Muhlheim, the finance chief for the organization’s for-profit arm — which in turn helps fund the nonprofit Mozilla Foundation.
But Plohman (via the last link) is. According to this (PDF warning), that’s $415,519 total.
On the for-profit side, who knows! It’s anybody’s guess.
Thank you for letting me know! I can’t believe I assumed it did for so long. I guess it’s not a deal breaker for OP, but it is for me.
I don’t trust myself to handle secure encryption. Nextcloud has given up on providing client-side encryption at all… So the obvious choice for me is Immich.
Although since I’ve fallen for Ente, I’d probably use that instead.
Unfortunately, Nextcloud has given me so much pain in my attempt to make it E2E that I’ve basically given up on using it at all. For stuff that’s not images or passwords or notes - which is a fleetingly small list of things - I tend to use either Filen or Proton’s services.
I can’t see the image, but if you are using a Samsung device, you have to re-enable notification categories (because for some reason Samsungs just disable this option and hide away the ability to return it).
It’s at the bottom of Settings > Advanced Settings
That looks like a really interesting project, but the scope appears to be outside of what I was looking for. I think people here are looking for something more like Google Photos or Ente, something that operates more like a gallery app with extra features on top.
It’s a bit unfortunate that there are options for tagging photos automatically and even on-device (Ente is a third, which will run on your local phone or any synced device, propagating data across other devices)… But nothing that runs exclusively on-device without syncing.
There’s no apparent reason an app couldn’t do the tagging on-device to device-exclusive photos.
It won’t hurt to try disabling both of them! Watch for non-functional notifications, make sure the most crucial apps in your arsenal work, see what happens.

Either is pretty good. If you’re looking for more diverse options I’d recommend 4get or a half decent Whoogle or SearxNG instance.
But you’re right that you do have to trust the person or group running it, and I think Mullvad has the upper hand there. It’s big enough to attract a crowd, and its caching means the results are extra generic too.
If you’re looking just for Google results, Startpage is… Fine, I think.
Running a VPN makes any of these options much better.
By all accounts, this sucks.
I tried the link preview feature on a link to the English Wikipedia article about Touhou Project, and the LLM’s key points are just hilariously bad. For some reason it’s focusing too much on the PS4 and Nintendo Switch (which the LLM “thinks” were both released on August 15, 1997). I have a screenshot 6 days ago when it wasn’t a Firefox Labs feature yet in my Misskey:

Tried it today in an updated Nightly and the key points are still the same lol.
Recently, they made a blog post triumphantly proclaiming creating two divisions for AI. To me, that sounds like two divisions that are about to get laid off.
Qwant doesn’t prioritize privacy very well, besides leaning on its European-ness. Their privacy policy does not engender trust with me.
But as soon as you do Proton Mail + VPN, you then go with Proton Unlimited and that is what makes the most sense financially.
That’s how they get you! ;)
Mail and VPN are something I would never want to cross associate, though. After all, any mail provider can see the full contents of any unencrypted email at some point (including Proton), and any VPN provider can see as much as your ISP used to see about your internet activity.
I’m of two minds of this. On one hand, like you said, all your searches will still track back to your IP address.
But on the other hand, if it’s a pseudonymous IP address, you might end up giving out less information then if you contacted the search instances directly. You don’t have to worry about scraping away cookies or using a specific browser or always being connected to a VPN. In essence, the self-hosted instance is your “VPN” for searches.
It would be nice if you could get your friends to also use your instance, but if not, I think a self-hosted instance for a party of one is not a meaningless venture.
I don’t know if it’s accurate to describe Qwant as “private.” There is a bit to be desired with their privacy policy, such as them apparently sending your IP address to Microsoft
https://about.qwant.com/en/legal/confidentialite/
There’s also this bizarre section
If you have not consented or are not subject to the Services offered, we automatically collect technical data… Salted hash of the IP address…, market segment of a query, date and time of the visit, information about the country and chosen language…
Anonymized by Microsoft after 6 months.
Amazing how your post history illustrates you only care about one topic. Like the last time I saw one of your posts:
These articles are getting so obscure, that you probably had to peel through a good amount of stuff that people here would find way more relevant.
And based on other articles from this same website, they are American exceptionalists. And not competent about technology. Here is another article of theirs, “how autocrats weaponize AI”, which was published last month and refuses to mention the Trump administration among their list of autocrats.
The article is also extremely stupid, misrepresenting how Signal works.
Encryption apps like Signal use AI to ensure secure communication and protect activists from government surveillance.
I don’t know what the author was smoking when they wrote that, but Signal does not use any AI.
CEO: Why would we take your data, you directly fund us so obviously we will only focus on providing the best search experience
CEO: dumps money into AI and a T-shirt factory
Okay, so for those of us using third party apps like Thunderbird, everything is done using app specific passwords, which is great
The new feature for Email App Passwords for external email programmes
But if this is a new feature, how did third party apps work before? Could people just not use them if they enabled 2FA?
Gemini is nice. It’s got some serious QOL improvements over Gopher too, for those of us that like a little formatting or structure.
