    Only librewolf and tor browser are free software. The rest are irrelevant.

    firefox hits the sweet spot between “actually decent browser that has useful features” and “well known enough that people don’t switch off when i start talking about it” so i will keep using it and just ignore the pocket stuff

    As someone who has to cross-browser test stuff, I cannot endorse calling a WebKit-based browser “Chrome”

    Do people still pretend DDG is somehow more private than the other search engines? It’s not open source and I don’t think they ever got audited either lol. I guess that’s why I only see people talking about it bringing up uncensored results rather than privacy thử days, and even that’s questionable

      DDG has censored searches regarding Russia SMO. I personally use their html version (html.duckduckgo.com) since it loads no proprietary code and just gets me search results. Half of which will just be links to forums like stack overflow and reddit.

      It’s just a front end for Bing. Results are taken from there mainly, and they have a partnership with Microsoft. There was an attempt to exclude microsoft ad tracking id from the ‘privacy’ filters of DDG.

      It’s nearly impossible for a small company to have a crawler and store that enormous data.

        It’s not just possible, it’s widespread.

        (TBH it was never very convincing that these capitalists were going to help poor people by extracting their wealth.)

    Safari isn’t Chrome, not that it’s necessarily good on its own but it is good in the sense that it challenges Chrome’s near browser monopoly

        Cringy theming and allegedly less system use (but it’s Chromium so kind of a losing battle). God I hate gamer shit.

    Did I miss the news on why Vivaldi is “Suspicious”?

      Vivaldi is not open source yet they claim to be the freest and most customizable browser.

      Their article explaining why they aren’t libre is full of weak sauce misleading statements about muh branding and also very hypocritical considering they only exist because of open source projects.

      I highly recommend against them. If you have to use chromium then use ungoogled chromium. Otherwise just use firefox and its forks.
