Your phone is about to stop being yours.
Your phone is about to stop being yours.
Starting September 2026, a silent update, nonconsensually pushed by Google, will block every Android app whose developer hasn't registered with Google, signed their contract, paid up, and handed over government ID.
Every app and every device, worldwide, with no opt-out.
Google's proposed workaround for installing unverified apps requires 9 steps, a 24-hour wait, and runs through Play Services, which Google can modify at any time. It hasn't shipped in any beta. https://keepandroidopen.org #KeepAndroidOpen

Google Photos privacy flaw - private photos accessible with just a link (still not fixed after 18 months)
I found a privacy problem in u/Googlephotos. Anyone with a link can see private photos. No login. No password. Even in incognito mode.
Google closed my report and called it a "feature".
It has been over 18 months. Google still has not fixed this. I even emailed the CEO. Nothing happened.

Is Cape a honeypot or the greatest privacy anonymity tool developed in the last 5-10 years?
I won't say which I think, just that my opinion starts with an H and ends with oneypot.

Building a decentralized social network where banning you is architecturally impossible, it's open source, looking for contributors
The platforms we use to communicate have a kill switch. A human being at a company can silence you, throttle your reach, or just pull the plug entirely. I got tired of that being a fact of life and started building something where it isn't.
It's called Agora. No central servers. No moderators. No company. Identities are cryptographic keypairs, your handle is derived from your public key, no need for an email address or phone number. Posts travel over a DHT overlay. Everyone runs the full stack themselves.
What's working right now:
\- Encrypted DMs and group chats with forward secrecy
\- Following/blocking with shareable lists, moderation lives with you, not a central authority
\- Topic channels, local feed algorithm (runs on your machine, no remote black box)
\- Full multilanguage UI
\- User-friendly onboarding, no command line needed
IP hiding is implemented, you can route through Tor (embedded arti client, no external binary). But it's not fully hardened yet. There are edge cases in the DHT gossip layer where your real IP can leak, particularly around bootstrap connections. Until that's solid, running it behind a VPN at the OS level is the safer option. I'd rather tell you that upfront than pretend it's ready.
I need contributors, especially people who know Tor/I2P internals, DHT design, NAT traversal, or Rust async networking. That's the hardest unsolved part. But there's also frontend work, spam resistance, packaging, and translations.

Open source browser with no telemetry, no accounts, no server — the binary is the entire product
Built VoidBrowser because I wanted a browser where "we don't track you" is enforced by architecture, not policy. There's no server to collect data on. No analytics endpoint. No crash reporter. Nothing.
Blocks ads with 146K rules, spoofs fingerprints, forces HTTPS, encrypts bookmarks, wipes everything on close. 6 MB, open source.

What's the best VPN right now?
I’m trying to figure out which VPN people on Reddit actually think is the best in 2026. It feels like every review site has a different top pick, and honestly, the sheer volume of conflicting opinions is making my head spin. I’ve been trying to find something reliable for a while now, especially since my old free VPN started acting up and I’m tired of constantly worrying about my data when I’m on public Wi-Fi. I just want to pick one and stick with it without feeling like I’m getting ripped off or compromising my privacy.
I keep seeing the same names pop up everywhere: NordVPN, ProtonVPN, and Mullvad. NordVPN seems to be the popular choice for speed and streaming, but I’ve heard some mixed things about their past. I want a VPN that’s strong on privacy and security, but I also need decent speeds for streaming and general browsing. I’m not really into torrenting, but I do want something that can bypass geo restrictions for a few specific services. Has anyone had recent experiences with these providers, or are there any other hidden gems I should be looking into? I’d really appreciate some honest, up to date feedback on what people are actually using and why.

NitroWall NW750
I'm still pretty new to everything tech related, I understand the very basics so far but I am having a hard time determining if the NitroWall NW750 is worth getting.
From what I understand the NW750 does the same job a VPN would do or using Tor on your smartphone.
What benefits compared to just using mullvad does it come with?
What is it's purpose?
Is it worth getting? Yes, No, why?

Problem
Hi folks, new here sorry to bother, i have some questions.
I recently switch from s24Ultra to Pixel9 due to privacy reasons and switched to GrapheneOs, but:
- the battery life of the new phone is ridiculous, lasting maximum 9 h (while the old S24U lasted 2 days)
- lots of important apps (such electronical identity authentification, SPID, and bank apps) are not functioning at all.
QUESTION 1:
I really want to stick with GraphebeOs but those are real concern in real life world, can you guys help me?
QUESTION 2:
does it have actually any sense to stay with Graphene0s with those and other limitations, - if I have to use a SIM Card in it?
- when my S24U is fully degoogle, the settings are privacy enforced, I am using only E2EE FOSS app, and following every other suggestions from Micheal Bazzell, theHatedOne and NaomiBrockweel???)
Thanks a lot, I still have some days to have a refund for the new phone.

I was suspended on Instagram for supposedly acting like a bot. It’s asking for real time face video authentication for an appeal. I find this to be an invasion of my privacy and I’d rather use a nonexistent person to do this. Thanks!

A new privacy‑first Android security layer — zero tracking, zero analytics, zero cloud
I’ve been building something for people who actually care about privacy, not the “privacy‑themed but still tracking you” apps you see everywhere.
It’s called VARYNX, and it’s a lightweight, on‑device security layer for Android.
No telemetry.
No analytics.
No cloud calls.
No data collection of any kind.
Everything runs locally.
Everything is transparent.
Nothing leaves your device.
I built it because I was tired of “security apps” that require an account, phone number, or cloud backend just to function. VARYNX doesn’t do any of that.
If you want to try it, the Open Testing build is live on Google Play:
Open Testing:
https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.varynx.app
Store Listing:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.varynx.app
If you’re into privacy, threat modeling, or just want a security layer that isn’t selling your data behind your back, I’d genuinely appreciate feedback from this community. "NOT SPAM" I'm trying to show that some one actually did it make something the big guys wont do.

Hate Netflix ad to the gut
And no I don’t have money for premium . Anyone else hate the Brigham cancer center ad on Netflix ? It’s stressful and louder than the shows ever are , it distresses my pets every time and it has been going on for what feels like 3 months 💀 i swear it needs to stop, I’m so annoyed by it at this point, and there is no way that I am aware of of blocking a specific ad like on YouTube on Netflix 😭 please tell me I’m not the only person who hates this one ad? The rest of the ad version is fine, they’re way better than on Disney plus🫣
