Reviewed mailboxI tested Maibox.Org services for 2 years. Mailbox.Org offers two types of email hosting services. Personal or Business.
As of December 8th, 2025, Business accounts have VERY WEAK security. Because the Business ADMINISTRATOR account is NOT protected by two-factor authentication (2FA). Only the Business USER accounts are protected by 2FA. Which is a major security risk. Why? Because the ADMINISTRATOR account has full access to domain name DNS records and all USER accounts usernames and...

Reviewed BetterbirdBetterbird is a drop-in replacement for Mozilla Thunderbird. Betterbird has more features, more fixed bugs, and better support than Thunderbird.
The main challenge with Mozilla Thunderbird is that, in 2020, they changed from a not-for-profit to a for-profit organization. This mean that starting in 2020, there is a very high risk that Mozilla Thunderbird will increasingly value money above you, the people. Source about Mozilla for-profit since 2020 at: •...

Reviewed DDEVOne big strength of DDEV is that it is legally controlled by a friendly NOT-for-profit organization called "The DDEV Foundation" :) Usually, NOT-FOR-profit organizations value people above money. For you, this means lower risk of future Lock-In.
In comparison, Lando and Docker4Drupal are legally controlled by FOR-profit organizations. Usually, FOR-profit organizations are at higher risk to value money above people :( Docksal's legal control intent is not yet know. Because it is neither...

Also, Chromium Web Store has a much stronger privacy and security. Because it is a fully Libre Software (Open Source).

I searched their websites, and the web, but found no source to support this claim. Do you know any? I need a public URL/link to the Flote back end software code is decentralized.
If Flote back end software is not really decentralized. I do not trust Flote.
Flote using a decentralized Bitcoin is not to be confused with a decentralized Flote backend software code.
By "decentralized" I mean, for example, Fediverse...
