I do agree that generally when we refer to the fediverse, we mean ActivityPub federation. I also just wanted to point out that ActivityPub is not synonymous with fediverse.

Lmao, you can see the door is Ina different position below the dog, probably because the table it is standing on is removed and replaced with a picture of the door without it.
It is federated, just with other Matrix protocol servers. Just like how email is federated.
Element is default E2EE for 1-to-1 direct messaging. Rooms require setting up encryption.
WebCord supports it.
Minimizing installed apps does help in some ways with security (idk your personal reason) but I prefer to never even render Google pages directly because of all the embedded trackers and the browser fingerprinting vector.
Freetube desktop app works well.
Unique to you, shared between your different browsers.
Except for shared unique similarities. Fingerprinting designers know "not all data is good data" and will then filter out bad data and use hard to change charateristics, like hardware or software similarities, which can enable cross-browser fingerprinting.
Lying about your host OS does nothing to protect against OS fingerprinting. Your OS can still he determined through the differences in how each OS renders and handles the Browser, and underlying architectural differences between browsers on each OS.
This is true. I still agree that closed source OSes are not private or as secure as if they were open source. Something like deblobbed AOSP (DivestOS) is better because it has strong sandboxing, full system MAC policies, and vastly reduced attack surface to google Android (or Apple). Desktop does not have a strong enough threat model, wish it was better.
Sadly, KDE Plasma has not yet secured the windowing protocols, so applications can freely record your screen. Only GNOME stops this ATM. Not a deal breaker, and KDE plans on improving this. Still a security risk.
