How to choose a browser for everyday use?

Just because Josh tells you to use it for his daily shekel injection doesn't mean it's actually good.

The thing about Brave is that just like Firefox although it's not perfect and the devs behind it have done some weird shit in the past (like how going to binance would modify your url so you end up using their referral links 100% of the time), if you don't like something you can just modify it as it's open source, and while doing some things like getting it to work with wayland in linux is borderline impossible hardening it really is not.
Blaming the devs for having bad defaults is just an excuse for being lazy most of the time in my opinion.

The site has its uses - generally speaking, the raw facts presented there are accurate. It's just the interpretations you shouldn't rely on.

REALLY FUCKING CONTROVERSIAL, but Brave is a massive lie of a browser. It's supposed "privacy friendly" practices are just about as privacy friendly as a stock copy of Firefox (which you can tune to actually be more private than Brave can and ever will be).

I only use it for a mobile browser because Chrome is shit and mobile Firefox is just a locked down version of the desktop edition.

There seems to be no transparency over which blocklists Brave uses for trackers. The Brave Shield itself is a dumb binary option of scripts on/off, which I personally dislike. Still the best option for mobile browsing, yeah. Some extremely exceptional websites also work best on anything Chrome-based, so it's a nice alternative to have installed.

The reason why Chrome itself is a piece of shit is because of how it loads pages. Maybe it's an "it was real in my mind" thing, but I distinctly remember reading that this is a major Chrome vs. Firefox difference. The former loads pages on startup so fast that addons, including uBlock, don't have time to fully gut every tab and shit slips through, whereas the latter doesn't. No idea how true this is for forks like Brave or Vivaldi.

And in the "things nobody asked for" pile - two soycucks from Austria bought the naming rights to Limewire and want to bring it back as yet another way to hawk NFTs to people.

The defunct platform is getting a crypto makeover, thanks to a pair of entrepreneurs in Austria who have just bought the rights to LimeWire. Paul and Julian Zehetmayr will be relaunching under a new company, LimeWire GmbH, with no affiliation to LimeWire's previous team. According to Bloomberg, the brothers are hoping the "iconic name" of the platform will evoke nostalgia (the unmistakably millenial/Gen-Z emotion).

Hey remember that shitty P2P software that gave your computer aids and was stuffed to the rafters with malware and child porn? Boy howdy am I surely very nostalgic for that!

Did it actually do this or was it just retards running "Slow Jamz.mp3.exe" and blaming their fault on the program?

Oh people most definitely did it to themselves. But I was commenting more on the audacity that these two soytreprenurs genuinely believe they can necro a brand to shill NFTs and they are convinced they'll succeed because "muh nostalgia"

To me its so absurd that it almost rings like two trustifarians who are terrified of having to get real jobs and are just reaching for a "business" they can point to so their trust fund payments don't get cut off. "See Dad! We're bringing back Limewire! We don't need jobs we're eNtRePrEnUrS! Look, we're working on it ok? Now can you send over the rent money for this month now pls?"

Unbelievable. But I did already have an account from when I beta tested v2 so I download this crap and run the installer..

Fucking hell.

I feel like such a retard for ever recommending this to people.

Maybe if you didn't use some retarded tranny language you wouldn't need to write literally everything from the ground up.

It isn't even open source either, they're just using GitHub as an issue tracker

Server portion? I thought this was just a terminal emulator! From the FAQ
1649245188644.png

Amazing. It also sends back telemetry (associated with your username, cannot be disabled) that is so exhaustive you might as well have these fuckers standing over your shoulder watching you.

The cherry on top of all of this:

Log in screens for shit that don't need it are so retarded, what purpose does this have honestly? And before anyone starts privacysperging I don't fucking care if it has a little bit of telemetry, hell y'all are hypocrites by signing up for Kiwi Farms, Null knows where you live, knows your email address and he also knows all the usernames you've ever used here.

Anyways, I wanted to try out an indie game, but the fag who made it forces me to create an account just to play his game, holy shit no thanks.

Probably the only program I used that's coded in rust is Zenith system monitor. It's basically a more featureful HTOP. That has genuine use. This shit or whatever the fuck it is does no. For what fucking reason would you ever need to login to a terminal application? Actually better yet. If you're using a MAC then what the fuck are you needing a terminal for?

I hate GeoGebra so much and it deserves to die a horrible painful death. Even the desktop version is horribly slow because it probably uses JS, I hate it. Does anyone know of a graphing calculator that also allows 3D manipulation of solids?

Looks like Adobe is going aggressive with the "buy subscription or we deactivate whatever past software of us you physically own and use if you do not comply" lately. I booted my pc and saw a shortcut to Acrobat reader on my desktop, and now the copy of Photoshop CS6 that I got back then with help of my university is fake. I used to had CC for about a year when I needed Illustrator and that was it, for the most part I use CorelDraw.

It pops up whenever I open Photoshop, Lightroom seems fine. You can not close the window and it stays above everything. I had to use Task Manager to kill it. Fuck Adobe, I will clean install it again and block all updaters or switch to Affinity Photo. I can not even remember when I installed Acrobat, I use Sumatra PDF for all my PDF needs.
