Agreed, but I felt compelled to mention the filthy source 😅

All true, I’m pretty much saying all are pretty bad. To quote a post from Reddit:

“Reasons to stop supporting Mozilla:

While Mozilla laid off 250 employees then gave their Execs got a colossal salary raise

Delving into politics

Their last major innovation is piggybacking on Mullvad to make a VPN UI which mandates a Mozilla account, so basically a shittier non-anonymous version of Mullvad. (Full disclosure I think Mullvad is pretty damn good, just Mozilla's spin on it is garbage). Even Firefox relay is a complete cashgrab compared to its independent alternatives like anonaddy.

Mozilla doesn't deserve your donations nor your usage. They are paid off by Google to make their grubby search engine the default. They don't need your money.

The Mozilla we knew is not the one we have anymore”

I’d like a more independant way to browse the web, a browser has become as important as my OS and I want to see a Linux of browsers!

Problem is Mozilla leaders aint much better. I use both roughly equally. Still waiting for other browsers to take off.

Seconded.

Same reason. Such huge amounts of downvotes every time I mention Brave. I get it, the CEO is dick. Most are.

Frontendwise; Librechat is pretty cool.

Choose OS is very relevant when doing cloud stuff.

Fair enough. I hope you get it.

Why is insert any thing so complicated in Windows compared to GNU + Linux?

C’mon where is your sense of adventure.

I see no reason why we can’t have both.

I don’t remember the quote directly but it’s somewhere in the area of that;

We have gotten so used to living in the shadow of annihilation that we’ve forgotten to fear the constant threat of global destruction that nuclear war is.

This podcast really gave me some perspective on that.

I found it a bit strange that their “Follow us” section didn’t have a Fediverse link. I expected a Mastadon user or something.

Hell yeah!

As much as I dislike Google I feel you really made a decent suggestion here.

Scary bedtime read.

I’ve been using Brave search for a while as a daily driver. It’s usually pretty decent, but I fall back to google when looking for commercial stuff like local stores and products.
