Yet another blind recommendation of the cryptocurrency-boosting, GenAI-boosting, nonconsensual-web-crawling, queer-hating Brave browser. No thanks.
It seems this article put Vivaldi un the same box than edge and chrome. I thought Vivaldi wasn't that bad regarding privacy.
Anyone can confirm or not ? (Without going into political drama)
I think it's time we start thinking seriously about reducing our reliance on browsers (without increasing our reliance on proprietary clients).
I think we can fruitfully improve security and user agency in browsers; for one thing, having a huge community working on a few browsers means more opportunity to quickly respond to user-hostile threats.
For that to happen though, we might need to wrest control of the browser projects from Google (Chromium), from Google (Firefox), and from Apple (Safari). Or bring community-owned projects to better prominence.
Yeah, I... might still have a little bit of hope for Ladybird, but I'm really concerned about it. It seems like a) it may be pretty AI sloppy and b) they seem to be pretty in-bed with FUTO. Both of those seem like huge red flags to me.
I dunno. Maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised, but I'm worried.
