I’ve not heard of “Firefox Send.” Why would I use something like this instead of
scp
or Nextcloud?Is this Firefox Send thingy centralized? Also I’ve read that it’s actually a dead project.
ffsend targets Send which is an actively maintained community fork of Firefox Send.
It’s not centralized, you can host your own or choose from the public send instances.
The Thunderbird team is actually looking to bring it back as part of their new (paid I believe) services along with Thundermail.
I’m confused, is this different than?
This site states “⚠️ Send will be terminated on May 24th. ⚠️ Costs are getting too high to keep hosting this service. Find an alternative instance here or host your own.”
Any difference between croc and this?
If I’m not mistaken, ffsend generates a link that you can share with non-tech people (which is a big difference in my book).
