At this point you are allowed to put "George Soros" in scare quotes too. It is a good time to be alive. /S
Is this dude schizophrenic or something? What the fuck does he mean "Irish only apply"?
Historically Irish people were hated in the US and you would often find “No Irish” on job postings
It is used as a substitute for minority in the CEO’s context as a way to say Mozilla allowed minorities to apply for jobs
Between this, Proton and Firefox's change of terms, most of the advice I've seen on tech that protects your privacy seems like it's going the way of the dino.
Self hosting is increasingly the path forward for the privacy concious.
the only one of these that surprised me at all was firefox going to shit, and that started months ago with a smaller thing.
What’s proton’s change of terms? I’m not privy.
Firefox changed terms. Proton is just run by a twat.
Proton is great though.
Too bad. Already paid for premium :(
im not aware of proton changing terms, but their CEO announced he has trump's dick down his throat. well, as far as it'll reach. between his lips, at least. so they can't really be trusted to not snitch at this point.
Proton is fine, they use encryption, but don't expect anonymity, since it's email ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I'm confused what is this about?
Not shocked the fake coin browser has a right-wing CEO.
The origin story of Brave is entirely right-wing. He was forced out of Mozilla because of his public stances on political topics. It's no secret that after being forced out for his politics, he went on to create a new browser company.
yeah brave always felt gross and i remember them doing shady crap for years.
What is a "real coin"? Like a nickel? The little pieces of cheap metal with slavers on it?
The whole point of fake coins is to trade them for real coins.
For those looking for alternatives, there are a number Firefox forks such as Mullvad and Librewolf and then there's Chromium and it's various forks (just avoid Edge and, now, sadly, Brave)
What a clown, nothing new sadly
Brave browser is a litmus test.
Always has been. I considered anyone who used it slightly sus until further proof. And if they basically advertised it, I considered them too far gone to try anything else.
99% of people don't care about the things that you care about, and use the products they enjoy using. Classifying people by the web browser they use is crazy talk.
Vivaldi to replace brave if Firefox is not enough
Vivaldi is a very good browser, but if you want to support open web standards it would be better to use a non-Chromium-based browser like one of the Firefox derivatives. Also Vivaldi is closed source. Still, I do like Vivaldi.
Of course ff over everything. Zen browser is nice too. I say Vivaldi because of the chromium/blink rendering engines, Vivaldi has a consistent track record. They haven't tried to push any crypto down your throat and uBo still functions. They offer a different experience and welcome their community feedback
This spineless mouth breather just realised there's a buck to be made by glazing other alt-right mouth breathers. At least he can finally be himself now. Thankfully, his product is just google chrome repackaged and thereby sucks major ass.
just realised
"Just"? No, he's always been open about this, and that's why his appointment as Mozilla CEO was so controversial in 2014, and why the board revolted and he ended up resigning 11 days into his tenure.
The whole origin story of Brave is steeped in right wing politics.
I WANT TO GET OFF MR. BONES' WILD RIDE!
Sounds like pretty standard far right brainrot.
Does anyone know of a decent browser that syncs between Android and Windows versions that isn't Firefox based? Mobile Firefox's UX is not my cup of tea
try Vivaldi.
