 @gamingonlinux I mean, if know they're not going to tweak they're Firefox. I just recommend Brave. still the best chromium browser on mobile  @gamingonlinux Thanks! That was a pretty good summary. I guess I didn't search hard enough. @gamingonlinux I"f you want a privacy-focused web browser, use Firefox or Vivaldi." I installed Vivaldi. Just now. Wow. @gamingonlinux Thanks for this article. I knew about the Prop 8 stuff, but was fuzzy on the ad-blocking tech. It's interesting to me that, rather than replacing behavior-based advertising with the proven content-based advertising model, Brave decides to double-down on enshittification by adding shady crypto to the mix. This was the connection I needed. A pox on Google and Brave. Fuck em all.  Is this the fourth or fifth time I have been pointed to this link. Which says: the guy who wrote it is a bit sketchy. Don't care. The optional bitcoin thing is a bit sketchy. Don't care. They made a mistake inserting code into URLs which they have since fixed. So far it works for me without memory leaks or obvious issues.   @gamingonlinux @privacyguides Opinions on this? Brave is still recommended as the first option to mobile web browser in PrivacyGuides website.  @gamingonlinux fundamentally I think their ideas for client side privacy preserving customized ads and micro payments for viewing them which can be used to pay for content was a good one. It's sad that the implementation was botched but there is so much headwind against replacing the existing fetid system it is an almost impossible job. There's also a certain degree of hypocrisy in people rallying against Brave's ad replacement tactic while simultaneously promoting full on ad blocking. |
@gamingonlinux use Firefox instead!
