But… but… the invisible hand of the market! Unrestrained competition! Capitalism driving innovation! Oh wait, was all of that bullshit and while you’re lobbying congress to cut public funding for shit like school lunches the minute you face the tiniest hardship from a competitor you turn around and ask for a handout? Suck it up, buttercup. Guess socialism wins again huh?
No doubt, but it’s still not a lot over the sample size.
Yeah, but old browser extension has let me block all advertisers (and all of them are equally my most-hated) forever, so reddit is cordially invited to get fucked. And they can construe that as ‘encouraging violence’ all they like.
Inertia, convenience of what you’re used to, and all of your friends are over there and have never heard of ‘the fediverse’.
That seems like a lot, but that’s <$12/user in microtransactions and ~$43/user in games. That’s like… 2 microtransaction purchases and a couple indie games each.
Iono, I would normally say a deep forest green, but I have recently been growing in appreciation of purple.
Yeah, it’s still set as my default for handling PDFs, so I keep opening them in there and then copying the address over to chrome by hand because I’m too lazy to go find the default app settings.
Boy n the Hood
I haven’t used it in a couple years now, so maybe they’ve gotten better. shrug Also never tried it on my phone, I use duckduckgo’s browser.
The main issue I have with Firefox is that some pdfs have this side-by-side layout (especially rpg pdfs) that Firefox respects and I keep having to turn it off every time I load a new one. Chrome doesn’t respect it and shows it a page at a time like I want. My eyes don’t work too good so side by side the text is just too small.
I used Brave for a while and found I still needed to use ublock to cover some things, especially stuff like Youtube ads.
I didn’t realize there were firefox forks, are any of them significantly better than firefox?
Yeah, I switched to Firefox when this whole Manifest V3 thing was announced, I only still have Chrome installed because it’s better for PDFs than Firefox and once in a great while i run into a site that doesn’t work right on Firefox.
Yeah, I heard someone say a week or so ago that they straight disabled it in the browser, and now only the gimped version that works with Manifest V3 works now. Thankfully I switched to Firefox when all this Manifest V3 stuff was announced. As far as I know it’s the only browser out there that isn’t based on Chromium (which Google also controls, so browsers like Brave will likely be affected by this soon as well, unless a bunch of those smaller browsers get together and fork Chromium and maintain it themselves, which I’m not very hopeful about) and so doesn’t have to worry about these shenanigans.
Nah this is bullshit, and I’m shocked to see it coming from the EFF. If you can’t build your ML model without stealing other peoples’ work to do it, don’t fucking do it. The purpose of IP law is to ensure that people who create are compensated for their work, and I never thought in a million years I’d see the EFF arguing against the protection of people over business.
