#Fennec #FDroid has not been updated in months and apparently has known vulnerabilities. So which webbrowser are #privacy contious #Android users using these days? There is always #Mull & #Mulch from #DivestOS, I suppose. #Firefox

Genuine question: what threat model does the "app locking via screenlock" on many #Android apps like #Signal, #Nextcloud #Talk and many other apps follow?

Anyone with further insights? #security #privacy
