Re: Android + PC Privacy/Security App Lists
Just checked in, and saw this... I've been using proton since I changed my website. A better choice than squirrel mail, titan mail, and other webhost choices.

Re: Firefox 113.. What are your oppinions?
FF112 is in the O-pi5b and it runs fast (opens in 3-5 seconds). In my case, the uSd card determines the operating speed. As a comparison, FF78.15.esr in a 1st gen. Atom CPU takes 40-45 seconds to load.

Proton Mail
Using proton after the php roundcube went bad, lost about 40Mb mail over the years, and of course it was attatched to my website. No renewal there, ehh. One can set proton up for secure transit if desired. Thought this was noted here, but maybe quite a while ago, so forgive the bump.

Using Slacko7.0-32bit.
I have save-file, but the app UI indicates session only, after I make changes. It does this in 5.7, too. Lucky that the touchpad retains the deltas... mouse no.
