that's... false?

There is default encryption and you can enable stricter and contact storage and force highest transport encryption in the settings.
It also supports PGP

I don't think you understand what "open source" means then?

To put it simply: a programme using a license that guarantees certain freedoms.

Chromium uses such a license: the 3-Clause BSD license

please don't insult the FSF like that by comparing it to the LF...

The FSF might be unpragmatic and (thus) often horribly out of date, but it's neither opportunistic nor engaged in corporate bootlickery.

At some times it can even be dogmatic, but you can at least mostly depend on it keepig it's spine and vision!
(even if I partially disagree with it, as it's doctrine does not take political economy — and thus the root problem that is capitalism — into account)

Isn't that objectively a false statement?

Is there any reason to use this over Librewolf?

average Phoronix forum user unfortunately 💀

but Phoronix' journalism is good

(which is why I only read the articles through my RSS readers and never go on the site or associated forums)

that's the thing though, it strips you of the options the four essential freedoms provide.

and imo it's not rly an argument. Libre software is free as in freedom and not necessarily free as in beer. You could license it under the (A)GPL, charge for downloads in the Play store or for compiled binaries on ur website and ask for donations on F-Droid.

You could even do a freemium version where some features are locked in the binaries you distribute and need a license from ur website or smth (for those who don't want to use Google Play). (iirc SD Maid 2/SE does this)

unfortunately Futo seems to only be source-available and not libre software :/

though I can +1 the Heliboard recommendation! idk when they added it but it finally has a multilingual keyboard function :)
