Good choice. I’ve switched from pfSense to OPNsense over a year ago and I never looked back. Now that the news are out there’s one more reason for me to not look back.

I second Nine. It’s a great app but has its price. Comes with a free trial for I think 14 days.

FairEmail only supports IMAP and POP3 but these protocols are disabled according to the OP. So this sadly isn’t an option. Very good email app though. I can recommend it.

No, it doesn’t. I just tested it. I restarted my phone to make sure Bitwarden is closed, Opened the browser and opened a website where I have an account. In the login mask where I was prompted to insert my credentials the little popup appeared and when I tapped on it Bitwarden opened. It wanted me to enter my Master-Password so I did just that and it opened the DB to offer me the entries for auto-fill. You can even set a preference to immediately lock the DB after a single use and to always prompt the Master-Password (+ 2FA (optionally)) if you want.

Edit: Hell, you could even make it completely sign you out after every single use so you’d have to re-enter your email address, Master-Password and TOTP for 2FA. Not even KeePass offers you that level of security because you don’t need a username for your DB.

I don’t know about iOS but if you use an Android you can try Bitwarden. It detects credential fields and when you tap in them a little popup appers that offers Bitwarden to auto-fill these fields. When you then tap on that it opens Bitwarden and it offers all fitting entries from your vault. Select the one you want to use and then it fills the fields.
Maybe that’s what you’re looking for? I really love that feature.

Since every client of Bitwarden makes a copy of the whole database on the server when it syncs, it’s not like all your credentials are lost when the server gets unavailable. You can make an export of your database on that client and import it on another instance. This said you already have a built-in backup feature.

Actually it’s not that big of a problem. All clients make a local copy of the server’s database when they sync. So even when the server is unavailable you still keep your local copy on your client. Every client of Bitwarden offers the option to export your whole database. This means you could easily use that to import your exported database to any other instance.
The only “big problem” I see is to learn how to self-host. Most people are not tech-savvy so they don’t know how to do it and don’t even want to learn it.

Depends on what block lists you use and how aggressive you want the filtering to be. I’ve been using Brave for a while and tested it with and without uBO. With Brave Shield set to aggressive blocking (what I higly recommend) it blocked about 99,5 of all the stuff uBO would block.

That’s fair. Everyone has a different opinion. But I think it’s always better to self-host Bitwarden than using the cloud service because then your passwords are stored in a place where you have full control of. Afaik if you use the official Bitwarden vault your passwords are stored on some Amazon servers.

Well, I work in the IT so I know some stuff about security in the digital world. But these systems (password managers in general) are built to be secure and not just tell every password they store without some security measures. Yes, I know there can be security holes, bugs and so on. But that’s why these tools get thoroughly tested.
You always have to take risks in the world of computers. So what’s the point? Being as secure as possible? Then better not even bother with password managers at all because they all can have security holes.
It’s more about how much you trust a password manager and how much you trust yourself in how cautious you use it. The risk is always there.

Note: I do not recommending self-hosting bitwarden

Why not? I have my own instance running on my NAS and I love to have it self-hosted because this way I keep the passwords where I know nobody else can get them.

Thanks. Now I don’t need to watch the video, haha.

Great video! I really enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing. I’m gonna share it and maybe I can use it to raise awareness about (their) digital privacy.

There are more? Sadly it’s just for ESR and now that with Thunderbird Supernova a big overhaul of the email client is out, it’s not compatible.

I didn’t know that so thanks for pointing that out. My search results pointed me here. Is this the one you’re talking about?

I’ve read that there’s no way around Google services if you use a WearOS watch. Not even MicroG is a solution. Anyway, the OP didn’t mention what type of smartwatch he uses. So if it’s not a WearOS smartwatch he should be fine I guess. :)

Afaik on Android smartwatches (and the OP said he uses a smartwatch) don’t work (properly?) without the Wear OS app. And the Wear OS app doesn’t work without Google services. This means the OP can’t live without Google services at the moment.

I’ve watched half of the video and gotta say it all sounds very complicated. And since I don’t know exactly what changes are made or options set back to default with that cleaner-script I decided to just get through every entry in the user-overrides.js provided. In hindsight this was a good idea because I know some of these changes in the settings would have broken stuff for me. Actually I didn’t have to change a single option because my Firefox was already hardened enough. ;) At least I now know I’m good and have been good.
