It's not a scam. It worked perfectly first try for me back when I tried it out like a year ago.

Especially skip the ProtonVPN app if you're on Linux.

To steal a line from LGR's video on Redguard, it's just so B A L L S.

If you can only get Service B by paying for Service A, then Service B isn't really free; it's just added value.

A nitpick, yes, but I feel it's an important one.

Oh I get it! It's certainly not easy. Haha. I struggle with it myself, but I've noticed that my mental health improves the more uncluttered my external life is, and my browser is a part of the latter.

"A tidy room is a tidy mind" and all that... It's not 100% accurate, but it's got a ring of truth to it, I've found, at least for me.

You know, I've been trying Zen and although I still prefer horizontal to vertical, I can see I was actually somewhat wrong about what I said.

The sidebar is actually expandable (they don't make that clear) and if you do expand it beyond its default, you can actually see more of each tab's titles. It actually helps a lot if you have a shitload of tabs.

If you are like me however and typically try to have only a smaller number of tabs pinned (or consistently open), typically no more than like a third of your screen width at most, then there really is not much of a difference unless you're already used to vertical over horizontal tab bars.

Oh that's funny x3

 

(I don't speak German.)

Exactly!

It is totally valid that you are not. We all have our preferences. :)

With that being said, I don't get the "BÄÄM" reference. Hehe.

Lol, I love me some James May saying "cheese", but I was more referring to the old Futurama episode where Bender goes back to Mars University. One of his signature catchphrases in that episode is "Cheese it!"

I will say as nice as Zen seems (I agree that it's not bad), I don't really like the whole "vertical tabs" shtick. I mean, I can see why some people would like that, but personally I never got into it. It just looks weird to me and I like seeing more of my tab names (weirdly enough that's exactly what a lot of pro-vertical users claim is good about them lol).

Also, from a privacy standpoint, not a huge fan personally of the fact that unlike LibreWolf, Zen Browser doesn't have ResistFingerprinting enabled by default (not sure if it's even in there tbh).

As @erotador@lemmy.blahaj.zone said, default Firefox is still more private than Chrome. Also, if you want security (and more privacy) on top of that, you should look into LibreWolf. I've been using it for a few years now and it's fantastic!

Cheese it!

Thanks. :)

Haha, hell no. It was full of faulty logic, hardly waterproof axioms, and clearly biased toward the quasi-geological perspective over political, cultural, and economic perspectives.

So, no. I do not believe this now. Haha.

Lol that's interesting. Kind of a clever way of looking at it. Haha.

Ow.

I'm not a Discordian but I do believe in the Republic of Dave!

Do I get a seat? :D

Waaaaay back in college (this was over a decade ago), I wrote a 16-page paper making the argument that there were only four continents, not five, six, or seven as various countries proclaim:

 

The Cliff Notes:

• North America and South America can be still considered a single continent due to the fact that the Panama Canal doesn't fully bisect the two landmasses. (The Isthmus of Panama is still very much wild rainforest and lakes, and the canal is essentially two points on each side connected by a boat route across multiple of these lakes).

So, #1: America (alt. the Americas)

• Europe and Asia are not actually bisected into two landmasses, and if anything any physical connection is reinforced by the fact that the boundary is the Ural Mountain range.

So, #2: Eurasia

• Prior to the construction of the Suez Canal in 1869, Europe and Africa were indeed the same landmass, connected by the Isthmus of Suez. However, as the Suez Canal is a sea-level canal, it is created by literally cutting the landmasses apart down to relative sea levels.

So, #3: Africa

• Australia.........Yeah, I didn't see any reason why it should lose its status as the world's biggest island and smallest continent.

So, #4: Australia

• Antarctica I didn't consider a continent because it's mostly ice, and if Australia is considered the minimum bound for how big a "continent" should be, then, well, the portion of Antarctica that is actually ground below all that ice is actually a smaller contiguous size than Australia, ergo it cannot count as a continent.

'Course now I'm older and realize that was all bullshit. Lol. Sure it makes sense from a geological standpoint (but even that is bullshit as geologically there are no "continents", only plates), but a continent is more than its geological structure; it's geological, political, and economic, all three of these rolled into one.
