I'm concerned, and I am glad people keep writing about this.
But the final bit in this post is really where I'm at: I have no idea where to go from here.
Currently on mobile I use Orion--it's the only mobile browser I've found where setting up AdBlocking is reasonably easy. Maybe I'll try it on Desktop.
But this doesn't really address the issue of there being only one rendering engine out there because it uses WebKit.
- bjord 10mo agoare you on android or iOS?
- kerkeslager 10mo agoI'm on iOS.
- bjord 10mo agoI'm a kagi fan, but my family members who I've had try orion ran into quite a few issues. Might be worth trying one of these with regular safari: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/ublock-origin-lite/id6745342698 https://apps.apple.com/us/app/ublock-origin-lite/id674534269... https://apps.apple.com/us/app/wipr-2/id1662217862 https://apps.apple.com/us/app/wipr-2/id1662217862 on android I use firefox with the regular ublock origin extension
- bjord 10mo agoand if you're a chrome user on desktop (I use ff), helium might be worth a try https://helium.computer https://helium.computer full disclosure: one of the devs is a friend of mine if for some reason you want to use webkit on desktop (linux), there's always gnome web, but in my experience it can't handle anything beyond very basic browsing (for example, a youtube video will cause it to crash)
- username223 10mo ago> But the final bit in this post is really where I'm at: I have no idea where to go from here. That's a good question. Mozilla has something like a half-billion dollars of assets, which is more than twice what the Linux Foundation reports. Does maintaining a web browser cost more than twice as much as maintaining an operating system? Hopefully not, but maybe it's time we find out.
