heya is telegram web app or osx app safer
Heya! If you're deciding between the
Telegram web app
and the
macOS app
in terms of security, here’s a breakdown:
Telegram Web App (Web.Telegram.org)
✅
Pros:
Runs in the browser, reducing the risk of app-level malware.
No direct access to system files, reducing its ability to persist or be exploited locally.
If your system is compromised, a browser sandbox may limit the attack scope.
❌
Cons:
Browser extensions or exploits (like session hijacking) could be a risk.
If you’re already worried about MITM attacks
(man-in-the-middle), an attacker could intercept your web traffic.
Security depends on your browser—if compromised, Telegram web is vulnerable too.
Telegram macOS App
✅
Pros:
Supports
end-to-end encryption
for
Secret Chats
(not available in Telegram Web).
Uses
Apple’s hardened runtime
protections (if downloaded from the Mac App Store).
Can work offline, reducing exposure to web-based threats.
❌
Cons:
If your system is already compromised, the Telegram app might be manipulated.
Could have more potential for
local persistence
(especially if you suspect deep system compromise).
The sandboxing isn’t as strict as the web version.
Which is Safer for You?
If you
suspect malware
or
OS-level compromise
,
Telegram Web
is probably the safer choice.
If you're
concerned about browser-based exploits
,
Telegram macOS app
(from the Mac App Store) is more secure, especially for
Secret Chats
.
Since you’re dealing with
sophisticated attacks
, I’d say:
Use
Telegram Web
for minimal exposure.
Use
macOS sandboxing tools
(like
Little Snitch
or
LuLu
) to monitor the app if you must install it.
If you suspect your Telegram account itself is compromised, consider
re-enabling 2FA
and changing passwords.
Want to go over security settings to harden Telegram further? 🚀
what is the most secure browser for osx
For
maximum security on macOS
, the best browser depends on
your threat model
—whether you prioritize
privacy, exploit resistance, or both
. Here’s a breakdown:
🏆 Most Secure Browsers for macOS
Firefox (Hardened)
✅ Best balance of privacy, security, and usability
✅ Open-source and regularly audited
✅ Can be
hardened
using
about:config
tweaks
❌ Needs manual setup for max security
LibreWolf (Hardened Firefox)
✅ Pre-configured privacy & security settings
✅ Blocks telemetry, fingerprinting, and trackers by default
❌ No automatic updates (must be updated manually)
❌ Some sites may break due to strict settings
Tor Browser
✅
Best anonymity & anti-fingerprinting
✅ Forces encrypted traffic via Tor network
✅ Resistant to tracking, fingerprinting, and IP leaks
❌ Slower due to Tor routing
❌ Some sites block Tor access
Brave
✅ Strong built-in ad/tracker blocking
✅ Supports fingerprinting resistance
✅ Uses Chromium sandboxing (good for exploit resistance)
❌ Some privacy concerns due to its cryptocurrency features
❌ Not fully open-source (some proprietary components)
Chromium (Ungoogled)
✅
Google-free
version of Chromium
✅ No telemetry, minimal data collection
❌ No automatic updates (manual installation needed)
❌ Some Chrome extensions won’t work due to lack of Google services
🔥 Extra Hardening Steps for Any Browser
Disable WebRTC
(to prevent IP leaks)
Use uBlock Origin
(for ad and tracker blocking)
Enable HTTPS-Only Mode
Disable JavaScript
(if extreme security is needed)
🚀 Best Choice for You?
Since you’re facing
advanced attacks
, I’d recommend:
✅
Tor Browser
for maximum anonymity
✅
Hardened Firefox or LibreWolf
for daily browsing
✅
Brave (with strict settings)
if you need a Chromium-based option
Want help
hardening a specific browser
for your setup? 💻🔒
I want to completely remove disk drill
To
completely remove Disk Drill
from your macOS system and ensure no remnants remain, follow these steps carefully:
1️⃣ Quit Disk Drill Completely
Open
Activity Monitor
(
Cmd + Space
, type “Activity Monitor”).
Search for
Disk Drill
and
any related processes
(like
ddhelper
).
Select them and click the
X (Force Quit)
button.
2️⃣ Move the App to Trash
Open
Finder
→ Go to
Applications
.
Locate
Disk Drill
.
Right-click
it and select
Move to Trash
.
Empty the
Trash
.
