The Brave Cuckening - le shill lion

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
Switched to Kiwi Browser on my phone, not really because of politics or shilling or such but because the fucking pajeets forced Grid view in one of the latest updates and despite assuring everyone that Tab view is coming back soon can't fucking do it. Fuck those street-shitting pajeets or whichever troon codes for them.

I'd rather put my dick in a blender than use a web-browser. But the former is necessary, and the latter is just self harm. One day, the dream of doing everything on the internet via a terminal application will be realized (at least I hope it will).

Looking at the webpage source, it's probably because it thinks it's a giant cross-site exploit. The page opens a completely different site inside of a page sized borderless frame. And it has a bad SSL cert, too.

Security wise, this is a good thing, these people are just shit at making their webpage. If you go to the actual website it loads fine.

If you want to see this feature in action with any arbitrary webpage, copy the code from that page, change the url it loads to something like "https://google.com/", save as an HTML file, and try loading it in the browser.

'It's probably' my arse.

The site and protesters became so well known some months back, the search needed only 'Gov Hochul protest' to find it as few reports give the url. Very likely blocked by name of the url.

IMO, it's too much of a DDG imitation. Doesn't really do enough of what an actual good search needs to do - not showing bogus 'review' sites or pajeet 'help' sites and cancer like Pinterest/Quora, stop pushing bullshit political results, recentism, etc. Right now it just isn't different from everyone else. The stupid 'info box' on the right side of the results pulls from Wikipedia like everyone else - I would be nice if I could either turn those off or chose my own source (say, like Encyclopedia Britannica).

Good luck ever finding a generalised search engine like that.
Even Google which is very strict for what it allows on the first page sometimes index spam/malware sites which unlike DuckDuckGo seems to be actually doing a better job at removing the crap nobody wants. You're better off just using search engines that only index forums, that'll save you the hassle.

I think the worst offender are not even Pinterest and Quora, but it's Wikia/Fandom because of, I don't fucking know actually, their SEO maybe? Everytime I look up info on anything this shit shows up when half the time it's frustrating to navigate and is riddled in javascript anyways. Guides on GameFAQs are literally more useful than this fucking garbage.


The problem lies on what gets the most traffic, so by default every search engine ever will show results from garbage like Pinterest or Wikia. The only way to fix this is to tell the search engine NOT to give you results from some sites, but I'm not even sure that's possible with Google and whatnot.

Well, at some point Google (and DDG mostly as well) stopped giving me many results from forums. You have to really be specific if you want anecdotal results of any kind in fact, I think this was specifically targeted by Google to be demoted (perhaps for 'health misinformaiton', but dunno exactly). At best you might get reddit. As it relates to tech questions, instead of forum threads from real people and real answers, it's Quora pahjeet spam.

Point is, if they really want to, the search engines devs can target something to be demoted/not show up in results.

Thoughts on Brave Search? I just switched today from DDG and seem to like it so far.

Its alright, but it still lacking in a lot of areas. I ditched DDG a while back when red flags were starting to show and used Brave search for quite sometime, its not terrible, and I certainty was able to use it for my main search engine, but it seems progress on it is quite slow compared to the browser. It also doesn't help that it only shows like 10-15 results which can sometimes have duplicates in them, I like that they are trying to get their own indexing to the point that they don't need to rely on other engines (which is something most arent doing and in the long term of things will be better).

Its just that at its current state the indexing is not ready for prime time, I think the engine is still in beta so they can fix it in time, its just its taking forever.

I currently use Presearch as my main search engine, as its gives me more results than Brave and they pay me with their own crypto coin for ever search I make (I think brave is going to do something like this the future). Presearch and Brave both said that they wouldn't censor russian websites so there is that positive as well to them. I will return to Brave search when its kinks are worked out, but until then it will be a back up search engine, along with SearX and Yandex as a last resort.

Any idea when Brave will remove the device limit for collecting rewards since they keep telling me it will be removed by April, and we about to begin May.

I have Brave but I don't really use it for anything important; just regular browsing. When I use KF, or other sites, I use LibreWolf with Decentraleyes, No Script, Privacy Badger, and HTTPS everywhere.

