I find myself switching between Brave and Firefox. The anti-Brave crowd is mostly dissatisfied with the Brave ownership and the crypto/ad features. I myself don't have a problem with either. The crypto and ad features can simply be disabled. If you like Brave and it does what you want then you should use it
I think I do. The source is open, but that doesn't mean that the community decides what happens with Chromium. The comment I was replying to said that the FOSS community would not embrace Google's decision. I say that Google does not care about you. What are you gonna do about it, short of forking Chromium and going your own way, or maybe patching out their changes? Most people will stay on the unmodified Chromium
Sure, Chromium is open source, but let's not pretend that the community has any say over Chromium's direction. Google is making the decisions, we're just allowed to watch
I wish I could do that as well, but most of the big public trackers are blocked where I live. I need to run Sonarr and the like through the VPN because I can't search through the trackers otherwise
I haven't heard of prowlarr's HTTP proxy. Do you have a link to more info about it?
My (almost finished) script creates a setup like this. It doesn't just do a client + VPN, but it can also set up radarr, sonarr, jellyfin, and a couple of other services

Don't mind me plugging my little project. It basically does what you described. Currently rewriting the setup script so anyone interested should use the v1 tag and not the master branch

Use this. I've used myself loads of times. Even better if you can get your hands on an IoT LTSC version of Windows 10 and then activate it using this script
Thunderbird is and always has been the GOAT. The only real downside is the lack of a tray item, but this can be partially solved by installing Birdtray. I think Thunderbird 115 released with this feature, but it only works on Windows. Fingers crossed that it comes to Linux soon
