OpenAI feature is called Murena Voice to Text, so users don’t know, it’s OpenAI. They use tracking ids in their own update process. They ignore critique.
Graphene is currently only available for Google devices and therefore no alternative.
Lineage contains connections to Google as well.
Recommending iOS is ridicolous.
UltraVision fully respects your privacy
Furthermore, any info you personally insert into the app, such as your name and email address, is stored on US-based servers
Lol, immediate contradiction.
Answer to your question: Only local/offline is privacy respecting. Anything else is naif
/e/OS is not Google free (several calls, integrations and so on are connecting to Google). It makes use of OpenAI as well, uses tracking ids for updates. It is far behind regarding updates and thus risking privacy due to lack of security. They ignore any sort or critique.
Graphene: You have to buy a Google device. Even second hand is support as it increases the value of their devices (or stabilize) and you walk arround with their name.
Advice: Have a look at Iode.
Pick a device that is not meant to be used for many years as Graphene plans to support a non Google device in coorporation with an unknown manufacturer.

Your users expect “Sign in with Google” and “Sign in with Apple.”
Doubt it. Good app? They will use it anyway. How do they register for Google and Apple?
If you want Claude, and I very much want Claude, that’s Anthropic, that’s the US.
If you want EU, stop wanting Claude then. What’s the point here?
Great answer. Instead of valid critique simply behave.
Childish attitude. It definitely makes a difference walking arround with a Google logo. If it’s okay for you: fine, says alot.
One should avoid giving money and presenting Google (and others) wherever and whenever possible.
It is not. It is better than bloated Google Android but not “great”.
That is exactly such a mentioned third party alternative
Never use Chromium based browsers as it is coming from Google and gives it more power. The only alternative is Gecko / Firefox based: Fennec for Android and Librewolf for desktop.
Break free from Google with buying Google product? Lol
Nice hint. Thanks!
What are you talking about?
This man is a lyer. /e/ os is not degoogled but tgey keep saying it. They ignore critique regarding their very slow updates. They introduced OpenAI but labeled it as a Murena feature, so that user could think, it is a valid service but data is sent to USA. Critique was ignored and labeled as personal harrasment. Wtf.
Yes, /e/ has much less Google integrated but their service, their communication, their promissises and their security is a laugh.
After his last response to the AI integration, I realized that he is not willing to accept valid critique and they will go on what we usually call ‘enshitification’
I only know two visble options in terms of credibility and costs per feature ratio: Posteo and mailbox.
Proton should be avoided since their descructive behaviour regarding critique and their baclground. Tutanota is to be avoided since they only support their own client. That leaves us with no flexibility and a smack of something.
This happens unfortunately more often since a year or so with Tor as well. It should not depend on DNS because I use always Mullvad. I guess, it’s a weird blocking behaviour.
That’s why I switched to brave and use startpage much less
Your post is really straining.
You don’t get several points regarding monitoring. An evolving browser hast to be monitored for these anti features because new ones could be added at any time and thus has to be disabled immediately.
‘Claim’ to help is correct. While AI can have benefits, is is advertised as always helpful and has to be integrated into a browser. And that’s two different points with the latter one being wrong. The opposite will be the case. People will lose their ability to think, analyze and decide by themselfes.
they’re building AI so deeply into Firefox that an opt-out mechanism becomes necessary in the first place
That’s such terrible logic. If something has an opt-out, it has to be “so deeply” built into it?
If you don’t get it, I can’t help you.
Article says: A causes B.
You argue: B causes A?
Your following examples are pointless unfitting as well.
Maybe you should take a deep breath and consider a factual view instead of pseudo arguments.
When it comes to far-right, you should avoid Italy. Poland currently is okay, but it could change after next election. Austria is a bit problematic as well but nearly okay. I think, Germany is best choice though the CDU/CSU try to shift to more right decisions.
Friendly people can ve found in every of these countries but also unfriendly ones. Don’t know which one to favor.
