And now they go silent.

The hypocrisy never ceases to amaze.

If you're aligned with the west, anything goes, without consequences. If not, you're a terrorist whether you like it or not.

Competition is going to make things cheaper and the global markets has significant effect in world politics. Why do you think US defends Taiwan so much? because of the kindness in their hearts? Get real.

This has been proven time and again throughout history. It's probably a bit strange because of your prejudice.

The rest of us can't wait for competition to make it affordable at large and not being bound by monopolies. Everyone gets to choose where to buy the chips from. If that doesn't alter world politics you're too out of touch from reality.

Everyone wins except people like you. I guess.

You really shouldn't be using software that is in alpha stage of development, as the only browser.

There may be bugs and vulnerabilities no one has run into yet and bork your browser data.

The article is exaggerating the guy's setup way too much. Opsec doesn't end at the application level... The OS (the most popular being in bed with US), ISP, tor nodes, Honeypot VPNs, so on and so on could leave a trail.

Using telegram public groups and obfuscating a calculator as a password protection layer is hillbilly level of security.

And i'm glad these fuckos don't have the knowledge to go beyond App developers marketing.

It never ceases to amaze me how iPhone users think a bump in a version years down the road, keeps them secure while the browser in iOS needs whole god damn system update to upgrade.

You wait for that patch for a Safari vulnerability for whenever Apple feels like it but Android devs can push patch and deploy within days or hours. And also sideload it, if a really important fix would take a long time through regular channels. And also there's more than 1 browser engine on Android, so all users aren't vulnerable to the same exploit at the same time.

But hey, keep on swallowing that Apple marketing wholesale though.

Doesn't Google play store also modify and build the binary themselves to "generate and deliver APKs that are optimized for each device configuration, providing users with more efficient apps"?

So they can make a very convincing case for a backdoor, in exchange for his release. And maybe some compensation for continued cooperation. Both come out winning and they get to claim nothing happened.

Government cyber security dealings as usual. or not. who knows?

yea let's just forget about the illegality of those things and how companies, ISPs and law enforcements fight tooth and nail to shut those services down repeatedly.

You ever wonder why these companies don't operate in countries that don't have strict piracy laws and can't shut down sites with court orders? Because it's still easier to pirate than face criminal charges.

WTF. I would fucking love barebones launcher. I was holding off using epic launcher because it was so laggy and slow when it first came out. I was using legendary before, but stopped using Epic altogether. Might just give it a try again.

I'm starting to feel steam is getting bloated and plain annoying. I just want a launcher to launch a game and pair with my friends after a long day at work. I don't want a crappy browser following me around in the background. I already have a browser if I need it. We use a different app for voice so could do away with all the other bs as well.