I always fucking forget about LibreWolf. I've been looking for a de-cucked Firefox fork since Waterfox sold out.

Why are these faggots so determined to make their mobile browser worse with every update? Kiwi Browser has  eight favorite websites on the new tab page, but Brave can only manage  three, down from the previous four? They can do that, but not add a way to remove the privacy report?

Gecko does better with elaborate CSS stuff like multiple shadows.
CSS: 
      .class-name {
    text-shadow:
        0 0 7px #ffffff,
        0 0 10px #ffffff,
        0 0 21px #ffffff,
        0 0 42px #00ff55,
        0 0 82px #00ff55,
        0 0 92px #00ff55,
        0 0 102px #00ff55,
        0 0 151px #00ff55;
      }
Chromium crawls to a halt.

Generally the worst thing about Chromium is their Graphics system. The multiple process things is good, but what always causes crashes is the Graphics system. I know this because with 11'd-kagillion tabs open, when Chromium freezes, the only thing that actually makes the free stop is killing the graphics process. I find kill the graphics process forces the freeze to break and browsing to resume.

Chromium is not as well designed as you may think. There are good features like process management. But there are also problem where you have "subframes", which are just another way for saying spyware that tags a long, picked up while browsing normally. Problems with shared resources also come into play, case and point, Chromium only has one graphics process for the entire multi-process application. So, that means there has to be inter-process communication going on, which also means that you have to sync state between threads. I'm of the school that syncing is a bad idea; you either have too much overhead protecting against race conditions or you have un-discovered race conditions. Isn't miscegenation a horrible thing? Arguably each tab, process, should do it's own graphics process, and then just assume that you will have a unavoidable race condition when graphics get rendered; think sending text from different process to the same TTY, you have a race condition, but it actually doesn't matter because the corrupted state of the TTY isn't depended on for anything the computer needs to read back into memory; it goes to the user and after the graphics refresh it's yeeded form memory. Race conditions can only arise when you have inter-process communication. One thread's state is not reliably read by another, so the fact that we don't care about what gets rendered visually by the browser means that it's not a race condition problem.

In Chromium there is only one graphics process, so you have to orchestrate switching what it's going to be doing, what tab is going to be rendered to the user. I normally notice freezes happen when opening a new tab from a click and drag. This is a good example of when the graphics process has to switch abruptly to a new tab to render and can sometimes hang at this point. It's really obvious that this would cause a problem because just like crashing trains together, you don't want to crash threads together. But, what can you expect from a company that based their flag-ship product on a antilogarithm that has a weighted average that is dependent on changing data. Meaning, you will have to re-calculate the co-efficient whenever the site being crawled changes, instead of just storing the weight and only calculating the co-efferent for a position in a given page of results. Made by danger hairs in Palo Alto.

Firefox isn't much better. They're not a real Open Source project. Older versions of Firefox were really iconoclast for their time, but threw out much of their technology with the loss of XUL runner, then threw out much of their technology again with Rust. Firefox went from being the gold standard to all ways playing catch up and that's entirely due to everyone working at Mozilla having no vision or original thoughts. Just look at the lawyer who is CEO of Mozilla foundation: she is a lawyer with red dyed Mad Max hair. Not a programmer, not a export in web-technology, not a technologist, but some paper-work jocky bureaucrat. She is probably a double agent really working for the World Economic Forum. With these kind of people making the sausage, it is no wonder that web browsers are such a pile of shit.

Not sure what happened, but today I noticed that Brave now automatically loads everything with Shields Down by default. Mobile browser still has shields up by default. Cannot find the appropriate setting in the Settings menu. Anyone else noticing this today?

Edit: Fixed it. Found the solution here. Follow 289wk's solution. Copying for posterity:
In order to restore the Shields UP default setting . . .

In a Brave Browser > New Window, go to: brave://settings/clearBrowserData

Advanced tab:

  • Set ‘Time range’ to: All time
  • Enable: Site and Shields Settings
Clear data

Return to the setting and Disable: Site and Shields Settings

Clear data, again

Restart Brave Browser

(The “Clear data” button also saves the selections.)

It doesn't seem to be doing that for me, I don't know why. Everything loads with shields up. Maybe I've messed with the settings before and forgot
