  • Ultimately you will have to make some concessions in regards to privacy. Most people aren’t going to install Signal just to talk to you because it does not fit their use case.

    I’m also gen z and from the US, I go to university, and most people who I know use Whatsapp or Discord to communicate. While Whatsapp is not perfect, their messages are end-to-end encrypted, which is much better than most other mainstream platforms (I would honestly say that it is better than Telegram). Discord can at least be accessed through a browser with an email alias.

    My preference for communication would be:

    Best realistic case: Whatsapp or iMessage (if you have an Apple device)

    Reluctantly use: Discord, Instagram, Telegram, SMS, any messenger that can be accessed through the browser without installing an app











  • I have a Pixel phone, but I don’t use a custom ROM on it. I still depend on some Google services and apps for school and work.

    I use NextDNS to block ads system-wide so I would probably stick with Vanadium instead of Cromite just to save memory. However, I would still use either Mull or Fennec F-droid as my main browser on mobile.





    1. Cromite is an improvement to Bromite, so yes.

    2. There are some things here or there that could be added, but it seems like a good browser for now.

    3. The current developer has worked on Bromite in the past, so if you trusted Bromite I don’t see a reason not to trust Cromite.

    4. It’s not listed because it was just released and I believe it was mentioned on Privacy Guides forums that the team is looking into it and may consider adding it to the recommended tools at some point.

    5. Yes, I currently use Cromite as a back-up browser and Mull as my main browser.

    Vanadium is built specifically for security. It lacks privacy features such as an ad blocker. It is also only available on GrapheneOS. Cromite seems much easier to recommend from a privacy stand point as the use case for Vanadium is very specific.
