You need to stop using Brave

I am pretty set with Firefox in Android and desktop to be honest.

I cringe a little when users praise Brave as being the best ad-less YouTube solution (especially android users since we have revanced here!), no bro, there is no way using the web version of YT is better than revanced, or any other apps on mobile.

FFS Plex, the server is on my local network

Imagine wanting to charge to stream your own media with your own hardware and resources... Hey wait, we don't have to imagine it anymore, Plex already did it.

I forgot as I am a Plex Pass Lifetime user, and oh boy I'll be sure to milk that out (actually after all these years I think I have already done that) just to keep being an annoying stat for Plex and nothing else 🤣

lemm.ee has shut down for good

Damn, since I saw the warning thread I was hurrying my slow ass to back up my stuff, which I gladly did (some days ago), lemmy.zip is my new home now.

I feel sorry for the users that didn't get the chance to backup their stuff... An auto backup feature for Lemmy backend might be worth checking out perhaps?

Why do people switch from chrome to Brave browser and not to Firefox?

Reply in thread

Because it is still Chromium based and it means it is fast on Android, plus it comes packed with an adblocker by default which works wonders in closed out systems like iOS, also as many browsers (not all of them) it supports account syncing which it is always a nice plus (I can use a good working version of Brave in all the systems and keep a good flow for example).

I main Firefox in pretty much all the systems, but the Android app is missing a lot of features like tab management, and the iOS client just sucks (Brave works better there despite being Safari based too).

Does anyone else miss traditional forums?

Do we have a list of not death forums in 2025, I have been eyeing the following (Spanish forums) and even logged in again!

Emudesc.com Elotrolado.net Forosdz.club

As I only frequented forums as a kid and I didn't know the English language back then, Spanish forums is the only sweet memory that I have, but now I can be part of English forums too, the sad part is they are no longer mainstream 😅

Why do some people have so many browser tabs open?

If I need them again, browser history is there.

I think that browser history sucks in Firefox, I don't know why, if it has, well history, recently viewed and recently closed sections, YET I can't ever quickly find the one tab that I closed recently (but not that recently, recently enough to remember that I did) and it is shown days ago in the browser history which makes me always manually search for it and, oh boy if I remember a word differently from the site title I am in for a hard time...

I don't specifically hoard tabs (I do with Simple Tab Groups) but this seemed like the perfect chance for me to rant about this... Man I remember that the history option showed you the last recent visited/viewed or closed page :/

Is there an actor you can't stand? Do they have any exceptions?

Reply in thread

Hollywood overuse. "People like him let's put him in everything!"

I mean, I blame the audience more than Hollywood, the same reason why we get a lot of reboots and sequels instead of new movies, or the same reason why Netflix account sharing killing strategy worked.

The dislike shouldn't be completely headed to the actor nor Hollywood.

Also you got me thinking, would people that didn't see him in the older stuff like those you mentioned and are tired of him will roll their eyes if they decide to watch them just now?
