imagine if we had a browser like kagi with its own engine from scratch where you are not the product and it charged you a monthly subscription for privacy free

- menno-sh 3mo agoI mean, Orion exists (on Mac at least, although I heard there's a Linux version now?). Might not have its own engine built from the ground up, but WebKit is pretty much the next best thing.
- the_lucifer 3mo ago> although I heard there's a Linux version now? Yes, there's a Linux beta.

- Larrikin 3mo agoWhat's wrong with Firefox and AdNauseum?
- vivzkestrel 3mo agoi dont follow em closely but wasnt there a new firefox ceo who wanted to push AI everywhere
- inigyou 3mo agoYou're the product in Firefox, just a different kind than in chrome. Ad Nauseam is silly because ad companies know they are fake clicks and don't count them. Ads aren't the only thing you'd need to block from the internet.
- Larrikin 3mo agoThere is zero evidence Ad Nauseum does not work, but there are plenty of signals it does. Google banned it from the Chrome store and setting any threshold below one hundred percent click rate just uses random. Even if it is somehow detectable it's just Ublock origin and not every ad network is worth billions of dollars
- inigyou 3mo agoHave you bought ads and then browsed that site with Ad Nauseum and then discovered that you paid for the ads?
