I am conflicted when it comes to stuff like that: - on the one hand I really want free, open and non profit services to succeed - at the same time I greatly value the user experience Don't get me wrong: These two things can go hand in hand. There are tons of good examples out there. But, the closer you get to classic user-centric applications and leave the software developer bubble, the greater the discrepancy becomes in my experience. Brave, DuckDuckGo, Firefox and so on are desirable. But I always feel like I am missing out on the UX. Google still yields better search results FOR ME(even with all those ads and clickbait). Firefox still feels a bit dated and slow compared to Chrome. I value the positive effects of free software so much that I am willing to accept limitations in usability in the hope that it will improve over time. But I feel like it should not be this way. I can't support every project financially or contribute to its success as a contributor. My time and financial resources are limited. I haven't really found a solution for this problem. My best guess is that the government should intervene in the free market and install market barriers to tame giants like Google. But this is repugnant to the liberal in me.
