    I don't trust any closed source code from an Israeli, Russian or Chinese company. And I'm starting to have serious doubts about America too. There's just too much influence from secret services, government interests and big tech/surveillance advertising connections.

    They sell a browser for entreprise that spies on employees. This is illegal in europe

      Secure Enterprise Browsers are legal across Europe. In fact, most of European corporates, governments, and even the EU uses them as well as runtime agents to protect employee systems and prevent data exfiltration.

    Damn so if you slap the word “Israeli” on a genuinely useless product a bunch of evil old people will give you 6 billion dollars

    I'm sorry but in WHAT GODDAMN WORLD does that technology justify billions of dollars of value.

    I would give them a good 50mil valuation.

      Most enterprises use Island - it's the Wiz of the secure enterprise browser space.

        Being Jewish doesn't make someone Israeli.

          Only on HN are people allowed to make these types of tongue-in-cheek anti-Semitic comments of the type you're responding to - while simultaneously attacking any other perceived form of racism/sexism. Somehow attaching random Jews to Israel is considered entirely okay in the hive mind here. I see it a lot in the more controversial popular posts that get posted.

            Google is a massive spy apparatus that has ties to Israel. Not tongue in cheek, and not anti semitic.

            Attack the argument, not the individual.

              What's "ties to Israel" to you?

                Don't feed the trolls. This is how burner accounts are laundered into "normal" HN accounts.

                Notice how the most virulent accounts on HN from any side are all post-2023 accounts with low karma, almost no submissions, and almost exclusively comment on political and non-technical topics.

    Any organization trusting Israeli enterprise software had might as well open up an engineering center in Pyongyang.

      Hope you don't use the Pi harness and their soon to be released enterprise offerings

      They refuse to close a major security gap, unclear if it is incompetence or malice
