That's true, but once you trust a new device, there's no reason the authority (your phone that has all history) couldn't transfer the history over to the new client.

I get it would add some complexity, but it could be done in a secure and private way.

What about bank apps and nfc? Do those work or are you just out of luck if you need them on graphene or lineage?

Win-win.

I see what you did there.

Even with that I still don't get it. Is that a theoretical max speed?

Sure. Budlite is still worse.

Not sure if joking or not, because Stella is miles better than budlite. Might still be bad, but it's not even in the same stratosphere as budlite.

I appreciate the good faith you're putting into this. I tend to lean your way, but it's interesting to see this discussion play out. Thanks for being respectful. I appreciate it, even though (up to this comment) I'm just observing the thread.

Article removed because it doesn't meet their editorial standards.

It shifts from the isp to the VPN provider, who isn't doing that profiling yet.

Firefox for Android does support them fully, it's just desktop Firefox that doesn't have pwa support.

I agree on WEI, and that's the scary part since crappy companies will demand it in the name of security and everyone gets fucked and the Internet becomes a little less free.

To use the feature or not, sure, but you can't use the feature and not be tracked.

I was more meaning that WhatsApp could include a custom signal build inside WhatsApp.

I robbed my self of that ability accidentally, because I preferred cs 1.3/4/5 and it was won only, so I actively avoided 1.6 like the plague and with it steam. Then halflife 2 came out and I bit the bullet.

Servers ain't free. But they could at least roll the expansion cost into the subscription.

Not sure you have a choice, other than to opt out.

That's too bad, but I'm not sure how they can enforce it since anyone can build their own version of the signal client, nothing stopping WhatsApp from doing something like that.

Is there a way to sign in with Microsoft account and not upload your key to the cloud?

This also makes me wonder if Android does the same thing with its device encryption, since you must login with a Google account.

I think the issue is that on mobile especially, switching contexts between apps is incredibly difficult compared to desktop and as such it's easier for one app maker to include everything so it can contest switch more easily. The "share" mechanisms on Android and iOS are great for the common use cases but harder for more nuanced things.

That and keeping you within their ecosystem drives engagement which increases profit.

If it were that easy, someone would have done it already.
