Status: Ethereum Crypto Wallet vs URLCheck
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Status: Ethereum Crypto Wallet
Status combines pseudonymous privacy-focused messenger and secure crypto wallet into one powerful communication tool. Chat with friends and growing communities. Buy, store, and exchange digital assets. Status is your Ethereum operating system. SECURE ETHEREUM WALLET The Status crypto wallet allows you to securely send, store, and exchange Ethereum assets such as ETH, SNT, stable coins such as DAI, as well as collectibles. Confidently take control of your cryptocurrency and digital assets with our multichain Ethereum wallet app, supporting Ethereum Mainnet, Base, Arbitrum, and Optimism. The Status blockchain wallet currently only supports ETH, ERC-20, ERC-721, and ERC-1155 assets; it does not support Bitcoin. PRIVATE MESSENGER Send private 1:1 and private group chats without anyone snooping on your communications. Status is a messenger app that eliminates centralised message relays for greater privacy and secure messaging. All messages are encrypted with end-to-end encryption. Additionally, no message exposes who the author or the intended recipient is, so nobody, not even Status, knows who is talking to who or what was said. EARN WITH DEFI Put your crypto to work with the latest decentralised finance apps and decentralised exchanges (DEX) such as Maker, Aave, Uniswap, Synthetix, PoolTogether, Zerion, Kyber, and more. CONNECT WITH YOUR COMMUNITY Explore, connect, and chat with your favourite communities and friends. Whether it is a small group of friends, an artist collective, crypto traders, or the next big organization - text and communicate with Status communities. PRIVATE ACCOUNT CREATION Stay private with pseudo-anonymous account creation. When creating your free account, you will NEVER have to enter a phone number, email address, or bank account. Your wallet private keys are locally generated and securely stored to ensure only you have access to your funds and financial transactions.
URLCheck
This application acts as an intermediary when opening url links. When you do so, a window containing information about the url is displayed, allowing you to make changes to it as well. Specially useful when you need to open an external link either from an email, a social network app or others. URLCheck is developed by TrianguloY, originally for personal use. It is open source (under CC BY 4.0 license), free, without any ads or trackers, light sized and using as few permissions as necessary (only the internet permission, for module checks that will only be performed when the user request them). The source code is available on GitHub too, if you want to suggest changes, perform modifications or propose a new translation: https://github.com/TrianguloY/URLCheck The app is structured with a modular setup, you can enable/disable and reorder individual modules, which include: * Input text: Displays the current url which can be edited manually. Can't be disabled. * History: View and revert any change from other modules, including edits from the user (typical undo/redo feature) * Log: Keeps a log of all checked urls, which you can view, edit, copy, clear... * Status code: By pressing the button a network request will be made to retrieve that url, and the status code will be displayed (ok, server error, not found...). Additionally, if it corresponds to a redirection, press the message to check the new url. The url is fetched, but not evaluated, so redirection based on javascript won't be detected. * Url Scanner: Allows you to scan the url using VirusTotal, and check the report. A free personal VirusTotal API key is needed for it to work. VirusTotal™ is a trademark of Google, Inc. * Url Cleaner: Uses the ClearURLs catalog to remove referral and useless parameters from the url. It also allows for common offline url redirections. Built-in catalog from https://docs.clearurls.xyz/latest/specs/rules/ * Unshortener: Uses https://unshorten.me/ to unshorten urls remotely. * Queries remover: Displays the decoded individual url queries, which you can remove or check. * Pattern module: Checks the url with regex patterns that warns, suggests or applies replacements. You can modify or create your own patterns, or even use user-created ones. Built-in patterns include: - Warning when contains non-ascii characters like greek letters. This can be used for phishing: googĺe.com vs google.com - Suggest replacing 'http' with 'https' - Suggest replacing Youtube, Reddit or Twitter with privacy-friendly alternatives [disabled by default] * Hosts checker: This module labels hosts, configured either by specifying them manually or by using a remote hosts-like file. You can use it to warn about dangerous or special sites. The builtin configuration specifies StevenBlack's hosts (adware/malware, fakenews, gambling and adult content) from https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts * Debug module: Displays the intent uri, and optionally info about the ctabs (custom tabs) service. This is intended for developers. * Open module: Contains the open and share buttons. If a link can be opened with multiple apps, an arrow will be shown to let you choose. Can't be disabled.
