Henry Fishers setup

The face of Techlore, Henry Fisher, is someone who strives for digital rights for all. I've been following him lately and I've noticed that he is very transparent with us about which software he uses. This list features his 'possible' setup for both work and private use. (I hope he sees this and likes it!)

  1. His private phone

    My guess is that he uses an iPhone with the least amount of memory (if 64gb was an option, he would choose it). He has used a Pixel with GrapheneOs but I guess he doesn't use it anymore.

  2. Safari icon
     Like

    Only option due to Lockdown Mode. Otherwise he would use Brave. In general, he is not very satisfied with the options and quality of mobile browsers.

    This is the messenger he uses by far the most because it is very user-friendly.

  5. He's been using Proton services for a very long time so I think he is loyal to them.

    Because it is a cross platform TOTP and it has simply been around longer than Proton Auth.

    I don't know if he even has this setup but if he could chose, it would probably look like this.

  9. He once said that his browsers are: 70% Mullvad, 29% Brave, 1% Tor. There is a possibility that he know fully switched to Brave.

  15. Work desktop

    There are the some services that he uses for private and for work but I don't repeat them in this list.

  16. I've seen him using this browser in a live for easy split-view.
