Kim Kardashian's face care routine.

Still can't believe that Pewdiepie became one of those Linux youtubers, only thing missing is linux distro reviews and why he can't use X software xD

It's a youtuber, who made this, and people feel hurt, because he doesn't put their browser at the top. That's just sad. He puts Firefox at the top - I use Firefox, and I still don't care what he thinks about it. I make informed choices, it's not religion for me...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

He didn't even made this, is a screenshot of a bunch of browsers that appears for 2 seconds on a video.

It's vitally important to know which browser is preferred by the guy who says slurs to an audience of children

Wait. He hasn't crumbled into dust or whatever these "Offputting guy with shit politics who has an inexplicable army of irritating tween fans" youtubers do when they're past their shelf life? I thought he was irritating when I was in high school. That was...what, thirteen years ago now?

[–] [email protected] 40 points 1 day ago (6 children)

What exactly has he done to warrant considering this? He's a yt star, not a privacy expert.

Putting Cromite at the bottom most tier makes me discard the entire thing.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

And Brave at the top lmao.

This dude poopoopie has always been garbage.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Your comment made me look at the list again. I didn’t even realise Brave is located at the very top.

Also, why is “not ideal for a normal human” at the middle of the list?

Garbage, indeed.

I like my browser hard AF

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What's with Mull being at the very bottom? It was the best Firefox app

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It is no longer maintained

The only problem with Ungoogled that makes it "not ideal for a normal human" is that fact that it is still cumbersome af to download it. Regular people don't know github and how to click on "show all assets" and pick the right build.

Is https://download-chromium.appspot.com/ not good enough?

I don't use this as a my main browser though, just for testing. I don't recommend Chromium backends due to Google control over it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That's not Ungoogled Chromium, at all. Not even close.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 day ago

Right, is https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium then? Take like 4 clicks to get a working AppImage.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Do you not realize that regular users may struggle to install extensions without the extension store? This is because ungoogled Chromium lacks that feature.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

No I did not and I'm not sure what you imagine "regular users" might be. I feel that if someone goes the extra length to get their browser outside of a store, they can do the same with extensions, is it extravagant?

Isn't installing extensions in it also a pain, since the Google webstore doesn't let you install from it?

I guess to answer my own question, I looked it up - there's an extension to let you do that alongside some flag changes, so I guess not too bad... But it's another step on the list of things you'd want to do as a user

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Yeah that extension should be shipped with the browser to make things easier.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Hey, Cromite is great. Take it under "solid".

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

Brb, double clicking 'Netscape Navigator' to go on 'Ask Jeeves' to look up what this "PewDiePie" is

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Why is the open source Chromium ranked worse than Google Chrome? Like sure, it's not gonna go very high, but it deserves better than that.
