Genuine question, what’s the privacy respecting alternative?


Your setup, with Win11 and Claude is the bait.


“These dirty commies! Making everyone woke with their factually correct propaganda! They just want lil ol me to not have my american dream!”


Maybe it is because people shame others into using “the most popular” browser, by asking stuff like “who uses X?” or “I use Y, lke a normal person” and so on and so forth. However, spend any time in the privacy-oriented community, and you will find that there is a significant disdain for Chrome, and Edge is never truly accepted as a viable option, and well; Opera, by Chinese scare is also shunned; but more often than not, Privacy-oriented browsers, (to my disappointment, a Chromium-based browser,) Brave is often recommended for most who don’t want to tinker, and that’s understandable.
But, when you look at things like the LinkedIn spyware, the aggressive anti-ad and also anti-privacy practices of these “popular” browsers, you really start to question, is it worth it? So tell me, IS IT worth it? My bare minimum is Containers, Chromium has to use an extension that kinda works, but for everyone else, why keep using something that constantly tries to invade your privacy? – The “Everything spies on you” or “I have nothing to hide” mentalities that try to normalize this are, in my eyes, outright defeatists.
The question once again, becomes; Why are we allowing this? If we don’t get a say; then the trusty old “Vote with your Money” comes into play; cause you always have a choice to switch browsers. We will always have that choice, and yet, I keep seeing the perpetuation of Chrome, and less Brave, and to my personal disdain, even less Firefox-based options, which are objectively better, and have built-in containers (kinda wish you didn’t need the extension to unlock it on the toolbar)
Nothing against you, you provided me with a peak at a concerning common perspective; “Why are you hating?” “If you dislike it so much why don’t you suggest something better?” and the far too common, “I dismiss everything you say, because you dislike/hate X” and truth be told, between that, and the in-person shaming and questioning, we ignore everything that is factually wrong, until something like the LinkedIn spyware or an AI Forcefully-yet-Repeatedly being downloaded without your consent, only then do they THINK, but not necessarily commit to switching to something else, the companies know this, and they just keep doing their… questionable practices.
So, I’m sorry, but yes. Chrome, is a trash browser, one that will continue to invade your privacy. De-googled Chromium would be better than Chrome. Brave is still far better, but it’s still Chromium based, that matters because if something affects a Chromium-based browser, there’s an exceedingly high chance it’ll work on all Chromium-based browsers (again, look at the LinkedIn spyware). I would personally suggest a Firefox-based alternative, simply because a lot of these exploits, which again, are a (Non-Google) Search away (just look at the efforts to remove malware from the chrome store), would simply not affect the browser. Easy suggestions are LibreWolf, WaterFox and the Mullvad Browser.
Tech isn’t meant to be complicated, it’s meant to facilitate things, but convenience should never have to come at the cost of bundled consent nor privacy.


And people still use these trash dumpster of a browser?


While yes, they’re decided ages ago, nobody anticipated the mess that is US right now, back then, and I would agree, any self respecting pro-humanity entity would reject this supposed world cup


Honeypot behavior, don’t you think? We are suppose to be trusting them, but this is what they do?


Reason enough to exit


Oh they’re making me addicted alright. I can’t stop installing Linux on things. Its like a new vice for my devices


They’ll su they won’t track you. But offer you the entire suite, almost as if they want you in their ecosystem, while also lying about being non profit
My point: dig deeper


Wasn’t Argentina also going to originally be invaded by the Pziochopaths before they settled in Palestine?


They should consider themselves lucky we just want them taxed.


Then use nuevNemo instead


Back when VoLTE launched, they ran tests, and ever T-Mo based MVNO and T-Mo itself worked just fine.
I cannot. for the life of me, fathom, how regluar people, actually tolerate Windows anymore.


More twelve them to suck harder


They still have Proton, despite knowing they’re not a great as they seem, and frankly, are seemingly more and more of a honeypot


Seriously? That would means potential ties to the genocidal creeps
Good, maybe with this Nintendo learns their place
