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.

I'm confused what is this about?

Anyone know of any iOS browsers that have downloads similar to Brave’s playlist function?

[-] MortUS@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago

I've been trying to move away from Google Chrome for awhile now. Brave was the easiest move for me - it's super slick and almost exactly like Google Chorme. But they just cannot help themselves from pushing Cryto BS on the startup page like every day - it's weird. I get they offset advertisements with Crypto, and maybe before The President ran a Crypto rugpull I'd be onboard, but now that the Rich Elites have publicly shown their hand in how they want to use Crypto I just can't support Brave.

Anyway, I've moved to Opera for the time being. If anyone else has suggestions I'm open to hear em, but like, I'm too used to webkit devtools.

After Firefox changed its TOS a lot of people (including me) have jumped to LibreWolf. It takes FF, removes any parts that phone home, and turns on many privacy options.

It takes a little tweaking to make all websites work correctly. I have it running almost perfectly on windoze. I tried installing on Ubuntu last night but my Linux newbie status held me back.

Turn it all off and it's no more in your face. The browser itself functions great when configured according to your needs.

Fuck their CEO though. Focus on the product. It works and consistently ranks as one of the highest orivacy based browser according to the EFF and multiple non profit sources.

At that point, why give the nazi fuck any browser usage? If you don't trust the source, don't trust the product.

Like the other person said, use Ungoogled Chromium. I use it on a couple of my devices and it works pretty well.

I understood what he said. Strip out some rude terms and it sounds accurate. The comments here sound like someone shouted “squirrel” to a pack of rabid dogs.

I also lack common sense and am posting this comment. In my feeble defense I really don’t know the guy, and suspect he likes baiting others

Is there a good mobile browser that...

  • Supports adblock?
  • Doesn't have as many rendering issues as Firefox on mobile sites?

I know the latter isn't Firefox's fault, but it still impacts the end user.

[-] LWD@lemm.ee 7 points 3 days ago

Cromite on Android checks both those boxes. Ad blocking isn't great, but the developer isn't Brave.

Firefox + uBlock Origin might be better if you haven't tried that specific extension before. It works more than okay for me, but I realize YMMV and that's especially true for non-flagships

While it's a Firefox fork, Ironfox works great for me.

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
