This will not be the first time a root CA certificate has expired and I imagine it will follow the same trend as previous expirations where things break.

Translation: literally nothing is happening nor will ever happen, since they’re simply going to reissue the certificate with a new date of expiry. Like every other certificate ever.

Proton is the end of a long-overdue overhaul of the UI to fit with the modular, quicker backend, if I understand it correctly. The addon API was more painful but similar. Both should have happened a long time ago, and would have saved countless developer time spent on the old codebase.

They could have done it all at once with a full experimental browser again, which is what Phoenix originally was. But that doesn't fit with the branding and telemetry obsession Mozilla has.

It's not as bad as they make it out.

Isn't it because Firefox is made by Mozilla who is paid by Google who created their very own spyware Chromium and has an interest since then to slowly strangle the life out of Firefox?

It all started around 2011 and all the decisions since then cannot be explained away with coincidence or mere incompetence.

To be fair, if you're the type of person who may draw any amount of attention to yourself then it's really up to you to use the tools made available to you to keep yourself private.

Sounds like they didn't utilize the onion service. Sounds like they didn't do enough on their own to protect themselves.

While I know this looks bad for ProtonMail, the reality is that service providers aren't investigative units and can only share what information you give them to share when given a lawful order to do so.

If you don't like the ad scripts move to LBRY desktop app. Odysee has a sustainable business model but if you want control of your content and you don't want to be tracked use the desktop app and Peertube isn't sustainable because it has no business model behind it expect tips but LBRY has LBC. Also LBRY Desktop app is open source and more stable than Odysee.

It's believable, because Vimeo always leaned lefty.

But were they paid members? Did the membership lapse, making some unavailable? Do the missing videos say they were removed for any particular reason?

I don't see any posts on covid19criticalcare.com from the 10th, and the 11th ones don't look related. Do you have a link to their post or to the posts with missing videos?
