The IRS rules governing nonprofits still required the Mozilla Foundation to beg big to go big: the parent had to go find big grants from Soros, Ford, Knight, MacArthur, and give smaller grants to many. This put it in the lefties-only-no-righty-Irish-need-apply revolving-door personnel sector of NGOs and nonprofits (too many glowies there for me, too). Which meant I had a hostile MoFo over my head the minute I got CEO appointment from the MoCo board...

Of course I can't comment on anything about my exit, for reasons that only the most loopy HN h8ers still can't figure out.

Is ungoogeled-chromium any less skeezy? It's not my main browser but every now and then I need a Chrome based browser or some sites just don't work right.

[-] LWD@lemm.ee 21 points 2 months ago

Ungoogled Chromium does a really good job of taking Google out of Chrome, so far less skeezy. None of that cryptocurrency stuff either.

[-] futatorius@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago

Thorium's OK too.

What cryptocurrency is integrated into Chrome?

[-] Benjaben@lemmy.world 29 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Pretty sure the cryptocurrency comment is referring to Brave, not Chrome.

I imagine the implication is that no cryptocurrency stuff is inserted in the spot that google once occupied.

Are there any forks that aren't infested with rabid honeybadgers?

Maybe zen browser! Idk, my only hope is either Ladybird or Servo producing something usable this decade.

[-] adamas@jlai.lu 3 points 2 months ago

I like Zen ! Ladybird Pre-Alpha is scheduled for 2026, so, yeah, maybe this decade.

Hey I really liked Zen too! But I’m having trouble opening new tabs, like when I’m on a random webpage on the first tab, I go Ctrl T and the prompt comes up. I type in a search query or a URL and when I press enter, it’s a toss up whether the browser decides to override the current tab I’m on or actually load it in a second tab. Is anyone else facing the same issue or did I misconfigure something?