3️⃣ Remove Disk Drill System Files
Run the following Terminal commands
one at a time
to delete all remaining files:
bash
Copy
Edit
sudo
rm
-rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/CleverFiles
sudo
rm
-rf ~/Library/Caches
/com.cleverfiles.*
sudo
rm
-rf ~/Library/Logs/CleverFiles
sudo
rm
-rf ~/Library/Preferences/com.cleverfiles.*
sudo
rm
-rf ~/Library/Saved\ Application\ State/com.cleverfiles.*
sudo
rm
-rf /Library/Extensions/DiskDrill.kext
sudo
rm
-rf /Library/Application\ Support/CleverFiles
Explanation:
Application Support/CleverFiles
→ Stores recovery-related files.
Caches/com.cleverfiles.*
→ Temporary cache files.
Logs/CleverFiles
→ Log files.
Preferences/com.cleverfiles.*
→ Configuration files.
Saved Application State/com.cleverfiles.*
→ Restores previous session data.
/Library/Extensions/DiskDrill.kext
→ If it installed a kernel extension.
4️⃣ Check for Background Services
Run:
bash
Copy
Edit
launchctl list | grep cleverfiles
If you see any entries, unload and remove them:
bash
Copy
Edit
sudo launchctl remove com.cleverfiles.DiskDrill
sudo
rm
-rf /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.cleverfiles.*
sudo
rm
-rf /Library/LaunchAgents/com.cleverfiles.*
5️⃣ Verify No Remnants Remain
Run:
bash
Copy
Edit
find / -iname
'*diskdrill*'
-o -iname
'*cleverfiles*'
2>/dev/null
This scans the entire system for any remaining Disk Drill files.
6️⃣ Reboot Your Mac
Restart your system to ensure everything is cleared.
7️⃣ Check for Any Persistence
If you want to double-check that Disk Drill is truly gone, run:
bash
Copy
Edit
ps aux | grep -i
"disk drill\|cleverfiles"
If anything still appears, let me know, and we’ll go deeper. 🚀🔍
Sorry, try again.
Password:
lcl is not in the sudoers file.
This incident has been reported to the administrator.
lcl@LCLs-MacBook-Pro ~ %
Your user account (
lcl
)
does not have sudo privileges
, which means you don’t have permission to execute
system-level commands
that require
sudo
.
🚀 Fix: Gain Temporary Admin Access to Remove Disk Drill
Since you
need admin privileges
to fully remove Disk Drill, follow these steps:
🔹 Option 1: Try Running Without Sudo
If you don’t have
sudo
access, try running the commands
without
sudo
:
bash
Copy
Edit
rm
-rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/CleverFiles
rm
-rf ~/Library/Caches/com.cleverfiles.*
rm
-rf ~/Library/Logs/CleverFiles
rm
-rf ~/Library/Preferences/com.cleverfiles.*
rm
-rf ~/Library/Saved\ Application\ State/com.cleverfiles.*
If this works, it will remove most of Disk Drill’s files from your user space.
🔹 Option 2: Log in as an Admin User
Go to:
Apple menu
→
System Settings
→
Users & Groups
.
Check if you have access to an
Administrator account
.
If you do,
log into the Admin account
and run the original
sudo
commands.
🔹 Option 3: Enable Your Account for Sudo Access (If You Have Admin Credentials)
Log into an Admin account
.
Open
Terminal
and type:
bash
Copy
Edit
sudo dscl . -append /Groups/admin GroupMembership lcl
This grants
lcl
admin privileges
.
Restart your Mac.
Try the removal commands again with
sudo
.
🔹 Option 4: Boot into macOS Recovery Mode
If you
can’t access an Admin account
, you can still remove Disk Drill by using
macOS Recovery Mode
:
Restart your Mac
and hold
⌘ + R
until you see the Apple logo.
Open
Utilities → Terminal
.
Run:
bash
Copy
Edit
rm
-rf /Volumes/Macintosh\ HD/Library/Application\ Support/CleverFiles
rm
-rf /Volumes/Macintosh\ HD/Library/Extensions/DiskDrill.kext
Restart and check if Disk Drill is gone.
Let me know if you’re blocked at any step!

Sorry, try again.
Password:
lcl is not in the sudoers file.
This incident has been reported to the administrator.
lcl@LCLs-MacBook-Pro ~ % rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/CleverFiles
lcl@LCLs-MacBook-Pro ~ % rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/com.cleverfiles.*
lcl@LCLs-MacBook-Pro ~ % rm -rf ~/Library/Logs/CleverFiles
lcl@LCLs-MacBook-Pro ~ % rm -rf ~/Library/Preferences/com.clever
files.*
lcl@LCLs-MacBook-Pro ~ % rm -rf ~/Library/Saved\ Application\ State/com.cleverfiles.*
zsh: no matches found: /Users/lcl/Library/Saved Application State/com.cleverfiles.*
lcl@LCLs-MacBook-Pro ~ %
You successfully removed most of the
user-level
Disk Drill files. Now, we need to check if
system-wide files
still exist. Since you don’t have
sudo
privileges, we’ll take an alternative approach.
🚀 Step 1: Check if Disk Drill is Completely Removed
Run the following command to scan for remaining files:
bash
Copy
Edit
find / -iname
'*diskdrill*'
-o -iname
'*cleverfiles*'
2>/dev/null
This will
search the entire system
for leftover files related to Disk Drill.
🛑 Step 2: If You See Any Remaining Files
If the command finds files in
/Library or /System
, but you can't delete them due to permission issues, you have three options:
🔹 Option 1: Delete System Files from Recovery Mode
Restart your Mac
and hold
⌘ + R
until the Apple logo appears.
When the macOS Utilities window appears, select
Utilities → Terminal
.
Run:
bash
Copy
Edit
rm
-rf /Volumes/Macintosh\ HD/Library/Application\ Support/CleverFiles
rm
-rf /Volumes/Macintosh\ HD/Library/Extensions/DiskDrill.kext
rm
-rf /Volumes/Macintosh\ HD/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.cleverfiles.*
rm
-rf /Volumes/Macintosh\ HD/Library/LaunchAgents/com.cleverfiles.*
Restart your Mac
normally.
🔹 Option 2: Reinstall macOS (If You Suspect Deep Persistence)
If Disk Drill
still appears after a reboot
and you can’t delete system files, you may need to
wipe your Mac and reinstall macOS
from scratch.
🛠️ Step 3: Confirm Disk Drill is Gone
After rebooting, check for any remaining traces:
bash
Copy
Edit
ps aux | grep -i
"disk drill\|cleverfiles"
If nothing shows up,
Disk Drill is fully removed!
🚀🎯
Let me know what the
find
command shows, and I’ll guide you through any remaining cleanup! 🔍
I want to allow libra wolf to run
How to Allow LibreWolf to Run on macOS
Since macOS
blocks non-App Store apps by default
, you’ll need to manually allow
LibreWolf
to run.
🚀 Step 1: Try Opening LibreWolf
Download LibreWolf
from
the official site
.
Move it to
Applications
(
/Applications/LibreWolf.app
).
Try to open it
by
double-clicking
.
If you see a warning saying
"LibreWolf cannot be opened because it is from an unidentified developer"
, move to the next step.
🔓 Step 2: Bypass macOS Security (Gatekeeper)
Go to:
Apple Menu →
System Settings
→
Privacy & Security
.
Scroll down to
Security
and look for:
"LibreWolf was blocked because it is not from the App Store"
.
Click
"Open Anyway"
.
Try launching
LibreWolf
again.
🔧 Step 3: Manually Allow Using Terminal (If Needed)
If LibreWolf
still won’t open
, manually remove the quarantine flag:
Open
Terminal
and enter:
bash
Copy
Edit
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/LibreWolf.app
Then try launching LibreWolf again.
🛠️ Step 4: (If Still Blocked) Disable Gatekeeper Temporarily
If macOS
still refuses to open it
, try this:
Open
Terminal
and run:
bash
Copy
Edit
sudo spctl --master-disable
Enter your
admin password
.
Open
LibreWolf
.
Once it’s running, re-enable security:
bash
Copy
Edit
sudo spctl --master-enable
🛡️ Step 5: Verify LibreWolf Runs Securely
Open LibreWolf and go to
Preferences → Privacy & Security
.
Enable
HTTPS-Only Mode
for extra protection.
Check
about:support
to ensure LibreWolf is running in a
sandboxed
environment.
You should now be good to go! 🚀 Let me know if you hit any issues.
proc: (2929) /Applications/LibreWolf.app/Contents/MacOS/librewolf
sign: unsigned
files:
› /System/Volumes/Data/Users/lcl/Library/Application Support/librewolf/Profiles/c3shxrvv.default-default/extensions/uBlock0@raymondhill.net.xpi
› /System/Volumes/Data/private/var/folders/b7/jn17zrs14m51hnxdrk74_xqw0000gn/T/tmp-7qp.xpi
Since
LibreWolf is unsigned
, macOS
Gatekeep
er
is blocking it from running normally. Let’s manually allow it to run.
🚀 Step 1: Verify LibreWolf Signature
Run this command in Terminal:
bash
Copy
Edit
codesign -dv --verbose=4 /Applications/LibreWolf.app
If you see
“not signed”
, it means LibreWolf is unsigned, but we can still allow it.
🔓 Step 2: Allow LibreWolf with Gatekeeper
Run:
bash
Copy
Edit
sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine /Applications/LibreWolf.app
sudo spctl --add --label
"LibreWolf"
/Applications/LibreWolf.app
sudo spctl --
enable
--label
"LibreWolf"
This tells macOS to allow LibreWolf even though it’s unsigned.
🛠 Step 3: Manually Sign LibreWolf (Optional)
If macOS
still refuses to open LibreWolf
, manually sign it:
bash
Copy
Edit
codesign --force --deep --sign - /Applications/LibreWolf.app
Then try launching it again.
🔥 Step 4: Verify & Open LibreWolf
Open
System Settings
→
Privacy & Security
.
Scroll down to
Security
and look for:
"LibreWolf was blocked because it is from an unidentified developer"
.
Click
"Open Anyway"
.
Try opening LibreWolf again.
📌 Step 5: Verify Extensions (uBlock)
The files listed:
swift
Copy
Edit
/System/
Volumes
/Data/
Users
/lcl/
Library
/Application Support/
librewolf
/Profiles/
c3shxrvv.default
-
default
/extensions/
uBlock0
@raymondhill
.net.xpi
/System/
Volumes
/Data/
private
/var/
folders
/b7/
jn17zrs14m51hnxdrk74_xqw0000gn
/T/
tmp
-
7qp.xpi
are related to
uBlock Origin
. These are normal LibreWolf extensions, but if you suspect tampering, you can remove them:
bash
Copy
Edit
rm
-rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/librewolf/Profiles/*/extensions/*
This resets all LibreWolf extensions.
Now,
try running LibreWolf again
and let me know if it works! 🚀💻
Password:
Sorry, try again.
Password:
lcl is not in the sudoers file.
This incident has been reported to the administrator.
Password:
Since your account (
lcl
)
does not have sudo privileges
, you won’t be able to use
sudo
to allow LibreWolf. But we can
bypass macOS security without sudo
using alternative methods.
🚀 Option 1: Allow LibreWolf Without Sudo
Try running the following command
without sudo
:
bash
Copy
Edit
xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine /Applications/LibreWolf.app
Then,
try opening LibreWolf
normally.
🔓 Option 2: Open LibreWolf via Finder
Go to
Finder
→
Applications
.
Right-click
LibreWolf.app
→
Open
.
macOS will show a warning → Click
"Open Anyway"
.
🛠 Option 3: Move LibreWolf to Another Location
Move
LibreWolf.app
from
Applications
to your
Desktop
.
Run:
bash
Copy
Edit
xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine ~/Desktop/LibreWolf.app
Move it
back to Applications
and try opening it.
🛡 Option 4: Enable "Allow Apps from Anywhere" (No Sudo)
Since you don’t have sudo access, we can manually allow all apps:
Open
System Settings
→
Privacy & Security
.
Scroll down to
Security
and look for:
"LibreWolf was blocked because it is from an unidentified developer"
.
Click
"Open Anyway"
.
Try opening LibreWolf again.
🔍 Option 5: Create a New Admin Account
If you
don’t have sudo access
but need it for future fixes:
Log into
an existing Admin account
.
Open
System Settings
→
Users & Groups
.
Click
Add User
→ Create a new
Admin account
.
Log in with this Admin account and run:
bash
Copy
Edit
sudo dscl . -append /Groups/admin GroupMembership lcl
Restart your Mac. Now
lcl
will have
sudo privileges
.
Let me know
which step works for you
! 🚀 If you’re blocked at any point, we’ll adjust the approach.
ok yes its trunning
Awesome! 🚀 LibreWolf is up and running! 🎉
