Basically think of it as a SDK for defining data deletion on a platform. Omitme handles all the annoying stuff like account storage, building a CLI/GUI & sessions.

The core of Omitme is Seleniumwire used to grab login session tokens for platforms & HTTPX for making requests with those session tokens. Then you simply define you data deletion “targets” and the API calls to delete such data.

Also to note, that Purplix does warn users to assume the site has been compromised if the latest statement has expired.

has been a old and off project for a few months. Would call it niche in terms of people who care about e2ee tools, but in general how insecure surveys are shouldn’t be as common place as it is.

Thanks for expressing your interest in a blog, could be interested.

The amount of Firefox fanboys who will get mad at you for mentioning Android Firefox missing per-site process isolation. I’ve basically made the choice to not mention it anymore because I always get harassed whenever I do lol…

Firefox on desktop is awesome, Mobile should be avoided.

not sure how I’m being smug (please point to my excessive pride in my achievements) but okay, “harassed” is deffo a overstatement but I’m just sick of people like this lemmy.nz/comment/1506835 while I’m trying to help people.

But aside that, people shouldn’t be a asshole to someone just because they come off smug 🤷

Ward, 9 months ago (edited 9 months ago)

How did I disregard it? He literally provided a reference what countered his own point.

Like please, if you actually have a point to make. I’d love to know how he corrected me at all.

I think trashing is a overstatement, I’m providing references to my point (Also I LOVE firefox and use it on my desktop what i mentioned! It lacks basic security features on Android, that is not trashing on Firefox!) and I was deffo a bit hostile because he was obviously responding in bad faith.

Ward, 9 months ago (edited 9 months ago)

yes you must not be federated.

My other comment what you must be referring to is “most insecure android stack”, doesn’t have references I agree & it probably should (thats why i edited it to include them) but its also on people to do their own research and if someone is commenting that their stack is insecure, maybe that person could ask me why or do a little research themselves (instead of just downvoting. Or they could just downvote & ask a question too!).

Also I’m not saying down votes is “harassment” thats insane, people can down votes as much as they want. I’m just over people unwilling to see insecurities after I provide references (like in the comment you can’t see responses to)

Shocker not every comment I make will be prefect & if people genuinely wanted to learn ask questions!

Also this whole idea that its a “negative attitude” is insane, I’m literally telling someone the software they use is insecure.

Ward, 9 months ago

I’m happy for you to provide references what prove me wrong.

about what i expected

Ward, 9 months ago

Its considered a highly experimental feature, so enabling it could result in unknown issues or even security issues.

Also Firefox still lacks isolatedProcess bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1565196

I’d imagine Firefox would enable Fission by default if it was actually ready.

Certbot is great when using Nginx (or Apache2), but if you can use a different engine. Its worthwhile checking out Caddy!

“This phone has a port I’m not going to use & I’m angry out of morals”

I’m still on a CRT because most new TV don’t have AVI for some reason, I convert AVI to HDMI on my CRT but its about the morals.

Ward, 9 months ago (edited 9 months ago)

if only USB C headphones existed, also 3.5mm jacks aren’t prefect and tend to snap and get warn out quite quickly.

But like your comment is completely beside the point, your allowed to want a headphone jack and u can freely dictate your purchasing habits due to that. But it isn’t anything to do with Morals

Ward, 9 months ago

yea original comment included something along the lines of “im not going to buy it even if i don’t need a 3.5mm jack, just out of morals”

From the article you linked yourself

Firefox calls per-site process isolation Fission and is enabled by default on desktop. Fission is not yet enabled by default on Android, and when manually enabled it results in a severely degraded/broken experience. Furthermore Firefox on Android does not take advantage of Android’s isolatedProcess flag for completely sandboxing application services.

Read before you send :)

I use Firefox on my PC, but as I stated Firefox on Android is lacking basic security features.

Ward, 10 months ago

haha cope harder friend, by default Firefox lacks site isolation. Enabling it is highly experimental 🤣 Before linking something and claiming I’m spreading misinformation (quite a serious claim to me because i spend my days coding foss privacy focused software) read the entire article 1st and when someone points out your wrong, learn how to take a loss. Also Android Firefox doesn’t take advantage of Android isolated processes, what Android chrome based browser’s do

Ward, 10 months ago

Oohh I know what must be happening, the highly experimental features you’ve enabled on Android Firefox must of messed up the pages. Explains why you can’t read.

Enjoy using your insecure browser 😘

Ward, 10 months ago

As I said I not a fan of Brave (mostly because of the crypto stuff), calling it spyware you could say is hhmmmm “misinformation”. Yes security and privacy are different concepts but they are closely linked. If your browser fails to stop malicious code from being executed, you might find this impacts your privacy.

Matter of facts is, Android Firefox lacks site isolation. Yes you can enable a highly experimental version of site isolation what will break your browser (admitted by your source) and may even fail to isolate sites altogether. Android Firefox doesn’t use isolated processes, a functionality what can’t be enabled.

I’m not sure what your goal is with this discussion, but obviously you don’t have any regard for privacy or security. Your arguments over semantics are obviously in bad fair (and not even accurate to the original discussion).

To reiterate for the millionth time, feel free to use Firefox on Android, I’m avoiding using Firefox due to large security concerns. Once Mozilla finishes implementing site isolation and process isolation, I’ll be the 1st one to move off Brave and into Firefox.

But for your own future reference, actually source articles what support your statements. Otherwise don’t get upset when someone points that out.

Ward, 10 months ago (edited 10 months ago)

Per-site process isolation is a powerful security feature that seeks to limit exposure of a malicious website/script abusing a security vulnerability. Firefox calls per-site process isolation Fission and is enabled by default on desktop. Fission is not yet enabled by default on Android, and when manually enabled it results in a severely degraded/broken experience. Furthermore Firefox on Android does not take advantage of Android’s isolatedProcess flag for completely sandboxing application services.

Obviously Firefox has it own data isolation, but this doesn’t matter if someone can execute bad actiing code due to lack of process isolation.
