Good info. Keep in mind, for whistleblowers and the like whose anonymity is important, that entities of any degree of financial power have -- and have had -- the ability to learn of and exploit vulnerabilities in phone and computer operating systems (and apps themselves) that let them into your devices. Gov, corp, whatever. In which case, encrypted anything doesn't even matter. They can see what you can see, even if it's encrypted between your device and the internet. The most -- the only -- definitive way to not have an unknown third party getting access to all your chats, texts, photos, videos, browsing history, passwords, is to throw your devices into the closest lake and, possibly, if you have the money, to move to the mountains and re-start your life away from the insanity.
Was in the process of signing up for protection with Aura, I signed on for it for full year with no issues an no problems before I re- up any other suggestions? I do use Brave browser on Mac..
Aura is a good choice for identity protection, but since you're already using Brave on Mac, which does a great job blocking trackers and ads, you might want to complement it with tools focused specifically on privacy at the browser and app level.
maybe you can explore some open-source options. They won’t always have the full “all-in-one” package like Aura, but you get strong protection and more privacy.
ex: Bitwarden for password, SimpleLogin or AnonAddy for email aliasing, Exodus Privacy ( as I said in the post), Cryptomator for encript files

I was wondering since Brave is very helpful. So is saving money!
Thank you...
Cheers!
