Firefox Addons Being Disabled Due to an Expired Certificate
Mozilla Firefox users are discovering that all of their addons were suddenly disabled. It turns out that this is being caused by an expired intermediary certificate used to sign Mozilla addons.
If you are having issues with extensions in your Firefox getting disabled, there was an issue with the signing certificate of Mozilla. They have already sent out a patch for that, but it requires you to enable Studies (privacy issue!!).
To bypass that, you can install the patch directly from the link below

Magisk developer John Wu picks up internship at Apple
Among Android root and ROM enthusiasts, the name John Wu is well-known, being attached to the developer responsible for Magisk. Wu's systemless root solution has had a blistering development pace, repeatedly beating Google when it comes to the cat and mouse game imposed by SafetyNet and other system changes. But today the 23-year-old developer has announced a surprising career move: He's going to be an intern at Apple for the next four months.
It's fairly astounding that Google didn't try to snap him up, given both his deep familiarity with the platform and his well-recognized status among the Android enthusiast development community. Google's loss is Apple's gain, though.

Brave: Browser with its own advertising concept
I often hear the question why I don't recommend the Brave Browser and why I don't participate in the Brave Rewards program. First of all, the browser is based on Chrome - that's enough for me to avoid it as much as possible. Browsers based on Chrome are usually closely linked to Google services. As a user who is sensitive to data protection, I am happy to do without it.
I also find the "advertising concept" unconvincing. The integrated advertising blocker initially prevents advertising from being displayed. Brave then fades in its own advertising, which in the opinion of the developers is "less harmful" and does not make the user traceable on the Internet. For advertising, a fee is to be paid to the user as well as to the advertiser in the form of Basic Attention Tokens (BAT).
Currently, the browser can be operated completely free of advertising - i.e. even without advertising that displays Brave. In the future, this model may be adapted. Who decides then against the Ad Replacement, that must deactivate the integrated advertising blocker. Inevitably this means: In Brave, the user is either shown advertising from the respective website or advertising via the "Ad Replacement" concept. Unlike other browsers, the user cannot completely suppress advertising, for example via Adblocker plug-ins such as uBlock Origin. Whether this will be implemented in this way, however, is still speculation.
Final conclusion: Not recommended

Nanodroid 20.8.20190504 "Prometheus" released!
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/module-nanomod-5-0-20170405-microg-t3584928/post79462263
Hi everyone,
version 20.8 Codename: Prometheus" (https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/USS_Prometheus_(Prometheus_class)
Important Notes
1) Full and microG packages up to version 20.7 by default installed Google Play. Starting with version 20.8 the default behaviour is changed and by default Aurora Store and Fake Store are now installed. If you previously ran the Setup Wizard nothing will change. If you don't have your own nanodroid-setup configuration file, you'll notice the different setup.
2) Bromite System WebView 74.x breaks Google Login. The Bromite System WebView thus stays at version 73.0.3683.107 until the bug is fixed. After logging in to your Google Account with all desired apps, you may update to the latest Bromite System WebView using F-Droid.
Highlights
1) Support for new Magisk 19.0 module format
2) switched from Aurora Store v2 to v3
3) several internal improvements and fixes

Read this if you’ve got ‘nothing to hide’
(https://thenextweb.com/contributors/2018/11/20/read-this-if-youve-got-nothing-to-hide)
If you’re one of those people who think privacy isn’t really an issue for you because you have nothing to hide, you should read this.
Personally, I think the topic of privacy is interesting, but I’m generally annoyed with privacy advocates because they fail to appeal to people without using fear mongering. Many are extremists who will tell you not to use Google because ‘Google is reading your email!’ or an iPhone because ‘Apple is too dominant!’ These arguments just fall flat for people who like using those services. But there are four arguments that do make sense to me, and they’re simple and easy to understand.
1️⃣ Saying you don’t care about privacy because you have nothing to hide is as selfish as saying you don’t care about people being hungry, because you’re not. You might have the luxury of living in a society where privacy is implied, but that same privacy keeps your society in place.
The first thing dictators tend to do is take away peoples’ privacy and the freedom to think what they want. The fact that you don’t feel like you have secrets means you live in a society where you can be who you want to be. That’s great for you, but should be a reason to care even more. The fewer secrets you have, the more you should value privacy.
2️⃣ When you’re at home, and nobody is watching, how do you act? And I don’t want to know whether you rub yourself in peanut butter and run around naked… What I mean is, what old pants do you wear? What does your hair look like? What do you eat and, mostly, how do you act?
When around people, we’re aware we’re being observed, and we act accordingly. This acting is an activity, and sometimes you need a break from that activity. You might want to drop that smile and just sit on a couch staring at the distance with your mouth open while picking your nose. This is privacy; the right to feel unobserved and act like nobody is watching. You have that right in your own home, and you should have that right online too.
3️⃣ Before WWII, the city of Amsterdam figured it was nice to keep records of as much information as possible. They figured; the more you know about your citizens, the better you’ll be able to help them, and the citizens agreed. Then the Nazis came in looking for Jewish people, gay people, and anyone they didn’t like, and said ‘Hey, that’s convenient, you have records on everything!’ They used these records to very efficiently pick up and kill a lot of people. (I’m grossly simplifying the story, for story’s sake, so if you’re a historian I apologize in advance)
After the war, The Netherlands, and Amsterdam, in particular, became a big proponent of giving their citizens privacy, and we can all understand why. So, when a service wants to know everything about you, to help you better, their intentions might be super valid, and your trust in them might be defendable, but we don’t know what the future brings.
We don’t know what future governments will do, or if another less trustworthy company acquires the company you initially trusted. When Google or Facebook says you can trust them with their data, they might not be wrong, but they should be able to guarantee that for eternity. They probably can’t, so you should think about how to anonymize your data yourself.
4️⃣ If someone says they have nothing to hide, ask them to unlock their phone and give it to you for ten minutes. If they hesitate they will have realized it’s nice to keep some things to yourself. Privacy is not just about hiding your dark secrets, it’s also about the way you talk to your loved ones, the sensitive stuff you discuss with the people you work with, and the amount of money you spend or make.
Privacy is like insurance; it’s there to protect you when disaster strikes. You can’t get insurance after your house breaks down, it will be too late. It’s not just about Google spying on you or Facebook tailoring ads, which does feel invasive. It goes deeper than that.

Google’s privacy promises don’t sway many experts
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. (AP) — Google announced new privacy tools Tuesday intended to give people more control over how they’re being tracked on the go or in their own home, part of a broader effort by big tech companies to counter increasing scrutiny of their data collection practices..
Trouble is, few experts appear ready to celebrate Google’s moves.
CEO Sundar Pichai kicked off the company’s annual developer conference by noting that the company wants to do more to stay ahead of “constantly evolving user expectations” on privacy.
