  1. Well then Tutonota cant send anyone not using Tutanota email messages and MXtoolbox or other tools that can check for SMTP will say no stmp found, oh wait it says there is MX record and SMTP https://mxtoolbox.com/SuperTool.aspx?action=mx%3atutanota.de&run=toolpage STMP is not just for sending emails from client it is also means which email server communicate with other email server. Just because you cant connect to SMTP to send message does not mean it wont exist. If there is email server you can send email to there is SMTP on both ends. Now STMP can (and should be) wrapped in SSL/TLS tunnel where it is encrypted similar to HTTPS traffic but if encryption is breached it is readable. And all this time I am referring to standard email, one other side will receive. There are similar commercial solutions with ability to send link to protected mail server but that mail telling you got secured mail is still sent using SMTP between two mail servers. I highly recommend you do more research on email system before you start argue about this topic. I work almost daily with email servers and know how it runs under the hood on any of them. Even Microsoft Exchange despite using MAPI protocol uses SMTP to talk with other mail servers.

  2. I think you missed my point. Even though you send link trough email it is not standard email anymore as I cant read and answer it using email client of my choice. Tutanota and Proton while internally encrypting all still cant talk to outside world without utilising SMTP which is like sending your email on postcard. Even if over ssl it is just writing message to postcard using some secret language, if someone cracks it can read you message. Also you are relying on their server to be secured and not get compromised and even if they actually would be not storing encryption key on their server like they claim some hacker could just inject malicious javascript to steal your secret key and access all your mails. No system is hacker proof and point you become valuable enough target it is matter of time is hacked. And even if they made is hacker proof you still trust for them to run what they claim on their server. Unless you walked there without warning and scanned all server code you can only take their word for it. Showing server source code wont mean they run it on server side unless can inpsect the servers. On the other hand PGP I mentioned is standard and decryption key is only stored locally, if you try read email on server there is nothing to read. While there been exploit like Efail for PGP those been since patched and it did not affect Claws mail.

  3. FYI, this issue still exists in Mypal 68.14.0b. Just tested. Nevertheless, thanks for your new update and the changes to JavaScript in terms of local time and time zone! The functions .toLocaleString(), .toLocaleDateString() and .toLocaleTimeString() are working great now.

  4. Even worse they expect you to have whatever smartphone app for something. For example if I need pay someone something they want me to use app called Mobilepay for it and look me like I am crazy when I say I will pay with bank transfer or cash as in Finland transferring money between IBAN addresses is common and does not require any mobile app, it can be done by going to bank or from their website. Or I can just go ATM and get some cash to pay it which can be instantly verified and does work even if phone battery runs out. Some people also only store their train tickets on phone app and then whine when train is on area without cellular or phone battery runs out.

  5. Such as thing as secure email does not exist due to email nature. It was never built to be secure in first place. Even if you encrypt SMTP traffic with ssl and only access email using some client with perhaps even ip based blocking it is still not 100% secure. Solutions like that only add bandages into root issue. Point you are sending email outside "secure" provider it is as secure as on any other provider. Even if you use something like deltagon secure mail which many companies uses it does not offer full security as all i need is link for secure email and open it before original recipient does. And that email link is sent to any insecure email server. Even got SMS MFA to view secure messages there are means to intercept text messages (which i cant talk here) Closest for secure email is to use PGP to encrypt email but I just opt not send anything confidential over the email and treat it like sending postcards.

  11. @feodor2 I have installed your latest version Mypal 68.14.0b and tried it in multi-process mode. Unfortunately, I had big problems with uBlock Origin, no matter if the latest version 1.57.2 or the last version 1.46 which was still compatible with FF 68. It was no longer possible to load additional filter lists, and the extension was only in an error state. uBlock Origin became inaccessible, and the browser even hung after closing. Especially when I tried to load the default filter list AdGuard - Ads. I also disabled the hardware acceleration but unfortunately without any effect. Something is seriously broken. And it seems to be the same in the previous release Mypal 68.13.9b also only in multi-process mode. However, no problems in single-process mode. Any ideas? Or am I the only one having such problems?

