please forgive me your highness. instead i bring you this 2007 Ford Mustang

how about my heavy machinery?!

top 4 made up scenarios you’ll never catch me spending my saturday writing an essay about online

my friends and i were also teenage pyromaniacs, and one night we learned that blowing fire straight down a sewer grating propels it right back towards your face

that is a great relief to hear, thank you :)

i’m comprehending that much, but i don’t understand how extensions “announce” themselves to the websites (except for content blockers). does my browser send a number corresponding to the amount of extensions i have installed? or are they listed out individually by hash or name?

oh sick! thanks

mac has homebrew!

think it’s cmd+alt+shift+v for our mac friends

Holding a dickhead like him or the Tates up as some sort of goal to strive towards is synonymous with "rock bottom."

for real, have you seen the chin (or lack thereof) on tate? lmfao. might be hard to spot of course because he tries to hide it very desperately with his little prepubescent goblin beard

yes

1. copyright is a deeply flawed system invented by capitalists with moronic consequences for well-intentioned artists today
2. i regularly support musicians i like through bandcamp (especially on bandcamp fridays where they get 100% of the money)
3. i usually do not pirate indie things (but remember that if your only options are piracy or “key reseller” sites, ALWAYS pirate. you are actively costing the devs money if you buy a stolen key from a reseller (and they are all stolen))
4. i’m poor and adobe can choke on my balls

but where do extensions come into the picture? i apologize if i’m missing something obvious here, but the only thing that article says about extensions is that blocking specific trackers counts as fingerprint data. but the VAST majority of my extensions aren’t blocking anything, they just customize the pages

been using wefwef since the start and didn’t hear about voyager until this poll, love it :) is it made by the same person that did wefwef?

can someone explain extension fingerprinting to me? i’ve always heard about it, but to my layman brain it doesn’t make sense that a locally executed modification of css (in the case of dark reader) gives any kind of data to the site host. i guess for ublock it makes more sense since i’m guessing that has to do with blocking specific requests from going out in the first place, or what?

i think you guys are forgetting that physical real-world ads are an option, especially for the example of a restaurant. a billboard doesn’t harvest any data

oh right, of course! for some reason i was only thinking of which chromium-based alternatives we could recommend.

i like vivaldi a lot :) mostly because of its UI and extremely easy in-depth customization. in my opinion it is the greatest-looking web browser (if you don’t factor in all the css fiddling you can do in a text editor with firefox, of course. but even then i don’t recall seeing any custom firefox user style that looked better than vivaldi to me).

the reason why i switched away from vivaldi and back to firefox after ~2 years of straight usage was that vivaldi had a weird performance bug for me where if i had too many tabs open for too many days in a row (laptop, no shutdown), it would randomly start freezing and i’d have to restart it. but when it was running on a fresh start, it was amazing. also the more ethical choice of using a non-chromium browser was part of the reason

reasonable!

smoked 2 boxes of cigarettes in one sitting

that seems like an extremely reckless way to scold your child

hey don’t put that on gen z, dumbasses come in all ages (although mostly boomers)
