Which one is the browser that i can pay for and keep my privacy, then? Safari?
- BurningFrog 3y agoI'm told that browser is Brave
- gaze 3y agoUnfortunately brave is forever cemented in my mind as being linked to the brave shitcoin.
- causi 3y agoIs the Brave shitcoin really worse than all the stupid-ass stunts and services Mozilla has pulled over the years?
- michaelmrose 3y agoIntegration of pocket never sent your data to pocket or made you use it. It's scandals are entirely boring.
- gaze 3y agoI'm not saying better or worse, I'm just saying that it's an embarassment.
- account42 3y ago"But that other guy is just as bad" is never a good argument.
- StingyJelly 3y agoThe opt-in brave shitcoin?
- JPws_Prntr_Fngr 3y agoAn opt-in shitcoin ... that attempts to approach the advertising market in a new way, which I find genuinely interesting. And I'm an anti-advertising zealot.
- gaze 3y agoAny shitcoin whatsoever.
- freediver 3y agoHow can you pay for Brave?
- kossTKR 3y agoI don't get how brave even among non techie friends have gotten such a "progressive" reputation. It's a freaking shitcoin browser, but that probably means enormous PR budgets. Sad that a mozilla has apparently sunk itself in the meantime. It's really a sad dystopian future we live in compared to the cypherpunk optimism of the 90's.
- baal80spam 3y agoBrave is indeed a fantastic browser, and their recent introduction of vertical tabs is the cherry on top.
- _-____-_ 3y agoFirefox with uBlock Origin and various about:config flags disabling telemetry, autocomplete, etc.
- SoftTalker 3y agoYou're putting a lot of faith in uBlock Origin though. You have to grant it full permissions when you install it. Not at all saying that uBlock Origin is doing anything nefarious, but it certainly could.
- aceazzameen 3y agoI mean, anything you install on your hardware can do something nefarious. Edge is built into Windows, so who knows how deep its permissions can go. Luckily uBlock Origin is open source and viewable on github, and isn't driven by greed. So I trust it more than Microsoft or any big tech company.
- nottorp 3y agoWell some people are putting a lot of faith in Chrome, which is owned by Google. I don't know which choice is more risky...
- arepublicadoceu 3y agoYeap, everything can do nefarious things. But, somehow I trust a random dev that refuses to accept donations, even though my cheap ass would definitely donate to him, more than Microsoft, apple and (insert BigTech here)
- account42 3y agoI have more faith in gorhill behaving ethically than either of Mozilla, Google, Microsof or Apple, yes.
- freediver 3y agoOrion browser by Kagi is a browser you can pay for. Another one I know of is SigmaOS. Both are Mac only, not sure about the state of things on other platforms.
- lwn 3y agoOrion Browser is free. Payments are possible by donating or subscribing to either Orion+ or Kagi Search.
- MortimerDukePhD 3y agoNetscape Navigator Gold
- dmvdoug 3y agopats good old Telnet client
- benatkin 3y agoOpera GX
- kayxspre 3y agoBut Opera has been sold to Chinese companies, so those who are concerned about surveillance may not be comfortable with it. Opera's founder later created Vivaldi, which I have used ever since
- LeoPanthera 3y ago> Safari Yes.
- hospitalJail 3y agoNo source code= black box you can't trust.
- LeoPanthera 3y agoWell, the rendering engine is open source. https://webkit.org https://webkit.org
- hospitalJail 3y agoThat is a disingenuous response. I have a program that uses open source libraries, but the program is closed. Such a weird thing to post in reply. It has a 'nuh uh' feeling, but doesn't actually refute the parent. However it seeds doubt in the parent argument without ever touching the parent argument.
- PeterisP 3y agoAll the bad things of Edge we're discussing here are not in the rendering engine, so who cares about that?
