No, at least not on Android.

I understand what you said. I'm saying that most of the time, what happens is actually the opposite of what you said.

and it keeps on asking me to update proton mail to 3.0.16, and this version is not on the play store.

Version 3.0.16 has been on the Play Store for quite some time, I've got it updated through Aurora Store. Since July 25th to be precise. So it took them about 17 days to publish it to GitHub, after pushing it to Play Store.

The Play Store doesn't always push an update at the same time to all users. So instead, they have a Staged Rollout. Here's an example from this article, it's not related specifically to Proton.

I think they're pushing the update to the Play Store before they publish it to GitHub.

That's so annoying, as an F-Droid user, to almost always be one version behind. It also might have security implications that I'm not aware of.

Well, you use Linux, maybe Win11 is screwing me in that case.

I did that, several times. I tried it natively on Tor Browser for Windows 11. I also tried it in a virtual machine on Tor browser for TailsOS.

On Tails, only resetting the VM did manage to prevent fingerprint(dot)com from tracking the browser, just closing and opening the browser up did not.

What if the site was even able to fingerprint my Tor browser?

I didn't change anything in the browser settings menu. Only thing I did after loading the site for the first time was to click "block canvas fingerprinting".

I'm on Windows 11 BTW.

Did you get any spam calls?
