oft-cited rumor that Microsoft axed its quality-assurance teams many moons ago, the fact that Microsoft’s beta teams have now given up (?) means that that a critical user-facing organization is being led by who, exactly? At some point Microsoft is going to have clean this up before moving on to Windows 12.
