This is bulshit, i dont decide will i use a browser depending on who works on it, but depending on the browser itself.

So insted of looking at browser itself this dude sugests we should look at people that work on it and asume the browser is bad if someone working on it is bad which is blindfolded deciding and its nonsense.

So if you have malicios intent and dont have to say anything bad about the browser itself concretly and tehnical because if you lie there, many people that know how it is will say no it doesnt work that way here how it is than you just trash people that are working on it whic is wery hard to veryfi is it trye or not. And probably it isnt..

So when we discus open source software there is no need to talk about writers of the code much because we can discus the code itself and tell concretly if something is bad. Exactly which line and why its bad.

Anything else is just made up and malicios.

I thought this would bring up serious issues with the browser but it's just...the creator doesn't support gay marriage, the browser isn't an adblock hardliner, and it has built-in crypto support?

lollllllll

Brave sucks!

These browser wars are funny. It's not like you have a real choice anyways. You get either some sort of Chrome, with it's various problems. Or you get some sort of Firefox... which has it's own host of issues. The rest of the competition is so far behind that it'd take a miracle for them to enter the mainstream.

Shilling for any particular browser is pathetic.

This is bulshit, didnt have to say aything in tehnical aspect of the browser so he continyed to tras some people that work on that project, probably false..

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

Damn didnt know it was that bad.

They also lack any documentation about how to use their policies on Linux (where you can disable all the bloat). But it should be doable, I will give it another try.

Is the browser even FOSS? Can you compile a working version yourself?

I do that with Firefox and it is really cool.

If software works I'll use it.

I prefer firefox but I'm not going to tell someone not to use a piece of software because the creator is a retard.

Learn to be angry at the right things and grow up. Jesus fucking christ people are so god damn stupid now days.

"Waahh I don't like this guys political position so I'm going to try to defame all his work and the work of hundreds of others because of one guys personal opinion"

If this had said something like 'v3 manifest will be rolled out and they're going to be anti-anonymity' then I'd be salty because that would mean the software is becoming less useful.

Anyone who thinks like this should stop using the internet because, spoiler, the entire backbone of the internet has been contributed to by everyone of every faith, creed and philosophy which means thousands of people you 'hate' have contributed to your literal bitching about those very people online.

Get over yourselves. Actual fucking children.

This author is a moron.

Use firefox (or librefox).

Brave is great and i will continue to use it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Today I learned that people take it VERY PERSONALLY when you criticize their chosen browser. 😂

I've been trying out the DuckDuckGo browser lately on mobile. It uses the Chromium backend, so some sites work better in it than in my normal Firefox.

The neatest feature of the browser is the ability to generate random email addresses in signup forms, and those emails all get forwarded to your real email address. As it forwards the emails, it removes trackers from them. You can click a link in one of the forwarded emails to disable that address from being forwarded any more if it gets spammy.

my only issue with ddg was on mac it uses the safari engine and doesn't integrate very well with bitwarden

I use brave as it really blocks the things from foking meta, and goo gel, even if i think javascript is a warcrime against human kind, and against IT, and its created by eich

A pile of shit, just like most of the other script languages

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

I thought it was nice that maybe a private browser would be mainstream but then on second thought.... Something icky must be going on if it's mainstream, i mean the whole crypto part was an instant warning for me. Proud Librewolf user over here!!!

I can't think of a reason why anyone would use a browser other than Firefox and its forks.

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

It doesn't support HDR for example and a lot of websites are "optimized" for chrome or refuse to work unless you change your useragent to chrome

Unfortunately, there are the ame stuff about Firefox too. Mozilla Foundation is such a corrupt organization with extreme shady finances.

Foundation's main income is royalties by google: 567M per year.

Donations: 7M (which almost goes to the CEO's bonuses)

the CEO gets 700K salary and 4.6M bonuses. Lmao.

I'd suggest, using Firefox but not donating to them.

I ditched Brave ages ago when the ad and crypto bullshit really ramped up, and finding out Peter Thiel was involved and Brendan Eich was a bigot, were more than enough to keep me away from Brave.

I currently use Arc on desktop because it makes my life as a busy dev much easier to organize, and Safari on iOS because every browser on there is just Safari anyway. iOS Safari + custom DNS to block ads. Works for me.

I’d use Firefox but Arc’s organization features have become insanely useful.

What are you upset about an opt-in feature?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 years ago

Who cares? As liberal I'm sick of the mellow-dramatic outrage culture. People aren't perfect. Who knew? If you don't use brave what's the alternative? Google, who is much worse? Maybe "don't let perfect be the enemy of good" and stop using the lefts social capital to alien people over small personal gripes.

I notice people who write these types of articles never open themselves to the same sort of scrutiny.

I've read the article via Firefox, with NoScript enabled. Am I doing this right?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 years ago
