Have fun! Don’t hesitate to ask me via DM if you have a question or encounter any problems as I’d say I’m quite experienced with all the tools I listed.
In terms of security, Vanadium is better than Mulch. Mulch uses some of the patches of Vanadium, but it lacks many security improvements that are present in Vanadium. My current setup is Vanadium for tasks where high security is very important, and Mull for just standard browsing.
I use Vanadium for high-security tasks, but Mull is my default browser for standard browsing. It has better privacy, because it has built-in anti-fingerprinting mechanisms and you can actually install proper adblockers like uBlock Origin. Also, I don’t want to support Google’s monopoly on browser rendering engines by using a Chromium-based browser, so I prefer Mull which is based on Gecko.
For security: aegis (totp manager) , keepassxc/dx (password manager), veracrypt (local encryption) and cryptomator (cloud/mobile encryption). Thats it pretty much everythng else I use is more for privacy Edit: cant believe I forgot about ublock origin. it’s like a condom for the internet
my favourite "Cyber-Security-Tool"? None of those logos up there qualify for that descrption... well... Authy perhaps...
yet, my favourite "Cyber-Security-Tools" would be
Configs:
GrapheneOS, Signal, Vanadium, Mullvad VPN, extremely strict permissions. I don't do much with my phone, but I still need to know I'm in control of my privacy.
Sadly Plex collects some data about its users. I remember opting out of some telemetry stuff but I can't remember where that was. If you want a self-hosted streaming service like Plex that completely respects your privacy, Jellyfin is what you're looking for. I tried it and it's okay but not as good as Plex imo. But if your main focus is privacy then you should definitely check it out. It's FOSS.
Edit:
I found where I had to opt out some data collection for Plex. Open this site, scroll halfway down the page. You'lle see two checkboxes for "Send playback data to Plex" and "Advertising Consent".
Yeah I tried Jellyfin too but Plex is much better. I just threw it in the list because I figured it was better than having a bunch of video and music streaming services.
Ublock Origin as ads have lots of malware these days and browsing the internet is a normal occurance. I think looking at it that way it gets used far more than any other tool.
I have to say my faith in signal has been shattered since I got crosstalk on a signal conversation. I still can’t imagine how that’s possible but it was there, clear as day.
