Recently they want to throw them out of helicopters like Pinochet. Really, look it up.

If you’re in the EU or Japan, possibly. My guess is really doing it right (without impact on battery life) would require root. Or Apple supporting it officially with apis and everything.

Yeah that’s probably the best solution but like you say, pretty inelegant.

Here’s another one— click through on macOS. Coming from other systems I find it infuriating. Not just the click though itself but its inconsistency, where it works in browsers and some other selected programs but not in most.

For those not aware, click through is when you’re focused on another window and click on this one. With click through, it will immediately action what you click without you have to click first to the window then click again. This isn’t inherently inferior, but I really don’t like it personally. And it is absolutely impossible to change this behavior on MacOS by any means. Believe me, I researched this extensively.

Sorry, right, I was referring to iOS. On macOS I use Alfred for clipboard history. Works great.

Complete lack of support for clipboard history. This annoys me daily.

Yeah that’ll block all ads and trackers that’re possible without severe annoyance with a non fingerprinted browser etc.

Specifically, the way iOS content blocking works is guaranteed safe. All it does is write to a file loaded by the Safari browser to block content, the app can’t do anything at all itself. No indication any VPN sold by AdGuard (or the local device-wide fake VPN) is particularly unsafe that I’ve seen.

It’s less that Twilio specifically owns it than problems resulting from corporate ownership. Briefly:

1. You can’t get your data out of Authy. Actually you can, but it’s a long annoying process involving installing an out of date chrome extension and using developer tools.
2. Privacy issues. Authy links a lot of data including location to your identity.
3. Authy supports SMS account recovery (which is inherently insecure) and doesn’t allow users to disable it.

Android is easy, Aegis.

IOS is much harder. Right now, probably “2FAs”. Authy is owned by Twilio, Raivo was just bought out by an advertising company, and the others are either too small to get the exposure required for any level of security or charge for the feature.

Clearly it will be monetized in some way. Otherwise why would they have bought it?

I just tried “2FAs”, which seems to be the most recommended free one. It failed to import any 2FAs from the Raivo export with 7 digits, but otherwise worked fine. Problem is it failed to import silently, didn’t give any errors, which was offputting. Using it for now, but Raivo was better software. Pouring one out.

From what I can see on their website, the 2FA feature is only available if you pay $1/month. No gratzie.

There’s zero evidence of any wrongdoing or shadiness other than them having employees living in Russia. The company itself moved to Cyprus, many of their engineers left Russia, none of their servers are physically located in Russia, and they publicly disavowed Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

This doesn’t mean Russia couldn’t apply massive pressure by threatening family members, etc, of course, but I personally have no concerns at this time and use AdGuard Home (their local adblocking DNS server) in my LAN and their iOS app on my devices. The iOS app in particular uses Apple’s content-blocking Safari tech so it should be completely safe so long as you don’t pay for a VPN or use a local VPN to block everything outside Safari.

If you’re rooted on Android, definitely use AdAway instead, it just replaces the hosts file.

I’m all for open source alternatives to bitwarden but this is non competitive with a mandatory subscription fee. Bitwarden is completely free for most users.
