Fuck google and all that, but also fuck using "mental illness" as a derogatory term.

[-] sapo@beehaw.org 24 points 1 year ago

My bad, I reposted this because of the recent Google stuff without considering that issue. I'll remove it if anyone asks.

[-] DessertStorms@kbin.social 20 points 1 year ago

Just something to keep in mind for the future.

[-] sapo@beehaw.org 15 points 1 year ago

Of course! Thanks for the heads up.

[-] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yea! I prefer collecting mental illnesses like Pokemon to detract from people who actually have them!

i thought it's supposed to be one of those memes that parody lgbt-phobic images about genders (see attached image), but still, make sure to avoid that usage

[-] DessertStorms@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

I'd never seen that other meme, and it could be a parody, but lets be fair - ableism and saneism are absolutely rampant on all sides of the political spectrum, and it's probably a coincidence rather than a parody...

[-] Navarian@lemm.ee 20 points 1 year ago

Don't forget Waterfox, privacy centric version of Firefox.

[-] dsemy@lemm.ee 17 points 1 year ago

Is Pale Moon even considered secure anymore?

I doubt they’re able to keep up these days honestly…

[-] sexybenfranklin@ttrpg.network 16 points 1 year ago

Didn't the dude who runs palemoon get real mad about some business donating money to black causes or something? Not a great look.

[-] sapo@beehaw.org 13 points 1 year ago

fuck, knock that one down a rank too

[-] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

Not agreeing 100% with everyone goes a long way. The world can be a better place as long as we support each other in generally the right direction together

[-] 20gramsWrench@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

dude's a dickhead but that says nothing about his browser

[-] miss_brainfart@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago

There's a distinct lack of Librewolf in this image

[-] KingPyrox@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago

Can someone inform me what's wrong with the brave browser?

[-] Cube6392@beehaw.org 25 points 1 year ago

It's chromium and the company sells telemetry data to advertisers. It's quite literally doing the thing it draws users in with.

[-] KingPyrox@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Is Firefox not also using chromium?

[-] gullible@kbin.social 20 points 1 year ago

No, Firefox is entirely distinct from chromium.

[-] KingPyrox@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

I did not know this, thank you.

[-] Teon@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Firefox does not use Chromium. However, people get confused because when you mod FF you change the userChrome file with CSS.
FF has had that file name even before Google had a browser.

[-] Cube6392@beehaw.org 6 points 1 year ago

Firefox uses their own engine, Gecko

[-] Skimmer@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 year ago

What? I agree with a lot of the Brave criticism and don't think they're perfect by any means, but saying they "sell telemetry data to advertisers" is just false and a completely baseless claim.

  1. Chromium based (which may be a pro or con depending on who you ask).
  2. Their CEO has made homophobic political donations and resigned from Mozilla due to backlash for it.
  3. They have been caught doing shady things like inserting affiliate links into the address bar suggestions.
  4. They use their browser to push their crypto currency, news and other garbage.
[-] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

I was ok with 1 and opted out of 3 and 4 but had no idea about 2

[-] KingPyrox@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Hahaha I use their crypto to buy crypto I want so that's the reason I asked in the first place. But I guess I'll go back to Firefox, which is the browser I prefer anyways.

These reasons are definitely an eye opener.

[-] corytheboyd@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago

It’s chromium

[-] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago
[-] slavojrizzek@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Chromium cringe

[-] DagonPie@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Shit I just switched to Opera. Now I gotta switch again.

[-] Rayspekt@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Whats the blue looking firefox icon in the top row?

[-] TooMuchDog@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Firefox Nightly

[-] Cube6392@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

Pale Moon. Its a fork from Firefox three if I recall correctly. I'm not sure if its still maintained
