# Guides for Firefox
Firefox is the best browser out there. It's the only (popular) one which does not use the harmful[^1] blink engine.

In reality, it is garbage, but i'm keeping the tutorials
[^1]: I just don't like Blink engine. No reason for it. I just don't.

# matrix.org is cloudflared
This means that Cloudflare has all the request you've made to
matrix.org
Also remember that main Matrix server is matrix.org (remember that
decentralisation is a meme in matrix, everyone uses matrix.org), and
matrix is a HTTP based protocol, so everything you do in matrix, is
sniffed by cloudflare.

# XMPP considered harmful
* XEPs are a mess
* They're still trying to say "We are better than ICQ"
* [Useless XEPs](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0277.html)
* XML
* All clients could be a LOT better
# OMEMO
OMEMO is the (one of the) encryption thing(s) for XMPP, as any thing
for encryption, you have to verify the other person's you're talking
to keys, most client verify *new* keys **automatically**, and no one
really cares. This means that if a fed (or anyone) breaks into your
friend's account, you'd think that you're talking to your friend, with
encryption, but it's a fed, your client just signed all the new keys
by default
thankfully, new clients are adding some "verified" keys, and it will
warn you when a message was send from an untrusted key, or you'll
simply won't recieve messages from untrusted keys
