Instal uBlock1/29/2024 There won’t be either the other sorts of nuisance that abund on the web, beyond mere clutter. The webmail provider won’t display ads, in particular ads that are targeted on email contents. If using POP3, not needing access from different devices, and not storing checked email on the server, but that may be an uncommon use case, the benefit is not only about having a local backup, it’s also about not leaving email on a server if not needed. “I mean : what’s the advantage of an email client over an email service provider (Webmail)?” Which is why information such as that you provide is always worthy. But, as always, mistakes are possible and i admit that I may very well over-estimate Posteo. Between trying and avoiding, between blind confidence and blind distrust there’s a no-man’s land which nevertheless is the only one to consider when aiming to make the right decision, it’s called the risk and given we optimize its calculation than IMO it’s a go. There’s always a balance to establish between what we know (or think we know), what we ignore (given we’re aware of what we ignore) and a product’s announced features. I’ve exposed what I know of Posteo perhaps without any further enhanced analysis. Frankly I’m not sufficiently technically oriented to bounce on each of your remarks and i’ll have to admit understanding them more or less as blurred so to say. Provided what I could have mentioned to start with, I remain convinced that an email service provider prevails on an email client many thanks for your comments regarding a touch of deeper inspection of POSTEO’s features, reliability and comparison with email clients. When it comes to security & privacy I believe moreover that my email, fully encrypted on a serious host such as Posteo is far more secured than it is locally with an email client. One can choose to read emails in text by default and if HTML (default or per-email) is chosen, indeed included javascript may be a concern though not any hosted to or calling upon a 3rd-party (remote content) given uBO intervenes. Be noted that I used ‘Pop Peeper’ even with Thunderbird given the former is much liter than the latter.ģ- Security and privacy : depends of course of the email service provider. because of that I use an application called “Pop Peeper’ to check my email providers. How inconvenient it is to check Webmail (moreover with login) on a regular basis, not to mention an urgent email. I agree and for that I backup emails with the ‘MailStore Home’ free email backup application.Ģ- Convenience. If I had anticipated your pertinent remarks I could have added :ġ. This may change in the future, especially if functionality such as tracker blocking could be implemented for OK. Most Thunderbird users, every user who does not read feeds in the email client, may not need to install the current version of uBlock Origin. This account is then listed in the sidebar, and feeds may either be imported from another supported program, or added manually. To view RSS feeds, Thunderbird users need to create a Feed account in the Account Manager. These feeds are downloaded when accessed and they may contain elements that users may not want to see. It is not the best RSS Feed reader, but it may work for users who subscribe to a small number of feeds. Thunderbird may be used to display RSS feeds in the client. According to Gorhill, uBlock Origin does not have access to emails at this stage and that it may be used to process feeds displayed in the email client currently only. The maker of uBlock Origin, Gorhill, explained this here. It is not active all the time, but that is understandable, considering that an email program works differently than browsers.Įmails are not touched right now by the content blocker. Thunderbird users find the uBlock Origin button in the mail toolbar afterwards. It should be listed under add-ons afterwards. A click on it and then another on the install option starts the installation process. The extension has no users currently as it is brand new. There, they may select Add-ons, if not selected already, and use the search to find uBlock Origin. Thunderbird users may select Tools > Add-ons and Themes in the application to open the Add-ons Manager. The change was revealed yesterday on the official GitHub repository of the project. Now, Thunderbird users may also install the popular content blocker uBlock Origin directly.
