Right now I donβt think Proton would do much better than existing options. There are browsers on different ends of the privacy to convenience spectrum (and these are all Gecko based):
- Firefox: decent privacy by default without changing any settings
- Librewolf: Firefox but with hardened settings for privacy
- Mullvad Browser: Almost the same as Tor but not on the Tor network, which is admittedly slow
- Tor: Uses the Tor Network and by default very hardened for Privacy but makes lots of convenience and QoL tradeoffs, including letterboxing to common browser resolutions.
I installed the app from FDroid and it does in fact have on-device blocklists.
I did a search and found this comment, https://reddit.com/r/rethinkdns/comments/1f7ydjo/git_vs_fdroid_google_play_app_version/
After
v055b
, we hit numerous bugs (and unbelievably difficult ones) in our WireGuard integration. Releasedv055c
and subsequent versions to fix the most annoying bugs among them.We paused Play Store builds at
v055e
because each new version since has had its own glaringly annoying bugs (that were of course fixed in the subsequent versions). Why? Play Store brings in the most number of Rethink users (per our estimate), and we decided to halt publishing there until we can figure out how to stablize Rethinkβs feature-set affected by WireGuard.Pausing roll-out like this is a one-off.
Typically, you can expect all flavours (GitHub / Website / Play Store & F-Droid) to be at the same version.
If youβre feeling particularly adventurous: You can temporairly seamlessly update (without having to reinstall) to the GitHub / Website version if youβre currently using Rethink installed from the Play Store. And then later, when Play Store catches up, update from Play Store again.
