OH RIGHT

while yall are investgating alternate browsers, STAY AWAY FROM BRAVE

• run by homopobe and financial backer of other homophobes Brendan Eich

• crypto is all over the fucking thing. they drip feed users tiny amounts of crypto for unblocking certain ads and fill the home screen with crypto trackers and shit

• they "block ads" but inject their own affiliate links into sites you view

this is not the browser youre looking for

EDIT: i have muted this post. it's been two years stop replyguying me defending brave and vivaldi omfg. and also stop suggesting browsers, i already did that in this thread, tldr librewolf and ironfox, go away

@rachaelspooky Quick shoutout to VIvaldi!

It's free, it's made by the people who used to make Opera, it's un-Googled Chromium, ad/tracker blocking is baked in, they operate a Mastodon instance which bans discussion about crypto and NFTs, oh and:

@rachaelspooky @macmanx I don't trust distributions shipping with a closed source browser because I need to keep interview recordings private, in compliance with the GDPR. Running proprietary software with a user that can access to other people's sensitive data is illegal already, but it's barely enforced. However, social.coop users have defended the Vivaldi developers on our Loomio.

@rachaelspooky @macmanx Apparently they're people one would trust with their personal data, but I still absolutely wouldn't trust their software with a drug addict's interview recording. Not feeling ashamed of giving access to a recorded breakdown of an abuse survivor, while trying to understand their socialization, should ideally destroy a social scientist's reputation, even though they all support each other in this case.

@rachaelspooky @macmanx FTR, people can use Windows and record interviews with airgapped devices, but they shouldn't upload them to proprietary operating systems, or to users running proprietary software.

I guess you know this but I don't know who else is gonna read this
