When I first tried to install Arch, I gave up when I got confused with the documentation for an encrypted install.

But since I’ve discovered archinstall, it’s a dream to do and arguably faster to install than other distros.

Never said they didn’t, but Firefox does as well and the duality of criteria is astonishing.

Urr durr Brave bad Firefox perfect and always good.

Google uses Signal protocol to handle E2E for RCS communication:

Google SAYS they use the Signal protocol.

Without open-source applications, you have to trust these companies to do the right thing when they can track you and make money from it in every single step of the way. Same goes for Meta with Whatsapp.

What you are talking about is the operating system, not the cpu.

The ARM architecture allows much more performance for less power when compared to AMD64, because it runs simpler instructions.

The change to ARM chips on laptops will not make them work like phones, with the exception of much better standby.

He could set a million dollars on fire every day for the next 50 years and still have another million to spend that day.

Just wanna point out that net worth doesn’t equal money in the bank. If he tried to convert his worth (probably NVIDIA stocks) to money it would be very hard and only a percentage of the initial worth (because of shares dumping).

its far better to use a browser which was made from ground up to support user privacy and features rather then patching a browser which was made to compromises their user privacy

Unfortunately we don’t have that yet, since Librewolf is a fork of Firefox as well.

Also, if I had to guess by the number of forks, Gecko is way harder to fork than Chromium.

Yes… But they can modify it like they did when they suppressed Manifest V3 and like they will for the new web drm.

What if I told you… this isn’t a Google product?

Idk, I use gnome with pop shell tiling and Firefox is the only program that does it.

I’m also tired of Firefox’s bullshit pushing sponsored websites and Pocket and (before) injecting an extension to everyone to sponsor Mr. Robot.

But I don’t see you complaining about that.

I don’t see why making money needs to be at all a part of using a piece of software.

It doesn’t…?

When you install Brave the crypto is opt-in, and to hide it permanently is literally 2 clicks.

I want to like Firefox, both as normal user and as web developer, but something about it keeps bugging me. The UI feels sluggish, sites seem to be slightly less performant, and I can’t seem to get used to it.

I feel the exact same. I use linux with a tiling window manager and when I change format, Firefox just starts twitching like it’s trying to give me an epileptic seizure while chromium browsers do it just fine.

Also, sometime ago I tried to compare Chrome (when I still used it) and Firefox side by side with the same extensions opening the same websites and Firefox always took a bit more ram.

Do Macbooks have a matte screen?

I say this as I’m using Revanced. I only see ads on the shorts, though.

Doesn’t Youtube do this, at least with shorts?

I’m tired of seeing ads on “how you can make 15$ watching one video and earning 20k in a month doing almost nothing” and I can’t find a way to report it.

I don’t think it’s as much reducing performance, as it is stamping out poorly optimized cpu calls that make it work harder than it should.

Several reviewers I saw all said that the heat up issue is not consistent with doing performance work. One of them spent the whole day shooting 4k in the sun and the phone was fine. Then he went to use spotify while in airplane mode (literally on a plane) and the phone just started heating up for no reason.

You guys need keys?

Yeah, sometimes if I haven’t booted up my laptop in a while, I’ll run pacman -Sy archlinux-keyring to get the keys I need.

I believe Brave is the most private chromium browser, at least with the installation defaults.

As for the controversies with the company, there were some at the beginning stages, but I haven’t heard anything new in quite a while.

Regarding the crypto, vpn, etc bloat, I use Brave on all my devices and all I have to do is hide that stuff after the installation and I’ve never been bothered by pop-ups or similar annoyances. I don’t think it’s more annoying to remove than having to remove the recommended sites and Pocket with Firefox.

Since you want private browsing, I would also say that a big plus for Brave is that it has built-in Tor browser.
