Hi, there are several points you should realize:

Ubuntu Touch OS is build with the VISION to help you get back control about your digital life rights. There are two blobs that make this difficult to reach:

proprietary hardware
proprietary software

The problem of proprietary software especially with facebook business model is they track you using browser and even more using their native apps. The only way how to avoid today any tracking would be not to use internet at all, but there is still one issue, the rest of the society and your loved ones do so.

The second option is to leave minimum surfing trace. Using the right hardware and software and especially conduct precautions! as described in blogs.

Using the HTML, or standard web app in Ubuntu Touch you leave less trace, they cannot see what else you are doing, looking at, talking to, ... etc. These apps are under confinement environment. This means they do not have out-access of the confinement and if so, than only to confinement content hub, when you temporarily allow it: to upload some file, image. Once done, the access is closed again, and the cache deleted. As you see, this is a completely different approach compared to the android model.

Once logged in social service, like the one you ask about, they still can see what you think, write, who are your friends, where you work, live, what would you like to buy, who do you love and who not, what do you read, ... all that because you are using their service and sharing, talking about it there. But with UT they do not see where you are, cannot extract anything from your device, unless you explicitly allow it, like the GPS, ... but even there still the confinement model is active.

Also before anything, check, verify the downloaded app is confined and also what are app permissions granted by the app developer. Sometimes it is better to use the browser directly instead.

In that case have generally always also activated the adblocks, do not tracking protocols whenever you are using any browser, and also have firewall activated, do not accept GPS access using social services ...

In the end the best would be to stop using such services as they can really compromise you and ugly impact your and your loved ones entire future life: perhaps having problems at your job because of any of your even of fun made society views and comments.

@brywilson Hello BryWiloson, I am from the UBwriters team and I would like to ask you if you would like to write a blog about how-to Emacs on Ubuntu Touch feels like carrying a fully-fledged workstation in our pocket.

Would you like to share your experiences and steps to be followed buy other community interested members? Can we invite you to UBwrites team and set up how we could help you and lunch this tutorial on ubports.com news blog page together? Thanks for feedback. Sincerely. Milan Korecky

@trainailleur Hi, I am member of the UBwriters group, We can invite you to take part, we have moved from Telegram to Matrix, I have just send your request to the group, please hold the line

I confirm we are checking what is wrong.

Re: [Scope](the forgotten ones.)

Hi everybody, for me the scopes are also very important. I am happy user, they offer very quick and user-friendly overview about all of my most favorite sites and interest.

And what is the most important they make Ubuntu phone unique and distinctive to all other systems on smart-phones. It would be very big loss not keeping and developing them anymore!

Pherhaps I am currently using below on screen visible scope list:

Today scope (Date, Weather forecast, News)
Apps scope
Telegram scope
News scope
Twiter scope
Softpedia scope
Xataka scope
OMG scope

Already today there is possible to modify some settings: like to to add and modify News resources installing the RSSReader Scope by activating it at Today scope settings. This way you will get shorts from your favorite news sites...

From this point I thing Scopes have very big POTENTIAL! Definitely we should keep them! Pls can some one move all of them to the OpenStore?

Thanks in advance.

@brywilson , Hi, also sorry for little later reply, very busy this days, but perfect and great to here you would like to share your experiences.

Pls send me private message: @milkor73 and we will invite you to our group to agree the next steps and way of working.

Thx a lot. Best regards.

Hi Ubports A-Team, would it be possible to have a snap installer also for 32 bit architecture? Many of us have still this "old" machines. Xenial will be supported for 32 bit as we know until 2021. Thanks for feedback. @milkor73

@iomassetti i have the feelling due own experiences from the past the onion browser could be behind all of this. Please, use UT tweek tool app from openstore and clean all cache, data and configuration of the onion browser app. Than unnistall the onion browser. Now try to open web page, twitter, ... wirh Morph, you can also clean here the cache if it does not still woerk, maybe restarting device will be needed. Do not install again the onion browser,

Hi Marius, first thanks for your and all team effort. From my point of view I would like to ask to add:

@Flohack step by step of course, pdf for beginning sounds great

@pauls Have you tried to follow the UBports Proton VPN settings blog? link text

The easiest way is to follow screenshots. Verify you are not connected to vpn on other device using free plan. It works only for one device. Sometimes the connection persist on other devices even you think you have canceled the connection.

Did you asked at Proton for the necessary cert file?

@advocatux you are right, without open-store installed no way to install and without adb any app, sorry for confusion.

@Sandro

https://open-store.io/app/openstore.openstore-team

https://open-store.io/app/com.ubuntu.terminal

if it does not help, we will have to find and send you 15.04 version

@Sandro , try first the command advocatux recommended. open your Terminal on the phone and insert the command. Since you have UT already running it is the easiest way.

Tell us how did it went, we will try to help you with the adb, if it does not works. But first try sudo system-image-cli --switch 16.04/stable

Please tell us:
did you install from OpenStore on your UT the Terminal app?
what is your OS you have on your laptop?
was it you? who installed UT on the MX4?
we need to know more about your experience to help with the steps to follow!

Hi, the topic is closed. Decision made. Thanks for your contribution and inspirations.

@libremax I am using also for sending, I have the standard problem that it does not pick up the e-mail from contacts and than to send an e-mail I have to play rotating the screen.

Also if I want to answer some e-mail it is better to do it from the incoming list (swiping from right and selecting the action to be done) than clicking on reply when inside of the e-mail. This way it works perfect, the e-mails are queued and sent.

Also now with the suru-dark theme I have set with Ubuntu Tweek tool app I notice I can not read well the insert e-mail cells as they are very blank, white.

Thanks for all the done work and improvements, and happy Dan Chapmann is slowly back. My best regards for all of you.

Hi, can you tell what is the current situation, how did you decide to improve Content Hub performance and behavior? Many Thx
