RE: Basic Security Seems Too Often Forgotten

in #startpage7 years ago

I was using Tormail when that was around. I use an app called "TURTL" to securely store notes. There's Mark Cuban's "Dust" formerly called Cyberdust secure messages that disappear after a time.

Sort:  

and Brave Browser by former Mozilla CEO(cant remember his name)

Yeah, I tried Brave briefly when I got my Note 8, but could never get it to work properly. So I still use StartPage (which I have set up to load FireFox), or FireFox Focus, which eliminates all browsing history upon closing.

I've heard of Dust, but have never used it.

Signal has an option for setting up self-destructing messages that disappear with a time limit. Thus far I haven't needed it, because if I have anything really sensitive to send, I simply send it to another Signal account, but it's nice to have the option.

Yeah, I liked Tormail and Hushmail, but neither was without its issues. At this point, I've been using Protonmail for about three years, and recommend it highly. It is as easy to use as Gmail but FAR, FAR more secure, and the paid version gives more options while still being inexpensive.

I'll check out TURTL. Thanks for the heads up.

Grabbing Signal and getting on Protonmail. Thanx again
