Never heard of it. Fedora with Budgie… I guess no.
I like the way you think! Yes I agree with you, there should be some starting point for understanding privacy-washing. Yet I beleive for end user of Chrome browser this feature could be usefull and understanding what is this actually could be difficult?

You may try this:
toolbox create --image quay.io/toolbx-images/debian-toolbox:12
toolbox enter debian-toolbox-12
Than follow Signal instructions. You will have it installed, launch with signal-desktop. So you enter debian toolbox and launch Signal from it, that is Fedora atomic way.

I am not telling, that is 100% better, than Flathub version, but you may try just to see if problem is still there or not. Flathub version is also built from their debian file, it should be ok, but it also may contain some issues. If I would using Signal myself I would probably use Flathub, but if I had such issues I would definitly consider trying toolbox way.

But that is not official signal app…
Lol what will you say them? Your IP won’t be shared to other websites, but only to Google, switch your browser now! That will be so dumb…

Exceptions. Okey if I remember Firefox Desktop can set exceptions, so deleting data won’t delete exceptions? But Firefox mobile can not do it. That is what CookiesAutoDelete do, it manages exceptions, whitelist is not deleted, other cookies are deleted.

Or simple way (out of the box). Brave did it very simple with “forgetful browsing”, you check settings to delete every data by default, but with simple toggle you make exceptions-whitelist website, and this works very good for both desktop and mobile. You just never care about any cookies, but if you login to some twitter.com, you paste 2fa code, etc, you probably don’t want to do it 10x per day, just toggle “forgetful browsing” and it is done. That is about convenience.

?

That will be super inconvenient and works only if you paranoid lol.
But if you use Chrome you allready give all your data to Google.
Yes, looks like this. But that is only for bookmarks… Also seems abandoned. Anyway I use Floccus to sync bookmarks between browsers.
How do they lie? If one uses Chrome he probably trusts google, and sharing IP with google could be more beneficial, than sharing with all websites he visit, that depends on use cases. Sure the auditory of Chrome probably do not cares and google sure would benefit from this feature themselves, yet I don’t see where they lie though.
