Nah, it’s “old man yells at cloud”. Blank face is a long standing tradition in the retail and service industries. Ignore 'em and keep being yourself.
- Comment on Does importing goods from abroad alone really void sales tax? 4 days ago:
The only way to do it tax and duty free would be to go to Akihabara yourself, buy the goodies in person (paying sales tax), and get a receipt. Then submit the receipt to the relevant tax authority to get your sales tax reimbursed (there are companies that will help you with this for a fee). Then you take the goodies back with you in checked baggage and hope you’re under the personal limit for importing goods, otherwise they’ll hit you with the import duty anyway.
- Comment on Is school cafeteria food in America trash? 5 days ago:
This is a false equivalence. The same company providing food for two different markets might be providing two different menus. Like a cake company which makes different cakes, and also some bread products, maybe some biscuits… you wouldn’t open a box of biscuits and find a cake inside. Except maybe Jaffa Cakes. What was I saying again?
Oh yeah, faulty logic, but it wouldn’t surprise me if there were some mix-and-matching going on. Capitalism gotta capitalise.

If I was cynical - which I absolutely am - I’d say maybe it’s a total nothingburger that’s being overplayed as a distraction from something else?

Let me make it simple for you. Using browser = giving them your data + seeing their ads. Money from ads + selling your data = funding CEO. CEO = anti-LGBTQ+ crypto bro. If you need more help, please engage your brain and re-read this post.

Congratulations for helping fund bigotry.
Plonk.

IronFox seems to be highly recommended elsewhere in the comments but I don’t browse on my phone, I just use the default Vanadium, which is Good Enough™.
- Comment on When people recommend Brave browser. 1 week ago:
I don’t blame folks for using it.
I do blame folks for not reading up before recommending it.

Turn on automatic updates. It’s as frictionless as The Mighty Goog allow it to be and a hell of a lot better than putting up with ads.

Congratulations on missing the point.

Massively delayed? LibreWolf has only ever been a few days at most behind the curve. It’s currently on 148.0.2, which is on par with the current version of Firefox released just last week.
- Comment on When people recommend Brave browser. 1 week ago:
The problem with Firefox is they inflict stuff on you without giving you the chance to opt in. LibreWolf delays the updates (a few days at most in my experience) to cut out the latest round of slop shit and sponsors. It’s not just about the default settings, it’s about the ongoing curation.

I wouldn’t trust anything Proton for security or privacy, but that’s a whole can of worms I’m not going to open right now.

Fun fact, the annoying orange is based on the curious orange, a segment from cult 90s tv show This Morning With Richard Not Judy. Look it up. It’s… something!

Also 1. in Brave: Bookmarks and lists, Bookmark manager, three dot menu, Export Bookmarks, save the HTML file on your computer. Then in LibreWolf: Bookmarks, Manage Bookmarks, Import and Backup, Import Bookmarks from HTML, select that file.

There’s an add-on called Dark Reader which may help with number 4. I don’t know if IronFox supports extensions, but that’s the one you probably want.
- Comment on When people recommend Brave browser. 1 week ago:
LibreWolf is great once you get yourself onboarded. The onboarding royally sucks. You need to remember that by default LibreWolf is really locked down and it’s on the user to unlock the bits of it they can’t live without. For instance, by default LibreWolf clears its cookies every time you quit, which is great for privacy, but everything’s a tradeoff and that’s too much for me.

Isn’t literally every browser on Ios just Safari with a bag on the side?

Yes. It makes money off their own crypto. And funnels it to their anti-LGBTQ+ CEO. Who spends it to fund bigots.
Congratulations, you’re funding bigots.
- Comment on When people recommend Brave browser. 1 week ago:
Yes, it’s just Chrome but better - it also funds bigots!
Plonk.
- Comment on When people recommend Brave browser. 1 week ago:
Sure it’s better, if you want to directly fund anti-LGBTQ+ crypto bros.
May as well give money to the fucking Salvation Army.

Firefox (and its forks) have an integrated profile manager, though it’s not always intuitive to figure out how to get to it. LibreWolf is the fork I seem to always go back to, and it has zero slop.
I use containers. Right-click on the new tab button and pick a container to open the tab in. There’s also an add-on that will do this automatically for you when you visit a specific website, so if you want every site to live in its own container, you can do that too.
Personally I just use its built-in cross-site cookie blocking, but multiple ways to do the same thing.

You’re welcome, wish I could take the credit for it, but I don’t even know where it came from. Blackadder, I think.

I tried Zen, didn’t really like it, the UI was too unfamiliar and felt a smidge too opinionated for my taste.
- Comment on When people recommend Brave browser. 1 week ago:
ok
- Comment on When people recommend Brave browser. 1 week ago:
Ungoogled Chromium is ok. I used it for a while. I found it to be ok. Not great. Not terrible. Just ok.
Helium looks ok too, if they ever release it as a flatpak or snap I’ll give it a go.
I tried Vivaldi. It reminded me of what Netscape Communicator used to be - browser, mail client, newsfroup reader… A few too many bells whistles and gongs for me.
If I was forced to pick a chromium variant, I’d probably turn my PC off for the night and go and have a nice lie down.

They accepted donations for every creator on every platform. Using the creator’s photos. Implying the creators would get the donations. In fact they only got the pseudo-money if they handed over all their personal details to Brave and agreed to Brave’s terms. Otherwise, those donations quietly vanished, presumably into Brave’s coffers.

Respectfully, the package also contains the hate, ads, crypto, and fraud. It’s not a good package.
- Comment on When people recommend Brave browser. 1 week ago:
I have no particular axe to grind in this matter but I’m pretty sure there’s no equivalence and it’s more nuanced than that.
