The list is in no particular order. When we re-did the page a year ago it was ordered based on how many areas of the criteria were met.

With ProtonMail their product provided the most encryption at rest.

All subsequent listings have been ordered based on date.

@sir

It might shock you, but most people who use email do not own their own domain.

We clearly state there that you cannot use your own domain with Posteo.

The idea is a reader would consider which option there is most appropriate to their needs.

@sir

All email is about trust. Remember there's a fair amount of metadata in the header of each email too.

Your second point there is about perspective. It is secure from a remote adversary.

They also clearly do state (as all providers do) that they will comply with the laws within Switzerland. https://protonmail.com/blog/transparency-report/

Hosting your own email doesn't protect you from this either, as they could easily turn up to your DC provider or covertly install bugs in your house too.

@sir

I have also run my own mail before myself, and have set them up for commercial clients.

@sir

They're pretty clear about what is encrypted:

https://protonmail.com/support/knowledge-base/what-is-encrypted/
https://protonmail.com/blog/protoncalendar-security-model/

Just because someone disagrees with you, does not make them a shill. Personally I do not use ProtonMail (though I have tested it thoroughly). I have a number of mail accounts, mailbox.org, disroot.org, and one hosted at privacytools.io.

That is not to say I think ProtonMail is a bad product however and have recommended it on numerous occasions to people both IRL and through PrivacyTools.

@barbanegra @sir

I'd consider https://github.com/ghacksuserjs/ghacks-user.js

The about:config keys we have mentioned on the site are a small subsection of the ones there. I personally use ghacks-user.js and think they're awesome.

That part of the page is due for some updating.

@sir

PrivacyTools provides a baseline considered to be reliable and safe based upon criteria and general consensus. We constantly improve and refine.

We always encourage people within our community to consider their threat model. Not everyone needs "dial up to 11" security which usually comes at the cost of UX, or requires substantial background knowledge.

If the choice is between having something or nothing, we encourage people to think about what they need.

Disclosure, I'm a team member.

Its clear where you're heading with this. You also know nothing about what color I am. https://youtu.be/76hDlTlW-Yk

The tone of your of your posts suggests you seem to be purposefully writing them with the intention of creating controversy disguised as debate.

They have practically one of every account for every platform.

> He promotes at least one german neo-nazi at his youtube channel. That youtube channel is promoted from the whonix webpage.

Link? All I see is two YouTube videos from 7 years ago demonstrating Whonix.

You are claiming we support Gab, we are not endorsing that product and never have, just as we would not endorse Facebook.

@syster @isolategab @privacytools

It is a bit disingenuous to take a single comment.

The context of that was I don't control what other people do (nor can I).

The issue was discussed in some detail https://github.com/privacytools/privacytools.io/pull/1969#pullrequestreview-442128671

The argument that because we're not in agreement we're in support of white supremacists and fascists, is ridiculous.

It's the same argument used by politicians when invading civil liberties and privacy ala: "If you're not with us you're helping terrorists and pedophiles".

@syster @danarel @andreas @privacytools

It is a bit disingenuous to take a single comment.

We are not endorsing Gab. Whonix, was already listed, and the upgrade to a card is us moving away from "worth mentioning" titles.

This was discussed in some detail: https://github.com/privacytools/privacytools.io/pull/1969#pullrequestreview-442128671

@jonah It's probably pulling that from /proc/cpuinfo or something. It looks to be the FPUs (that processor has 24).

@sir I think it's a love/hate relationship hey.
