Commenting this from Brave
Fuck brave browser, all my homies hate brave browser
thank you for sharing this non-existent content
my pleasure! be careful out there!
Out where?
good question!
I don’t understand. Why does Brave not exist? Is it because the developer is a chud? Fair enough. Is it because it’s Chrome? If so, does that apply to Vivaldi?
Yes but Brave is Chromium with functioning AdBlock
Can somebody explain something stupid to me? What exactly is wrong with Chromium? Does Google have backdoor access to anyone who’s running a Chromium based program or something?
They abuse the fuck out of their monopoly, basically.
They made changes to limit the usefulness of adblockers (Manifest V3), they tried to force a remote attestation API (WEI API) a few years back that would let them do stuff like fully block users who aren’t running locked-down operating systems from using online banking software or accessing Youtube, they added many chrome-specific web APIs that are extremely helpful for fingerprinting and lock users into the chrome ecosystem, etc.
And if you’re running stock chromium, there’s a fuckton of telemetry calling home to Google servers constantly.

Unless you’re using Brave :)
And browser is such a complex piece of software that you cannot just fork it easily and change those things within a weekend with a bunch of unpaid volunteers.
So basicaly everything that made it through the android-google ecosystem also made it through chromium, is my take
As a web dev I hate the trend of websites relying on chromium-specific quirks, there are a handful of sites I need to use which refuse to work in any non-chromium browser, and customer support will always tell you to just use chrome as if you’re not a normal person for using Firefox. So yeah what’s wrong with chromium to me is that it’s the new internet explorer when it comes to web standards. Websites and large businesses can afford to just not care if they are following web standards as long as it works in chrome, and if you have a problem it’s your fault for not using chrome.
This is why I switched from LibreWolf. If I had to have a Chromium browser installed as a backup anyway for few important sites, I might as well use Chromium. Imo Chromium has won. It owns the web landscape. I’ve given up
That’s valid too. Thanks for pointing that out
@Chaunticleer this sums up many concerns (at least mine)

Thank you
Yeah but it’s the best chromium skin!
Chromium with crypto, spy and adware injected into it and its development led by an alt-right manchild? Hard disagree. Even the default Ungoogled Chromium easily tops Brave.
no, because i’ve never seen it
It does not exist because it does not exist.
Hope that helps.
Funhole containment breach. Outbreak Outbreak Outbreak
the nomadic life has been hard on me
thank you for making visual content on the trail.
the wheel of content keeps on turning whether we like it or not
Firefox still exists, right?
Did she eat brave?
she would if it existed!
There is no dog park.
Heh coo.
Any idea if SDF is coming back? Loved that lemmy instance and the community around it.
