Continuing discussion from the Trivalent suggestion thread , specifically from this reply . The question is should we remove this minimum requirement ? Must be available on Linux, macOS, and Windows. Is it arbitrary? Does it relate to privacy and/or security?

Linking my relevant thoughts from the trivalent thread [image] Trivalent (secureblue Web Browser) hammer_and_wrenchTool Suggestions I agree. This criteria may have made sense when there was not recommendations for each major operating system already but at thi…

I would like to have the requirement at least be amended or have an exception for Linux particularly that the app/product in question be available to be used on not just one particular distro but any distro and DE you want. Software made for only one particular distro primarily should not be the onl…

What I am afraid about is making people not use Vanadium or Trivalent just because it is not recommended by us. That’s why I personally support at least a small addendum mentioning this issue. Even if the vision of the browser requirement is to share cross-platform browsers, perhaps we can make it …

I’ll make sure to bring this up to the team members. Thanks for letting us know! I personally was not involved when that decision was made. From my perspective, It could use a discussion on our end.

I always do my best to be on a multi-platform solution. It’s not a lot of fun when you’re only using the Apple ecosystem!

It should at least work on a PG-recommended OS, e.g. Linux, in order to be recommended.

Trivalent is not even officially supported on Fedora. So I don’t see the point of recommending it in the browser section..Though we can recommend it to keep using it in the Trivalent section. The browser section is made to offer private allternatives. The point is also to avoid vendor lock-in, whic…

So following this , as, I believe @byte very good said why: Must be available on Linux, macOS, and Windows. Ahem… Maybe we can create a poll to cancel this? This looks like “commercial guides” not about privacy. It is available on macOS, just not through the more official sources when you instal…

Yeah, this requirement doesn’t make sense.

Linux users are better off with Trivalent or Brave Origin even though those are either not available or paid on other platforms.

Also, it’s really hard to beat Safari with Private Relay on macOS when it comes to privacy and fingerprinting protection, that’s why I’m using it right now.
