Chromium is free software too, but that does not justify any usage of Chrome. If you use Chrome, you can't justify it on Chromium being open source. As for Chromium itself, it is very obvious that it is not actually meant to be used by

Why not just stop playing video games? There's a universal consensus that they're a waste of time anyway, no? I mean this seriously because it is my first thought when someone claims not to be able to switch to GNU/Linux beca

Ubuntu includes proprietary software in the default installation and has done questionable things in the past. Other distributions (particularly Fedora) do better on user-friendliness in my opinion, despite the common opinion that it is oth

Almost all the pages I see CAPTCHAs on with Tor have absolutely nothing to protect. Arguably the website owners who use CloudFlare are far more to blame than CloudFlare itself. Nevertheless, I believe CloudFlare should stop using reCAPTCH
