My bad, I reposted this because of the recent Google stuff without considering that issue. I'll remove it if anyone asks.
Just something to keep in mind for the future.
Of course! Thanks for the heads up.
Yea! I prefer collecting mental illnesses like Pokemon to detract from people who actually have them!
i thought it's supposed to be one of those memes that parody lgbt-phobic images about genders (see attached image), but still, make sure to avoid that usage
I'd never seen that other meme, and it could be a parody, but lets be fair - ableism and saneism are absolutely rampant on all sides of the political spectrum, and it's probably a coincidence rather than a parody...
Didn't the dude who runs palemoon get real mad about some business donating money to black causes or something? Not a great look.
fuck, knock that one down a rank too
Not agreeing 100% with everyone goes a long way. The world can be a better place as long as we support each other in generally the right direction together
dude's a dickhead but that says nothing about his browser
There's a distinct lack of Librewolf in this image
Can someone inform me what's wrong with the brave browser?
It's chromium and the company sells telemetry data to advertisers. It's quite literally doing the thing it draws users in with.
Is Firefox not also using chromium?
No, Firefox is entirely distinct from chromium.
I did not know this, thank you.
Firefox does not use Chromium. However, people get confused because when you mod FF you change the userChrome file with CSS.
FF has had that file name even before Google had a browser.
Firefox uses their own engine, Gecko
What? I agree with a lot of the Brave criticism and don't think they're perfect by any means, but saying they "sell telemetry data to advertisers" is just false and a completely baseless claim.
I always wonder how YouTubers feel that promote shit that turns out to be bad… althouuuugggghhh I am sure they get paid royally for it.
- Chromium based (which may be a pro or con depending on who you ask).
- Their CEO has made homophobic political donations and resigned from Mozilla due to backlash for it.
- They have been caught doing shady things like inserting affiliate links into the address bar suggestions.
- They use their browser to push their crypto currency, news and other garbage.
I was ok with 1 and opted out of 3 and 4 but had no idea about 2
Hahaha I use their crypto to buy crypto I want so that's the reason I asked in the first place. But I guess I'll go back to Firefox, which is the browser I prefer anyways.
These reasons are definitely an eye opener.
It’s chromium
Chromium based
Chromium cringe
Shit I just switched to Opera. Now I gotta switch again.
Whats the blue looking firefox icon in the top row?
Firefox Nightly
Pale Moon. Its a fork from Firefox three if I recall correctly. I'm not sure if its still maintained
What about Vivaldi? They just had a blog post against the Google stuff, seems good to me.
