- Comment on It just keeps getting worse - Firefox to "evolve into a modern AI browser" 1 week ago:
You can still have a good (dare I say better) browser experience without AI crap by using a non chromium based browser.
For example you would probably really like uBlock Origin on a Gecko-based browser. uBO on a chromium based browser isn’t as powerful because of recent Manifest V2 changes.
Also, the fact that Google funds Mozilla is not as bad as actually using chromium browsers. Using chromium browsers does more damage to our internet experience than having Mozilla accept dollars from Google.
In a way, don’t you think it’s weird that Google is funding Mozilla (and by your logic basically endorsing it) and yet you’re not using it?

That makes sense. Not all browsers are meant to be daily drivers. It sounds like it would be good for certain use cases. Thank you for sharing in detail.

Has anyone tried Mullvad Browser and would care to comment on their experience comparing to LibreFox, WaterFox, Floorp, Zen etc. ?

Vivaldi is chromium based. The goal is to not support Google’s monopoly and stranglehold over dictating web standards.

In my experience, Zen’s design and customization is really nice but it’s also extremely buggy. Maybe to be expected, as I think they are still in their alpha release.
I was also concerned about maybe getting fingerprinted more easily since it’s a very niche browser.

Valid criticism isn’t baseless hate. And, is better to be skeptical than blindly complacent.

Is there an ELI5 of how Kiwix works? I’m having some trouble wrapping my head around it.

Can you use it to search for old versions of web pages too?

- Comment on Reddit will warn users who repeatedly upvote banned content 9 months ago:
Good point. The other important difference is that on Lemmy you can jump to a different server. Once you get banned on Reddit, that’s it.

So much talent locked up in big tech. I wish they would all unionize and also leave and launch open source startups.
- Comment on Google Chrome disables uBlock Origin for some in Manifest v3 rollout 9 months ago:
This looks really interesting, but I have so many questions. A few important ones that come to mind immediately:
- What is the user agent that’s reported? I’m guessing Firefox, but if there are any indicators that would give it away it’s not Vanilla Firefox or a popular fork, this could make you more unique.
- Are the mods publicly identifiable? Another thing that might make you very unique and prone to fingerprinting.
A core part of being private online is blending in with traffic, so using a niche browser like Zen (depending on the configuration) would make you stand out.
The product looks good, and the privacy policy is pretty good too. Still, it’d be good to understand all the aspects of how Zen prevents you from standing out in the crowd.
I don’t know if you or someone else can speak to this. I would jump into their community, but it’s on Discord, so that’s absolutely not happening.

I know this is a shitpost, but I need to say it anyways: The USA is not “America”. America is everything west of Europe and east of Asia. All the Americas: north, central, and south.
