Google: Does Amethyst offer "financial features"? Me: 😬 Google: Does it? Me: Not really. Google: Can you give us more details? Me: There is a donation button. When the user presses it, the app calls the user's preferred wallet application or service to check the balance, review, confirm, and perform the transaction before coming back to Amethyst. Google: Oh, cool. We are done. image Install Obtainium.

I have a long list and goal of going as much FOSS as possible. First, get a Pixel phone. Then run Graphene OS. Then use Proton VPN, drive and email with forwarding from gmail. Then use Kiwi browser with Orbot VPN. Then Amethyst for Nostr. Then Obtanium for App downloads or Github APKs. What am I missing?
They (Proton) work for governments: CH, EU. They've been working ca. 8 years to remove Google dependencies from thier source (Protonmail). They've been working ca. 8 years to implement proxy option in Android app. Do you think that they care about your security? They collect tone of data and don't even tell how long they keep it (support). In the meantime they introduce new products to bring you to their garden e.g. calendar, VPN, pass etc. Evaluate it on your own.
