A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Brave's CEO opposes same-sex marriage in the US and donated money to anti-LGBT groups. It's why he was ousted at Mozilla. As a result I cannot in good conscience use anything from Brave.
Ditto. Brave also promotes their own crypto-coin ponzi nonsense. And at one point I believe they made a far-right website a default link on their homepage, before outcry compelled them to remove it.
Duckduckgo search engine works as well as google's, though. Except that I haven't yet figured out what the equivalent formatting for "site:reddit.com" is for it, if site specific search is even a supported function (surely?)
Edit: I won't scold anyone for using a free browser though. It's not like you give them $$$. But they do get your data, and while they claim to be about privacy I don't exactly trust them as far as I can throw them.
It is actually the exact same syntax/formatting as Google's! So
Dolphins site:wikipedia.orgshould show you only search results from Wikipedia.This kinda pained me as well as its a centralized coin that requires you to verify with a passport to even get access to the earned rewards. Literally the opposite of having a private browser. Still happy with it as browser for mobile though, others dont really compare (Firefox had a bunch of bad design decisions I didnt like).
This and the CEO's shenanigans made me move to startpage, although I've heard that it isn't great for privacy either.
The bang for reddit is !r, so you can type
!r Applesto learn what reddit thinks about the fruit-cum-trendy computer company.Didn't know this, thanks for the heads up. Though I stick to duckduckgo regardless, I know not to recommend brave.
Ouch. I did not know that. I was considering paying for it in order to support them. Now, maybe not
