More than "mildly infuriating", this is deeply depressing.
(And seeing TikTok two times there don't make things better...)
Well, at least the No. 1 spot is a trustworthy VPN.
Yeah, but the other two... (And fucking TikTok there twice! TWICE!)
None of those apps are the official Ticktok app.
Honestly I would try to get most of your apps from F-droid. F-droid only has free and open source software which means it is typically much less sketchy.
That only increased proton's load and now it would be worse for other free users
I wonder if people know why they are downloading and using a VPN. Especially when you're talking about the more sketchy ones.
To avoid region locking. Anything else regarding security is just bogus talk they trying sell you.
Superficially, maybe. But not in depth, like knowing what a VPN actually does and such.
I wonder how much of that 'education' is from ads and influencers constantly pushing VPNs. LOL
Well, you know, no one hears about VPNs in school, so...
Considering that there is a ton of censorship there I think they definitely know why.
Venezuela is one of those countries that just constantly seems to be in a bad state. I can't imagine living under a government that disrespects its people.
As it turns out unalienable rights are totally alienable
It’s in a bad state now because of the sanctions placed upon it. It was in a bad state before because of capitalist rule.
I can’t imagine living under a government that disrespects its people.
lol you in antarctica?
And I wonder whose fault it is for turning and keeping it in a state of perpetual decay 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
at least its proton vpn instead of the scammy ones.
Apparently the CEO of proton is a big trumper now :(
Careful who you trust, proton is trump scum
Just found out today. this is why we cant have nice things.
Same as Florida... but for different reasons.
Oh yeah, I know why lol
Isn’t tiktok free? Why would you need a lite version. Is it for old phones that can’t run much?
Yes, is for old phones and such. A mutual told me the main app is bad optimized, and a lot of smartphone here are very VERY old. Mine have like 5 years or so, I think that's like 5 decades in more "develop" countries.
Third-world shenanigans, you know.
If it's anything like Facebook lite, it's literally a wrapper for the website. Not even a proper app. Usually a worse experience than using a real browser, but the main apps are usually so bad that people with older phones put up with the lite "apps".
Its a shame so many people are trying to go for Proton since they expressed support for a Trump pick
I for one, while being as anti-trump as it gets, do not judge a company and their service based on the political view of an individual that works there. Yes there are some principle decisions that one can make but the software itself is good and the service they offer.
i mean andy doesnt just work there hes the literal ceo and 1/5th of the board
Is that because of the political situation? Like repression, internet censorship... Or an unrelated trend?
Yeah, is political. We can enter twitter (not that I care) and other sites.
Proton VPN is one of the few great ones, along with Mullvad and Windscribe
They just came out in support of the Republicans today, sadly.
They as Proton did not.
Their current CEO did.
Massive difference, this may be their personal opinion but surely it does not speak for the whole company.
They shared this from the company account.
I did not realoze that, cancelling this shit now.
