    I don't trust any closed source code from an Israeli, Russian or Chinese company. And I'm starting to have serious doubts about America too. There's just too much influence from secret services, government interests and big tech/surveillance advertising connections.

      Secure Enterprise Browsers are legal across Europe. In fact, most of European corporates, governments, and even the EU uses them as well as runtime agents to protect employee systems and prevent data exfiltration.

    I hope it is better than the Russian-Israeli browser Chrome.

        Being Jewish doesn't make someone Israeli.

          Only on HN are people allowed to make these types of tongue-in-cheek anti-Semitic comments of the type you're responding to - while simultaneously attacking any other perceived form of racism/sexism. Somehow attaching random Jews to Israel is considered entirely okay in the hive mind here. I see it a lot in the more controversial popular posts that get posted.

            Google is a massive spy apparatus that has ties to Israel. Not tongue in cheek, and not anti semitic.

            Attack the argument, not the individual.

              What's "ties to Israel" to you?

    Any organization trusting Israeli enterprise software had might as well open up an engineering center in Pyongyang.