  12. I think biggest issue is not email itself. Back in day it used to open protocol, it is companies trying lock you into their web apps these days for email access and block imap and pop3 access in name of security or atleast make it hard to access. Also many sites not allowing you to use more than few predefined email providers. I noticed that when switched into my custom email server, many sites says my email address is not allowed please use other provider. I can understand on spam standpoint maybe reduce it a bit but when been working on IT and email servers, most of spam comes from either free gmail or outlook addresses and rarely from new domains. Also big providers mark any email coming from custom email domain as spam even if SPF and DKIM records exists and are valid. It is fight against the windmills. What annoys me even more than requiring email is requiring smartphone app to verify yourself to some sites. Always asked about MFA that why do you need it everywhere, if you passwords are stored on piece of paper and are over 20 characters long. If you device where you logged in to MFA enabled service gets compromised, MFA wont help as they just use login token stolen from browser to access service. I am not saying that MFA is unneeded, in banking for example asking random number from piece of paper makes it harder for random transactions to be made but many people see using constantly internet connected spyware platform as more security option for MFA. I am lucky to be able still use what i have to use without needing smartphone and smartphone apps. If it has to go that point I will do all banking on their office.

  14. Well, that's the question for nVidia, I guess. nVidia swears it should work, officially. Look under the supported products. https://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/197673/en-us/ Probably you need to contact the laptop manufacturer. There's a well known fact when manufacturers implement artificial blocks against certain OS.

  18. Why open any window at all? And why minimize anything you have open in order to access a desktop shortcut? What you want is a utility that sits in your systray next to the clock. Hover over the icon, eject USB. Takes two seconds with no windows at all and only one mouse click. Zentimo xStorage Manager is one such utility. I'm sure that others exist as well.

  21. Update notification Mypal 68.14.0b has been released on Codeberg.org, Therefore, I updated the first post of this thread. In this version, the automatic update of extensions is not enabled. If you are interested in re-enabling this feature, simply read this instruction: Restoring the manual and automatic update function for extensions in Mypal 68.13.3b Altough written by me for an older release, this instruction is still valid for Mypal 68.14.0b.

  22. I also wish you a good evening and I understand why you don't wish to talk about javascript before eating ... that and a lot of other things all having to do with security causes me Nausea and can ruin ones appetite. I used to have preconceived notions but I've learned a lot just being here (since 2018) and from people such as yourself to better understand these things and make an effort to become as security conscious as possible without allowing paranoia to take hold - not always easy. EDIT: sorry about all the mistakes today typing.

  24. I sort of live a life in between (no extreme) just a few online places and no social media at all. Don't like phones or email either. Yeah where to draw the line, I guess. I used to trust people but over the years life has taught me to offer trust little (cautiously - only when earned) anymore regarding people (both online and IRL) I like to keep a low profile and I don't do things to draw attention to myself and if that means isolation; then so be it.

  25. Try Tutamail. By default (but you then change) it uses password encrypted email sending. In order for the recipient to read the email and possibly open attachments, they must know the password you chose during sending. The recipient of course is informed (via client-email) that he or she has received an email. Obviously all this assumes that you have a browser (the email is read using the web-mail method) set up reasonably well from a security/privacy standpoint. In the image the email received. Without a password it cannot be read.

  29. Back on topic, has anyone else using Thorium noticed it sometimes not loading web fonts? I've noticed it on this forum site which I use a lot - https://forums.digitalspy.com/ It looks fine in 360Chrome and Supermium, but not in Thorium, where it falls back to Times New Roman. The console shows many entries saying "OTS parsing error: Unable to instantiate font face from font data." I assume this is the cause.

  30. My interest in scripts is specifically for security/privacy. So I block all HTTP website scripts in the browser. Almost all links to malwares content are HTTP. But with a simple rule in uBO you can do the same.

