Any difference between croc and this?

It says on the github page that this is limited to 1gb only

If I’m not mistaken, ffsend generates a link that you can share with non-tech people (which is a big difference in my book).

Is this Firefox Send thingy centralized? Also I’ve read that it’s actually a dead project.

This is the community fork that is still maintained. There are multiple instances like invidious and from what I understand it is relatively easy to self host. Since it is only for short term file storage and its E2EE I do not really mind using one of the public instances.

ffsend targets Send which is an actively maintained community fork of Firefox Send.

It’s not centralized, you can host your own or choose from the public send instances.

The Thunderbird team is actually looking to bring it back as part of their new (paid I believe) services along with Thundermail.

I’ve not heard of “Firefox Send.” Why would I use something like this instead of scp or Nextcloud?

Because the other person might not have ssh or access to your nextcloud

You can also make a torrent very easily, which is the better method.

I’m confused, is this different than?

send.vis.ee

This site states “⚠️ Send will be terminated on May 24th. ⚠️ Costs are getting too high to keep hosting this service. Find an alternative instance here or host your own.”

It literally says “Firefox Send client” in the title.

I always liked the concept of blaze, but it seems like development stopped 2 years ago.

github.com/blenderskool/blaze

Using webtorrents for multi-peer transfers & being able to UL/DL from a URL.

If you care about security, OnionShare beats all these webRTC implementations

As interesting as it is…

Using the snap package is recommended if supported.
