It's just getting used to it. You can add the Collins (or any other dictionary search to Firefox) and it's as easy as selecting the correct search engine and writing the word in the search box.
there was an app for Wiktionary on fdroid. But I don't like Wiktionary's definitions as much as Collins'.
immutable OSs are killing the desktop OS, keeping the user restricted.
yeah, phone number and centralization makes it no good. XMPP it is.
I just use the Collins dictionary which is the best one IMO through Tor. There's no private (good) dictionary.
Edit: Also, installing an app for everything is not great for privacy either. They have a greater access to your device than a web. And for something I can perform in a web search, that's my preferred method.
if it's made for power users why is it proprietary software? Vivaldi is yet another chromium browser with a fancy skin.
what are you talking about? XMPP doesn't have such a thing as default settings. It varies from client to client. There are clients which have E2EE enabled by default, clients which make it available, others that support it with a plugin and there are others that do not support E2EE.
That's no excuse to avoid XMPP. XMPP is an open standard, the key is choosing a good implementation.
I wish I was in the EU to sign this.
I hope they listen to you this time, even if politicians hardly ever listen to the people.
if you create a MUC in XMPP, I'm in

XMPP it is.
Recommending Medium and Blogger in a privacy community is terrible advice. It's disappointing that this is actually getting upvoted.
Edit: The other two comments provide actual private recommendations. This comment would be fine outside a privacy community.