  31. I have done a test to check the behavior of the Paragon GPT Loader driver with the 2TB limit in an XP system configured in IDE mode. After formatting my 4TB Seagate ST4000LM024 GPT disk in Win10, I started to fill it always in Win10 by copying in a progressive way the files numbered from 01 to 432 until to reach 2,194,897,825,792 bytes (at the end of the copy I made sure that all the files were uncorrupted): After connecting the disk to the XP system with Paragon GPT Loader installed, I first verified again that all files were not corrupted and then copied a single file to the disk reaching a total of 2,199,889,600,512 bytes: Checking once again the integrity of all files, I noticed that the first file copied a few days earlier (the one marked with the number 01) was now corrupt while all the others were intact. But on the next system reboot, here is what happened: The problem encountered is almost the same as the one I detected using the asmedia asahci32.sys driver in a system configured in SATA/AHCI mode. The difference, which is no insignificant, is that at least with the asmedia driver, by following the identical procedure above, the drive was still accessible in XP and other files were still correctly available although the 2,199,023,255,552 bytes limit was exceeded. At this point, I also have serious doubts whether the GPT Loader can effectively work on 3TB GPT disks. It certainly does not work on 4TB GPT disks.

  34. But now it's over. Stop this kind of multiple attacks! You seem to enjoy twisting the words and statements of others as it also can be read from you in other threads, though. There is no rule that I have laid down. Stop spreading such untruths! I am very polite by nature, but I can be different if required. So, first read, then think and maybe then write something would be more advisable!

  37. Not exactly true. There are publicly known ways of modern encryption to avoid that. Therefore, at best - they will know only the sites you connect to, but not traffic.

  38. You're welcome! This is what I understand by the term autoconfiguration: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/customizing-firefox-using-autoconfig My package MYPAL_68_CB_requirements.7z contains configuration files as the prerequisite for loading script and css files. Although these files are loaded automatically when starting the browser, the creators of these configuration files do not use the term autoconfiguration at this point. This is merely a question of defining the term.

  39. No, I do not use the property window.status. The script code for creating such a status bar has not grown out of my own hands, though. I simply took over an old script which is still working in Mypal 68. TBH, there are a couple of scripts but most of them are not compatible with Mypal 68. My part was finding working code. And that wasn't so easy due to the age of Firefox 68. Many scripts targeting this Firefox version have been lost or replaced by newer ones. However, I modified the css file for exact placing the status panel onto the status bar by myself. And the css file I am using is much more modified and exactly adapted to my browser, in which I also made changes to the interface font. This file is therefore useless for other users.

  41. Not only does it seem that way, but I have definitely implemented a toolbar as a status bar in Mypal 68 with the functionality to display currently loading URLs and hovered links and to place toolbar buttons there as you can see in my previously posted pictures. To achieve this, only two files are required, a JavaScript uc.js file in the chrome profile folder and a corresponding Cascading Style Sheet css file in the chrome/css subfolder. The css file must then of course be integrated into the userchrome.css file. The prerequisite for all this is, of course, the preparations that must be made once in order to be able to load scripts and css files from the chrome folder into Mypal 68 as described by me in the first post of this thread. So, I do not use a startup auto-configuration script. You only need, for example, my package MYPAL_68_CB_requirements.7z from the first post. And to implement an additional toolbar near the navigation bar for placing buttons, you only need one other JavaScript uc.js file. In general, the implemetation of a new toolbar can only be done by a JavaScript uc.js file and any styling of it if necessary or desired by a css file. Such changes of the browser interface cannot be done by webextensions due to their damn restrictions. I actually wanted to write an article about all of this long ago, but refrained from doing so due to a lack of interest. Logically, disinterest and passivity are not particularly motivating. Anyway! When I am back at my desktop computer, I can give you more information if you are still interested in. Cheers, AstroSkipper
