Cookies are not evil per se... but data mining companies made them like that.
I'm administrating an online store and cookies are responsible for the customer's cart, plus their user session / logged in state.
As an admin I adhere to the "golden rule", thus there are no creepy trackers on store. I don't like them and I don't want customers to face the same thing on websites that I manage.
That said, cookies are needed for user session & fraud protection. Instead of nuking cookies we shall kick the trackers out.
Ubuntu... before Canonical nuked it.

Here's a great and beginner-friendly article on the topic of secure (and private) messaging and why Matrix currently doesn't fit there: https://proton.me/blog/whatsapp-alternatives
I use it because I love how the Gecko engine renders web pages. For some reason, Gecko renders fonts way better than the Chromium engine, that is literally bashing my eyes. There's something terribly wrong with the Chromium rendering... and I don't know what it is 😅
After being on Spotify for some years, I switched to Tidal.

The problem comes from federation. You never know where your messages are synced to + what will happen if instances are defederated. Matrix might become something really cool, if it spends 1-2 years solely on security. Otherwise... it's just nothing more than an epic (and misleading) name + some IRC legacy vibes.
Tidal Music. Was on Spotify before that.

Can you share what's coming soon from Nightly 👀❓

You're a prophet in my eyes, ser 👀
I'm somewhat stuck with Tidal, since it's included in my mobile services subscription. Glad to hear that there are apps that do feature light mode. Their UX lead clearly has a brain 🧠
I'm using Jerboa, but a version from GitHub. The app in Google Play and F-droid crashes upon being opened... at least on my phone.
📝 Note that the most recent version on GitHub doesn't work too, since it requires a higher platform version of Lemmy. Use a version of Jerboa a bit older if you're using the .world instance of Lemmy.
Matrix is a security nightmare. Everyone should stay clear from it till possible solutions are found for the ongoing concerns.

Vivaldi (or Mozart... whatever) is a joke regarding privacy. IMHO it's not as bad as Opera, Chrome, Edge, but still not good enough. For some privacy, you should always use a VPN service + Hardened Firefox / Brave / LibreWolf.
And why not Brave 👀 Way better than Mozart, or whatever 😅
That's awesome! I wish more OS-es follow, especially Debian. Having support for an OS that can cover the whole perceived lifecycle of the hardware is something that was once (in the 2000s) the standard. This is something crucial for businesses, but it's also great for home users.
