Signal went on the record saying that usernames would go live in the first half of 2023. Obviously that didn’t happen. Now we hear that they should be released this year.

What do you think? Are we actually gonna see usernames this year?

Thanks. The issue I personally have with those tests is that they compare browsers using their default settings, which makes sense. It wouldn’t scalable to test every setting combination for every browser.

So I wonder how Safari would fare if it’s used exclusively in Private Mode with ad measurement and cross-site tracking disabled.

AFAIK browser extensions on iOS are only available for Safari.

Thanks for the tip. I haven’t checked privacy guides in a while. I’ll definitely give their recommendation a try.

Do you use Focus exclusively? Or you use another browser for bookmarks, logged in browsing, tabs, etc. ?

Count me out. Let me know when you revive the chat room on Matrix.

Given that all iOS browsers have to use Webkit for rendering, are there any privacy benefits in using say Firefox or Brave on iOS over stock Safari?

Why would you wanna do that? I personally don’t shop at stores based on whether I believe their stock would do well in the future.
