I definitely agree with this!

I have been trying 1P with the Brave (flatpak) extension on Pop!\_OS 22.04 and the .deb package for a few days, and I couldn’t see any issues so far. In fact, the experience was way smoother than with Bitwarden. Is there a particular advantage of Wayland over X? I know Wayland is more advanced, but does this matter in this case?

I think this might be a question of use case. I wouldn’t say I have the highest threat model, and I am using a Pixel 8 as my main phone, though I minimised the usage of Google’s own services quite a bit (still being aware of what I’m using there). Since I’m using a Pixel with Google’s Android, I don’t think the QR scanner issue matters much to me.

To be honest, I read the entire [Remove 1Password](https://discuss.privacyguides.net/t/remove-1password) thread, and I feel a bit overwhelmed now. I also read many other posts here and elsewhere about the other candidates (incl. BW and PP), and the more I read, the more I feel lost on this :smiley:
