The project has only 2 contributors and is added by one of the authors of the software package.

I personally think privacytoolsIO should recommend proven solutions, not alpha/beta software.

What do others think?

Is this cloud think still running?

I agree. Create a PR if we can get one more approval @Atavic @Hillside502 @kewde

I found the github link on bottom of muonium.io but repo is active on gitlab. You have to register to use it. Upon registration, you are redirected to https://mui.cloud/

Above page loads:

font-awesome/css/fontawesome.min.css
fonts/Roboto.css

...and three js scripts. This gives a lot of opportunities to google for fingerprint the users.
Like all cloud solutions that allegedly care about privacy, they really fail at it.

However, Font Awesome does use services from other companies to provide fontawesome.com, content delivery networks, and to distribute and develop icons and software. The companies behind those services may collect data about you on their own, for their own purposes.

Does Font Awesome share data about me with others?

For a complete list of partners, see https://fontawesome.com/privacy#other-services

That being said, I'll use IPFS over this fingerprinting-riddled cloud solution.

The whole file synchronization section is bogus imo.
