Couldn't Time Machine serve your needs? Recuva restores deleted files on your HDD, right? Assuming you've used Time Machine for quite some time, you should be able to find an older backup with the file that may have been deleted.

Let's assume he's lost photos on an SD card......

Anyhow, in all honesty, the very very best program I found so far is a windows program: PhotoRescue Advanced (or Pro, if you want).

It really digs what all other programs wouldn't be able to see anymore for me at least twice.

Using nothing less... I'd even setup a virtual machine just to be able to run that baby.

That having said, I'd try going to iusethis.com and searching something like "recover" or "restore" and maybe add "photo" if that is your specific wish.

Sort by usage or so and pick a few apps, google them.

That's not an alternative to this thread, hence I don't wanna see it getting closed or so haha, just saying, that whilst waiting for good answers you can feed your inner wish to "do something" about it :)

      The user is always the weak point at the end of the day. It doesn't really matter what service is used if a attacker gets in they can pretty much do anything.
    • Zen Browser 1.13.1b

      By Copernic · Posted

      Zen Browser 1.13.1b by Razvan Serea Zen Browser is a privacy-focused, open-source web browser built on Mozilla Firefox, offering users a secure and customizable browsing experience. It emphasizes privacy by blocking trackers, ads, and ensuring your data isn't collected. With Zen Mods, users can enhance their browser experience with various customization options, including features like split views and vertical tabs. The browser is designed for efficiency, providing fast browsing speeds and a lightweight interface. Zen Browser prioritizes user control over the browsing experience, offering a minimal yet powerful alternative to traditional web browsers while keeping your online activity private. Zen Browser’s DRM limitation Zen Browser currently lacks support for DRM-protected content, meaning streaming services like Netflix and HBO Max are inaccessible. This is due to the absence of a Widevine license, which requires significant costs and is financially unfeasible for the developer. Additionally, applying for this license would require Zen to be part of a larger company, similar to Mozilla or Brave. Therefore, DRM-protected media won't be supported in Zen Browser for the foreseeable future. Zen Browser offers features that improve user experience, privacy, and customization: Privacy-Focused: Blocks trackers and minimizes data collection. Automatic Updates: Keeps the browser updated with security patches. Zen Mods: Customizable themes and layouts. Workspaces: Organize tabs into different workspaces. Compact Mode: Maximizes screen space by minimizing UI elements. Zen Glance: Quick website previews. Split Views: View multiple tabs in the same window. Sidebar: Access bookmarks and tools quickly. Vertical Tabs: Manage tabs vertically. Container Tabs: Separate browsing sessions. Fast Profile Switcher: Switch between profiles easily. Tab Folders: Organize tabs into folders. Customizable UI: Personalize browser interface. Security Features: Inherits Firefox’s robust security. Fast Performance: Lightweight and optimized for speed. Zen Mods Customization: Deep customization with mods. Quick Access: Easy access to favorite websites. Open Source: Built on Mozilla Firefox with community collaboration. Community-Driven: Active development and feedback from users. GitHub Repository: Contribute and review the source code. Zen Browser 1.13b changelog: New Features There's a new way to manage spaces, which brings a more intuitive and user-friendly experience Updated to firefox 139.0.4 Added support for Google safebrowsing for better security Collapsed toolbarr gets a slight UI redesign Fixes Fixed issues related to glance and split view Fixed performance issues and high GPU usage for some users Other small fixes and improvements Breaking Changes Customizable UI buttons at the bottom has been reset to a new default state Zen Browser 1.13.1b fixes: Small fixes from the previous release.
