The only browser on my os is mothra all others don’t exist.
thank you for sharing this non-existent content
my pleasure! be careful out there!
Out where?
good question!
Out of the environment of course.
the only Chromium browser i use is CEF/Electron
What happened with /c/unix_surrealism?
Why wouldn’t they leave a donation link on that page :<
I bet they don’t even have MBAs! How do they expect to optimize their revenue funnel and drive quarterly growth‽
Hosting instance ran out of disk space, collecting donations to resume operations.
Us when we’re messy with our spaghetti dinner
I hope we can get a recipe, that sauce looks yummy
I’ve been using Vanadium, the browser that came with GrapheneOS, recommendations?
keep using that
I use ironfox with ublock origin, works nicely.
Brave on GrapheneOS works great. Worth a download.
knave browser
Firefox or GTFO.
They recently used AI to translate a lot of code to Rust. Thought it sounded like a neat project right until then.
Aah, I was not aware of that.
What’s the deal with Brave? Why are people against it?
They do a ton of sketchy shit. I was skeptical, but this article convinced me.
If you need to use a Chromium browser, there are a shit-ton that aren’t Brave. I use Ungoogled Chromium.
Brave was found altering links to some crypto services like Binance to include their referral and basically profit from unknowing users, they also run an ad network, they rely on Chromium, thereby endorsing Google’s dominance over the modern Web, they are very crypto-positive, which is a problem for many in the open-source community, and on top of that, everything else others have said.
Vigilink is the vendor they use to do this iirc. Link hijacking for referral revenue is wild thing to base a business on, but I’ve seen more sketch things running around the ad tech industry.
Their very shady history + their very bigoted owner + current shady tactics
Edit: and on top of that it’s Chromium based

The guy who made it has bad beliefs. It’s good software from what I can tell, and free as in speech and free as in beer, but if you use it you get his bad bigot cooties. You have to use free software by certified free range organic non-bigots or it rubs off on you I guess.
Okay that gave me a good chuckle. But really with FOSS software it’s important to be aware of biases the developers might have. Sure if it’s an open source project, in theory I can audit the code but realistically not so much. If the lead developer is a known bad actor, then there’s reason to be paranoid about vulnerabilities or backdoors being injected into the codebase.
Well there’s no code he can insert that will invalidate anyone’s marriage. And his philosophy on tech and privacy is good. I probably wouldn’t invite him to brunch, but I’m okay with his code.
Never mind his politics, that asshole designed JavaScript!
i’m not against it, i just don’t believe it exists
Aside from the homophobia, Brave also runs an ad network so I’m skeptical about their privacy claims.
Brendan Eich. Specifically his stance against same sex marriage. He was pressured to resign from Mozilla, which he cofounded, due to his support of California’s prop 8. Then he founded Brave. The Brave browser also has some annoying crypto and AI features turned on by default. I think it’s a perfectly fine piece of software. I use it as a second browser.
It’s impossible to be good at programming and morality at the same time.
That’s why I never tried with either.
A whole ton of femboys with knee socks, running Arch, might beg to differ
Brave is the tits. Apparently, I’m guessing non existent tits? Whatever. I never see an ad.
Brave was made by a former Mozilla employee who got fired for being a massive asshole. He still is a massive asshole and as a longtime Firefox and now Librewolf user, I don’t see any ads either.
Do they still hijack your URL bar to inject their own referral codes without your permission?
Talk about killer features 🙄

most importantly, a vegan artist?
Librewolf, iceraven
and vivaldinot Vivaldi
Why not?
i personally love vivaldi but i’m gonna guess they are telling you to avoid it because it’s not open source. also chromium
…yes, I whispered ^and vivaldi^
Is this an ad
it’s the opposite
yeah, pepsi paid me $7 to post it here!
I only drink off brands.
I only drink off my hangovers
I’ve used Firefox based browsers for as long as I can remember and I’d rather slam my dick in a car door than switch to garbage like brave. Every single one of those browsers is the same bloated Google-flavoured bullshit wearing a different fucking clown costume. Firefox is the only browser that doesn’t make me feel like I’m being rawdogged by corporate spyware every time I open a tab… Piss on carpet !!

Brave is even worse as they’ve been caught doing shady shit without permission on more than one occasion.
i thlammed my penith in the car door
I thlammed my penith in the car door!
This broke the car door!
Do you know why we stopped the car? 🎵
Cause it smelled like dick.
Yeah, I don’t do web stuff, but I use the browser every day for all the microsoft stuff my employer uses and it’s 99% LibreWolf and then 1% switching to Firefox ESR that cane preinstalled on debian.
If something didn’t work at that point, I’d probably fire up my Windows VM I use for testing before I’d install even chromium. I’ve installed it before but there’s just no need now.
I only use palemoon because it uses the best version of Firefox.
im just gonna link this image the next time some uninformed dork asks me about this shit browser
that’s allowed!
