https://simplex.chat/ is what I use and would recommend instead of signal

Element is the best option for people who need the “discordlike” features such as sub “room” in a community

You can totally get by with just making multiple simplex groups IMO but some people coming from discord don’t like that

Duck.AI on tor browser

Look into fcast (its Foss)

If they are criminals?? Brother we are all gonna be criminals soon

Match? That’s unlikely to happen anytime soon (or at all)

OK Mr. Mishima

Yes, simplex never had this kind of device linking because they correctly identified it as insecure

Orion. It can use Firefox, and chrome extensions

Privacy =/= security

I’d like to take this opportunity to say Mullvad browser is maintained by Mullvad and Tor Project which in my eyes sets it way apart from these hobby forks (including librewolf)

Ironfox is a better choice if you want something hardened/security focused

Way worse afaik, not security focused at all

https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js/issues/1906

Not sure about the health of librewolf either, this thread suggests it’s 3 overworked parttimers unable to keep up

“Hey all, I’m on the LibreWolf team, and it’s true that since the departure of @fxbrit the project has taken a total nosedive when it comes to keeping up to date with Arkenfox and settings in general. We’re still making releases, but settings did not get updated.”

“As @threadpanic said, since fxbrit left we have been in a kind of “maintenance” mode in terms of settings. Mainly because we are really only three people left”

“LW since fxbrit left/died/who-knows has gone to shit - I worked with him behind the scenes to make the right choices and while he would do his own analysis, we always agreed, and his voice influenced them. Now they don’t know what they are doing, and in fact have compromised security and make really stupid decisions. Same goes for all the other forks - really dubious shit going”

I use mullvad browser as it’s maintained by mullvad and tor project and avoid stuff like Zen/floorp completely

deleted by creator

I use it for IRL contacts mostly

There are directories for groups, here is the official one (others contain lots of porn)

https://simplex.chat/docs/directory.html

What kind of group were you thinking of?

Also add bypass paywalls clean 👍

Yes, fennec is nowhere near as hardened/privacy/security focused

Hell yeah. We’ve been using it as our main comms for almost a year and love it

Simplex chat is a hardened fork that does not require any phone number and can be completely self hosted

You can quickly spin up new identities to give out, I get the network effect with signal is big but simplex is perfect for this use case so I felt like mentioning it
