@nixCraft I guess 2024 is when I stop using Chrome.

@canleaf ah yes, the antivaxxer who left Mozilla to make a cryptocurrency browser. No worries Brave was never an option for me.

@ecksearoh He is also a homophobe who donated to an political cause against marriage equality.

@canleaf power reveals who you really are, and he's a human turd.

Brave is just Chrome with additional crypto bullshit baked in.

@KinkyKobolds @ecksearoh it's based on chromIUM with additional (optional) crypto bullshit baked in.

@LinuxNerd @ecksearoh You're making a distinction without a difference.

@ecksearoh @nixCraft why wait? Firefox is a better browser right now.

@ecksearoh
Why not now already?

I'd recommend vivaldi.com, if it needs to be chromium-based.
It really *is* a great browser!

Otherwise Firefox, or a fork of it, like LibreWolf or Mullvad.

@fasnix Because of the speed and the ease of use. I have things I use Chrome for, and other things I use Firefox for. Thanks for the suggestion but I will never use Vivaldi. But I will probably replace Chrome with the Microsoft equivalent it uses the same extensions and I know how to tune it.

What speaks against VivaldI?

Edge becomes more and more AdWare.
The only ones profiting from that is Microsoft, not you as a user.

@fasnix I have no issues with Edge, I know how to secure it. I have no interest in ever using Vivaldi, thank you for your concern.

@ecksearoh @fasnix Since Edge follows Chromium/ Chrome there is a good chance extensions like this will stop working in Edge as well.

@burkettlabs I doubt it, and even if it does there's always vanilla chromium.

@ecksearoh @burkettlabs Google is not only disabling uBlock as in "toggling a switch". They're removing APIs, making any ad blocking extension stop working properly for "security reasons". So to effectively keep supporting these extensions alternative browsers based on Chromium will either have to do a lot of extra work or implement their own ad blocker and boy oh boy is Google going to make it hard for them.

@fasnix @ecksearoh @nixCraft I've been using Vivaldi for a while It's tab-splitting ability has saved me so much time.

andrei!

@fasnix @ecksearoh @nixCraft Does Vivaldi support running multiple browsers with different Google profiles at the same time?
