Before going to university with a Linux Laptop, Linux PC (Waterfox) and Graphene OS on the Phone with Mull as Browser, I wonder how I can get a more comfy or efficient life. I never had the idea to sign in to Firefox Pocket because I thought an entity would be able to read the bookmarks.
I wanna know details about it, why and why not should I use it? Is it even encrypted?
Open source and security are orthogonal concepts. I trust independent security audits, which can be done on FOSS and proprietary software.
I’m not sure if Pocket has done that, but that would be my benchmark. I don’t use Pocket because the functionality doesn’t interest me.
I never talked about security. I said trust.
Closed source can tell you something is encrypted but never encrypts it. Closed source can tell you it’s never sent to third parties for processing and do that the entire time. Closed source can make any other claim and you will have to trust them because you can’t verify it.
Open source is the first step of trust. Without that, I trust you much less. With it, I trust you a little more. Not completely. More. At least more than closed source.
