Browser's and tech fuckery general discussion thread - Brave other browser's & current general tech issue's

[Ged!]

I don't care how pozzed it is, you'll have to pry Firefox from my cold dead hands.

This is quite literally the worst take I've ever seen in my entire life.

I think somebody posted screens in the happenings thread, but here are some blog posts from the archive.is blog.
(bottom post is first, top post second)

This explains the basic issue. Already this guy seems pretty retarded.

I'm not a fan of a lot of things Brave does, but I still think it provides a valuable service. Plus I think we can all agree that being able to ban a browser from a site outright is really stupid and has some pretty disturbing implications.

Here the archive.is guy complains about "toxic" websites that use his service. Yes, we've been relying on this tumblr faggot for half of what we do for years .

All web browsers are shit.
This archive.md shit should be eye-opening. If this random website can identify the browser you're using, then your privacy is shit. No website should ever be able to know this, and even better is if you spoof the relevant information to make them think its Chrome or regular FF.

It ignored the User-Agent header so was detecting it some other way. It's explained more thoroughly here along with an extension to evade it.

Dude is an autistic retard. He unironically calls the communities who use his site "toxic." After all only alt-right Nazis would ever want to archive web content in cases it gets memory holed.

It's kind of amazing really. That's the kind of moronic take you'd expect from some tumblr troon trying to hide their CP blog, not from someone who runs an archive, well, if you can call what he does "running" it. At this point I'm going to assume he tard rages some time in the near future and just shuts it down entirely.

 

[awoo]

I said it in the other thread but I can't get over how fucking stupid naming a browser Brave is. Imagine thinking you're brave for using a fucking browser. Really stuck it to The Man there right?

To be fair to the owner, I've seen firsthand that /pol/ and /news/ + derivatives on imageboards archive every fucking link they have, not unlike the farms. I've never seen archive.is outside of the farms or imageboards either, only archive.org, so it isn't unrealistic that a good chunk of his traffic is from these so-called "toxic" places. Still, he shouldn't be throwing a fit about it, and should do his job as the owner of a fucking archive to preserve information of all kinds for the future.

 

[Bad Take Crucifier]

Blocking one browser to keep people from 4chan and kiwifarms out of archive.md is this level of effective:

 

[Slav Power]

I use Vivaldi because it's the only browser that I can use comfortably, Chromium base be damned. No other browser is as comfy and customizable as Vivaldi, period.

 

[Basil II]

Watch the Brave evangelists try to defend how obvious of adware Brave is, by either saying it's not true or brings up "muh tracker blockers".

Be suspicious of fucking everything, even if it seems like it has your best interests at heart.

Here's something from a-fruity-melon that bypasses the block.

I know a lot of people here are lazy, so here's the instructions straight from the comment.

Spoiler: Instructions

Solution for innocent Brave users:
1. Download Tampermoney from Google Extensions Store
2. Create a new userscript
3. Delete all texts & codes inside the big text box
4. Paste this:

// ==UserScript==
// @name         Hide Brave fingerprints from websites
// @namespace    http://tampermonkey.net/
// @version      0.1
// @description  Hide Brave fingerprints from websites
// @author       You
// @match        *://*/*
// @run-at       document-start
// @grant        none
// ==/UserScript==

(function() {
'use strict';
Object.defineProperty(navigator, "brave", { value: 0 });
(document.head || document.documentElement).insertAdjacentHTML('beforeend',
'<script>Object.defineProperty(navigator, "brave", { value: 0 });</script>');
})();

5. Save by pressing Ctrl-S (or Cmd-S on Macbook), and close Tampermonkey's dashboard page
6. Download Edit this cookie to clear all your cookies from archive.* sites ( yes, the site uses cookies to track you, without asking for your agreement, though it's owner shouts loudly for privacy )
7. Try visiting arhive.* websites. If not working, repeat Step 6 and then clean all your caches from archive.* in the History page of Brave.

Disabling Javascript for the Archive sites works. For now.

This particular toxic website is banned from the drive by download program, so he can't be talking about Kiwi Farms.

theres a way easier way to fix this, just disable scripts on his shitty site, and set it not to allow cookies

Didn't work for me, and wouldn't work if you need to solve a captcha.

 

[Nauseated Courgi]

Came here from happenings. @anameisaname I saw you suggested https://iridiumbrowser.de/ and I also saw someone post this https://spyware.neocities.org/articles/index.html


I'm so confused now. Is Brave good or bad? I just want the CIA niggers to stop raping my data.

Second. I decided to try it out because Josh recommended it, but now I'm hearing people talking about how bad it is. What's the deal?

I said it in the other thread but I can't get over how fucking stupid naming a browser Brave is. Imagine thinking you're brave for using a fucking browser. Really stuck it to The Man there right?

That's a nitpick in a half. That's like complaining about Chrome for it's default color scheme or Firefox for it icon.

It's not called Brave because you're "brave" for using it. It called that presumably because their Icon is a lion and lions are usually associated with bravery.

 

[granyonyi stakan]

is it just me or can all modern internet fuckery be completely bypassed with a tcp/ip commodore 64 in text only reading mode? surely you could code a old commodore to read websites and it would bypass ALL cookies and that kind of shit because the website won't have any fucking idea what to do with such ancient tech. i'm going to get one at some point.

I doubt it would even have the RAM power to access most websites. Not to mention, the old browsers that are compatible with the c64 would get insta-pozzed by most websites.

The better solution is just to have a laptop with no personal info on it, and then being really good about wiping tracking cookies, staying anonymous and not logging into sites, and fucking up Ad-ID trackers by clicking "X I don't like this" on every ad you see.

Well, i mean without javascript, no code beyond basic html. Purely text extraction. I understand a normal laptop would be good for this, but it would require some kind of coding. If i remember correctly all website data is basically send in a POST packet or some shit like that, what's to stop someone from developing a text only reader for the actual website packets and just extracting the data you want? surely this is how browsers get the data anyway.

Nope. It wouldn't work for most sites. You can spoof a lot of websites, such a Twitter or Facebook, into loading just the HTML portion or just the text portion, and you get back basically nothing. It's because these websites are mostly dynamically generated and/or use complex scripts. There are ways to get around that, but it requires more scripts and is definitely more power than a c64 could handle. Also it would require autistic effort so there's that.

if i knew how i would. There are no end of smart people out there who have been cracking software for 20+ years, accomplishing all sorts software wise (deep fakes, AI dungeon etc) who could do something like this and it would be worth the effort. All i want is an internet experience with no worrying about cookies, popups, etc. Just pure information, like how the internet was for, and how it was for a long time (from the BBS days to the early 2000's, arguably up to about '69 if you count the closed system networks). All this fucking JS bullshit is a relatively new "development" and only exists because the internet has been watered down by billions of fucking moronic people flooding it who don't have the intelligence to operate a terminal so they have to use gui's and shit.

On the general browser topic, am I the only person left that uses bookmarks? Nothing pisses me off more than the way bookmarks work in chromium based browsers compared to FF.

On the general browser topic, am I the only person left that uses bookmarks? Nothing pisses me off more than the way bookmarks work in chromium based browsers compared to FF.

Bookmarks are actually pretty useful for shit like static docket pages on court sites, and some bookmarklets like javascript to archive something, are also useful. I usually have about 10 or so in a bar in the browser. So I don't generally have many, but the ones I do, I use a lot. Wake up, check a half dozen court cases, but usually the thread has some even bigger autist who noticed it the instant it happened and the thread has 10 more pages already.
