  I think Tutanota (or just Tuta now?) does this, since search works correctly.

  XMPP is often neglected even though it’s the most secure, private, fast, and reliable framework for end-to-end encrypted messengers.

  This. I studied on how e2ee works in XMPP when I was trying it a few years back. It is absolutely atrocious. I have seen half-assed school projects with better security than most XMPP clients. Largely caused by encryption being bolted on through an extensions of the standard as an afterthought and going throug several revisions.

  Now you may find a good client implementation, I think conversations for android seemd decent, but with everyone using a different client and no way to ensure the other side uses a secure one, there is little point.

  This post is the personification of why downvotes should be enabled. This is just load of FUD.

  Sure, but there are good reasons not to use XMPP if you need security.

  As dark ark say, the official mullvad app allows split tunneling. I have split tunneling enabled for things where I am logged in with my real identity. No point hiding my IP from steam when they have my credit card number with my name.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do eSIMs have any downsides from a privacy standpoint?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  As I understand it, it is not impossible, just too much effort to register an esim without google services. However, once registered, they are not needed anymore. So one solution is to register the esim on stock android before installing a custom ROM.

  GrapheneOS has an even better solution where you can temporarily install google services in userspace and give them control of the esim module to register an esim and then remove the access and optionally uninstall them.
