I am now using disroot . I don't care about anonymity or anything as I just wanna use it to connect to my bank, ID and buy/book shit etc. Which all have my phone number, address, name etc anyway so no point in that . I just want the security privacy to be good enough that no one can easily hack it, steal my OTP, inbox etc and I want it to be big and trusted enough that they won't sell it/sell it and go Scott free also gmail asks email or phone number for verification and then brick acc if I don't comply so I'd like to skip those kind of ones . Is disroot enough for my uses ? Also I'd like a free one as I barely use emails like 3 or 4 times a year .

Why do they hate JS so much? Haven't they used the modern internet?

[–] kevincox@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 months ago

Because proprietary JS is non-free software and they are against running non-free software.
